Recently we received some questions about how Google uses (or more
accurately, doesn't use) the "keywords" meta tag in ranking web search
results. Suppose you have two website owners, Alice and Bob. Alice runs
a company called AliceCo and Bob runs BobCo. One day while looking at
Bob's site, Alice notices that Bob has copied some of the words that
she uses in her "keywords" meta tag. Even more interesting, Bob has
added the words "AliceCo" to his "keywords" meta tag. Should Alice be
concerned?
At least for Google's web search
results currently (September 2009), the answer is no. Google doesn't
use the "keywords" meta tag in our web search ranking. This video
explains more, or see the questions below.
