Hi!

Now a days, I am seeing this trend of having no keywords at all on many website. These website prefer getting ranking through quality content and limited usage of keywords. So, how much importance or relevance have remained for using this tag at all of if any?

Thank You.

I think for now, meta keywords its still dominant to give your idea, how to optimize your site and other factor for increase the website performance. Using the right meta keywords, I think its should be do when you will be getting good result.

Now Google does not count meta keywords for ranking so many webmasters are not including it on webpages.However, it is good to add meta keywords to get rank in other search engines like Yahoo and Bing.

Yes, you are right- Google does not count meta keywords, But some search engine accept meta keywords.

google does not count meta keywords, though i'm not sure about other search engines.  i'd have to believe that most will follow google's example though, it's just too easy to spam and makes the SE algorithms more complicated to try and determine if meta keywords actually match content on the site.
