    Like I hear all this talk about keywords and I have no idea what they are or how to make them.
    Can someone help me out? My site is thegermz.com
    Like I know what a keyword is I just don't know how to insert it in my site, I can do it on digg though.

    Keywords are the search terms that people use to find your site. You want to make it easy for them to do that, so you make sure that those keywords/search terms have some prominence, by using them as titles, headers, in your text, and also having them as anchored text in backlinks - so that search engines know that those words/phrases are what your site is about.

    Key words are best used to give the surfers of the internet the most relevant results for the search terms that they type into the search field of the search engine they are choosing(?) to use.

    Key words are best targeted when you actually have the best answers to the search query in question.

    Key words are "let's say" somewhat dependent on your honesty to produce the correct most relevant result for a "particular search engine search term".

    For example

    If you are looking for

    "The Worlds Best Search Optimiser"

    You might search/target "Worlds best Search Optimiser" as your search terms

    Starting with your "Title tags"

    Yeah, keywords are sort of summary of your site's content.

    To make them, add this between <head> and </head> to put keywords on your site:
    
    <meta name="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,etc,etc" />
    
    Code (markup):

    Go to your template
    write your keyword at the Edit HTML

    put your meta tags after this code...

    <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
    <b:skin><![CDATA[/*

    <title>Your title</title>
    <META CONTENT='your keyword.' NAME='Keywords'></META>
    <META CONTENT='your description ' NAME='Description'></META>
