gaurav bhatiaIn Conclusion
Overall, just remember this. Of all the meta tags you may see out there:
*
Meta Robots: This tag enjoys full support, but you only need it if you DO NOT want your pages indexed.
*
Meta Description: This tag enjoys much support, and it is well worth using.
*
Meta Keywords: This tag is only supported by some major crawlers and probably isn't worth the time to implement.
*
Meta Everything Else: Any other meta tag you see is ignored by the major crawlers, though they may be used by specialized search engines. -

Add Sticky NoteWell, for most major crawlers, it doesn't. That's because most crawlers now ignore the tag. The few supporting it can be found on the Search Engine Features page).

Add Sticky Note
Here's another example. Let's say you have a page about horseback riding, and you've written your page using "horseback" as a single word. You realize that some people may instead search for "horse back riding," with "horse back" in their searches being two separate words. If you listed these words separately in your meta keywords tag, THEN MAYBE FOR THE FEW CRAWLERS THAT SUPPORT IT, your page might rank better for "horse back" riding. Sadly, the best way to ensure this would be to write your pages using both "horseback riding" and "horse back riding" in the text -- or perhaps on some of your pages, use the single word version and on others, the two word version.
I'm using all these capital letters on purpose. Far too many people new to search engine optimization obsess with the meta keywords tag. FEW crawlers support it. For those that do, it MIGHT! MAYBE! PERHAPS! POSSIBLY! BUT WITH NO GUARANTEE! help improve the ranking of your page. It also may very well do nothing for your page at all. In fact, repeat a particular word too often in a meta keywords tag and you could actually harm your page's chances of ranking well. Because of this, I strongly suggest that those new to search engine optimization not even worry about the tag at all.
