Google and the Keyword Meta-tag Myth
Posted by Mike Owen in Tips & Myths Debunked Monday, 21 September 2009 22:52 No Comments
I have been telling clients and others for several years now that Google Does Not use the Keyword Meta-tag. Most of the time my proclamations have been met with scorn, disbelief and amusement. 
Google themselves have repeatedly said as much, but always in pretty obscure postings, or at SEO conferences. Well, today they finally posted a public statement on the Webmaster Central Blog what I already knew, and people have argued and debated for years. Google Does Not include the keyword tag in it’s ranking of websites.
