Are Keyword Meta Tags Dead 2010
We’re well into 2010 and people are still talking abut meta tags and what they have done to there site. Incase you didn’t know meta keywords tags are no longer needed for google but do still play a apart in the other search engines. Google uses different factors to determine where a site should rank and what keywords that site uses, it now has no need for meta tags as it has advanced its algorithm making meta tags redundant.
Even though google doesn’t use the keyword meta tag it still uses the description tag and I suggest actually adding both to your website, i.e the meta description for googles purposes and then the meta keyword tag for the other search engines. Even though googles look for your meta description tag it doesn’t mean it will use it, if it can pull a more relevant snippet from your pages content then it will do so but if it finds your description suitable then it will use that.
So to conclude google doesn’t use the meta keyword tag but its still worth using as other search engines still look for it, the tag that you should focus on for google purposes is the meta description as google still looks for it and uses the information it finds.
