SEO Reference Guide
Keywords Tag
The keywords tag (also called the Meta keywords tag) is no longer an important component of search engine optimization and does not display with your listing in search engines results.
Even though most popular search engines don't display the contents of your keywords tag in search results, you can use the tag for informational purposes. Plus, it can't hurt to include the tag for the few directories or search engines that might use the information.
Your keywords tag should contain a list of keywords and short phrases (separated by commas) that describe what the page is about. It's best to keep the list to 10 or fewer keywords and phrases, with your phrases containing less than six words.
