Keywords are descriptive words or phrases that are separated by commas and attached to the web pages. While, descriptive words and phrases attached to the web pages, invisible to the visitors are known as meta tags and consist of description, keywords and title.

        Meta tags were originally used in the <HEAD>tag of an HTML document to help search engines find your site.Within a META tag,you can define two variables:description and keywords.
        While Meta keywords are a list of terms,separated by commas that highlight important information in your page.

A special HTML tag that provides information about a Web page. Unlike normal HTML tags, meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed. Instead, they provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page is about, and which keywords represent the page's content. Many search engines use this information when building their indices.

A command inserted in a document that specifies how the document, or a portion of the document, should be formatted. Tags are used by all format specifications that store documents as text files. This includes SGML and HTML.

meta tags are for search engine, visitors don't see them. When you use right meta tags with appropriate keywords, Google increases your position in list.

The title tag is very important for seo, this is where you place your keywords that google will index and every time a query is made using one of your keywords your website should be somewhere in the search results, could be page 1, could be page 1000 - it all depends on how relevant your website is to those keywords through onsite and offsite seo - content is king. (title tag is the blue link for each search result)

Meta description (the description under the blue link for each search result) is also important as it helps to pull visitors in, I dont think keywords in meta description will effect your search engine ranking position but I could be wrong its all down to Googles algorithm, which only Google knows.

In a nutshell, if you want your website's keywords to do well in Google 1. Title Tag 2. Relevant Content 3. Powerful Anchor text links

keywords are the words that are visible on the page which you can see by using some browser add on e.t.c ..it means that the specific website is targeting for that specific word to rank ...meta tags are the words that are hidden inside the coding of the site..visible to the search engines

Hi

I think meta keyword and tags are little different from each other. Meta keyword contains lots of different different keyword like seo,sem,smo,ppc e.t.c related to 1 subject or theme where as meta tags consist of meta TITLE, Meta keyword, Meta description. We can use 60 character in Meta TITLE, 160 character in Meta description and 250 character in Meta Keyword.

Meta tags are HTML tags that provide information about a web page to web crawlers/programs that visit your website. They are not visible to normal human visitors. They take a variety of forms and serve a variety of purposes, but in the context of search engine optimization when people refer to Meta tags, they are usually referring to the Meta description tag and the Meta keywords tag.
