    Hi, I want to know how I should list the meta keywords for each listing on my site: http://www.apartmentsrus.ca/. Should I list them separated by a coma like this: keyword, keyword, keyword. Or in point form like this:
    keyword
    keyword
    keyword
    keyword

    Also, my site lists apartments for rent in Victoria, BC so all my listings are very similar. Is it ok if I use the same meta keywords for every listing, or should I change them a bit for each one. I am listing about 25 meta keywords for each listing.....

    Thanks!

    Don't bother, the keywords meta tag has no value.

    More importantly, it's use advertises to your competitors what keywords you are optimising for.In the event you find a great niche keyword you'll let all of your competitors know about it!!

    The correct format should be <META NAME=KEYWORDS CONTENT="keyword,keyword,keyword,keyword">.

    Just separate your keyword by comma. It is the right formatting for keywords.

    Utilize commas to separate your meta keywords. Also, although Google doesn't pay attention to meta keywords you should still use them; there are some search engines that may pay attention to them.

    Perfectly stated by others about the importance & relevance of Meta Keywords. I also checked your website, basically we try to promote just a couple 3/5 keywords per page (for more keywords have more pages). Additionally, the Title and Meta Description are very important, and should be different for each page.

    I wonder, all of those commenting after the second message - cannot they read?
    Meta Keywords tag has NO value. Forget it. It's 19th century of SEO. Today is 21st.
