Missing meta tags

[nhall]

Are there any robots that read/use meta tags with the keyword attribute? I know it was believed that Google used them for ranking but they have since said they don't put any weight in them.

Meta tag with keyword attribute was used by bing and other search engines to recognize spam pages. This method is not used anymore, so tag with keyword attribute is useless.

I don't want keywords for spam. Lol. :p

They're there for the better search.

They're useless for better search, just take a look at html code of github.com...

[zlatanvasovic]

I don't think that we should compare GitHub site and some other small site
(like this one).

Let the @mdo decide. :p

The keywords meta tag does not help your web ranking at all.

"About a decade ago, search engines judged pages only on the content of web pages, not any so-called "off-page" factors such as the links pointing to a web page. In those days, keyword meta tags quickly became an area where someone could stuff often-irrelevant keywords without typical visitors ever seeing those keywords. Because the keywords meta tag was so often abused, many years ago Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag."

Meh, if a PR is opened to add some of these, I'll consider it. Otherwise, not worth my time too much :).

[zlatanvasovic]

No probs.
