I find it quite stupid that some SEO softwares offers META keyword generator within their software features. It seems quite stupid and pointless if you want to get top ranked in the major search engines such as google, yahoo, live, ask, etc… Once again meta keywords are not search engine optimisation!

The reason being is that they do not read the meta keywords at all as they do not like to be dictated what the content of the page is holding. The only thing they mostly care about is the meta description so that they have something relevant to display underneath the title of your page on their search page. Then yet some of them do not include them even if you persist on the meta description. The rest of the meta is just BS for the search engine.

The only search engine that uses meta are meta search engines and they are not as accurate as google’s, yahoo’s or msn’s one. But nevertheless that it is not as useful to popular SEO it still seems that you could get some users out of it.

But I keep my stand that meta keywords are not SEO but more of a optional practice for beginners.
