Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking
Here is a video from Matt Cutt’s discussing Meta Tags.
In brief, keyword meta tags are not used by Google for Search Ranking — <meta name=”Keywords” content=”not used by google” />
However Google still use the description meta tag – <meta name=”description” content=”keep using meta descriptions ” />
[...] Google ignores keywords placed in the meta tag – see Matt Cutt’s Google video with an explanation “Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking” [...]
