    When im doing meta tags, how do i list the keywords. Do i do it like this:
    halo 3, halo 3 news, halo 3 forum, halo 3 preview

    Or do i do it like this:
    halo 3, news, forum, preview


    PS. I dont have a halo 3 site, just an example :)

    Yes , like the second, you dont need to repeat keywords a million times,

    <meta name="keywords" content="arcade games, funny movies, horoscopes, pictures, humor">
<meta name="description" content="Things to do when you are bored or just want to waste time">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    PHP:

    In reality, you don't even need meta keywords. The major search engines don't really care about them. Put the keywords in your content and link anchors.

    So true.

    The only meta tag that is critical is the <title></title> tag.

    Some other metas can be quite handy, but meta keywords was abandoned years ago by the engines as a significant ranking factor.
