    1. <meta name="keywords" content="free online games, free games, online games" /> - keywords from wordtracker

    or

    2. <meta name="keywords" content="free, online, games" />

    Some site with high organic traffic use 1 and 2 variant.

    What you think, which is the Best variant ?

    Appreciate yours opinions.

    none of the search engines use keywords any longer in regards to seo - it may be important within internal search on your site though

    some search engines still use meta-tags and keywords - so why not use it - though google does not have any relation with meta-tags

    but i would still recommend using it - and i think the 1 one is good you should use that.

    hope it helps...

    Some engines still use meta keywords - correct! But not for ranking purpose - and none of the big ones use them. There are other meta tags that are still in use and should be properly filled out though.

    in "search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf" from google, about keywords nothing, only meta description.
    my good ranking is only keywords from meta description.
    i experimented.

    Use 4 -5 words max, make the keywords related to what the page is about, there is no real harm of using the meta description, but like others have said, I don't think the big boys (Google etc) use them any more.

    Meta keyword tag provides the keywords list to the search engines and in the same way, the Meta description tag provides the search engine with a summary of the web page’s content.
    so they are helpful to seo.

    Meta keywords are getting obsolete, I don't think they are effective in SEO. Anyway, the first one would be better. There is no limit in your keywords in meta tags, just don't stuff and everything will be fine.

    Meta keywords tag is not supported by Google but is is still supported by some other search engines it it is better to put that tag. there is no such limit but you should put it with list of approx. 15 keywords in it.
