Q : Why doesn't Google use the keywords meta tag ? A : 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.
