Keyword metatag
This article dating back to 2002 (that’s correct 2002!) is just one of a plethora of articles and controlled SEO experiments that have shown the keyword metatag has no affect on Google.
Unfortunately some folks just don’t get it.
Perhaps its because the tag’s name suggest that’s what it does and its just too damn temping to ignore it.
If you’re paying for SEO services and they are getting stuck into your keywords metatag you’d be better off looking elsewhere for your SEO services.
There, Ive said. I feel better now.
