Google doesn’t use the keywords meta tag in web search

Hi All,

I just read a blog post of Matt Cuts and here he is explaining about that Google is not giving priority to the meta keywords tags. I am mentioning the matt cuts blog post below:

"We went ahead and did this post on the official Google webmaster blog to make it super official, but I wanted to echo the point here as well: Google does not use the keywords meta tag in our web search.

To this day, you still see courts mistakenly believe that meta tags occupy a pivotal role in search rankings. We wanted to debunk that misconception, at least as it regards to Google. Google uses over two hundred signals in our web search rankings, but the keywords meta tag is not currently one of them, and I don’t believe it will be."

I agree but despite what Matt Cutts says, I think Google do look at your keywords meta tags. For example, if you have keywords you want to rank for in your meta tags in your sitemap; eg. "keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, keyword4, keyword5,... , keyword10' - then you won't get much love from Google.
