Where are keywords more important?

    If I have keywords in meta-tags and domain, do I rank better in google than these sites who have them only in content?
    I was checking some very profitable niche, and none of the sites in competition have keywords in meta tags...:D

    The keyword meta tag is a complete irrelevance. Google hasn't used it for years - here's a piece on the subject form Google's official blog. - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html
    As the url gets truncated I'll repost the end bit with the post title -
    google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html

    'nuff said.

    And the description has no effect on serps - it's used for your snippet. Domain name, url, page title, content, navigation, hyperlinks, headings, alt tags are all more important places for keywords
