META keyword tag actually viewed by search engines?

is it? just wondering

 

All the major ones, no not really. A lot of the smaller ones, yes.

I would add them it couldn't hurt. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on them though.

 

Because of keywords stuffing used in the days, keywords meta are not important anymore for major SE

 

You'll rank higher in the search engines without it, but thing is, Adwords uses it to determine page quality score.

 

I've never seen a site in the top 10 really that doesn't use meta tags. Even google recommends using them. They may not hold much weight but they do help a tad.

 

keywords meta are not important anymore for major SE..

 

Nobody knows for sure.

I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, keywords are useful for reasons other than SEO.

 

Keywords are used only to enhance your searchability for those keywords or keyphrases.
