Search Engine Optimization And Meta Keywords Tag

Long ago in Internet time, the meta keywords tag was very useful in helping pages to win on search engines. Unfortunately, so many unscrupulous webmasters have abused the meta keywords tag that search engines have had to de-emphasize their importance. Still, you should not leave the meta keywords tag off your pages. 

Meta keywords tags should adhere to the following guidelines: 

1. Keep your list of keywords or keyword phrases down to 10 – 15 unique words or phrases.
2. Separate the words or phrases using a comma (you do not need to leave a space between words separated by commas).
3. Do not repeat words or phrases.
4. Put your most important word or phrases at the beginning of your list.
