Google Does Not Use Meta Keywords for Site Ranking

Particularly when many have started stuffing the keywords meta tag with irrelevant keywords even if the site does not really contain any information relating to those keywords.

The good news is that the other meta tags are not as unuseful as the keywords meta tags. The “description” meta tags for instance is being used by Google in displaying search results snippets for websites that are displayed on Google SERPs.
