Hi,

My  sister asked me a similar question a couple of weeks ago. Keywords are
irrelevant  and will only affect people who decide to view the page source
or  Web  sites whose role is to collect this data and provide some  public
information  about your site (few of these exist). As an alternative, con-
sider  having  "<b>keyword:</b>", followed by a succinct,  comma-separated
description  of the content. This /might/ help, but search engines  prefer
to judge for themselves nonetheless.

The  case  where  many keywords are stuffed into the  meta  and  projected
through other Web sites could (just /could/) lead to relevance through an-
chor  text  (or word proximity rather). Crawlers ignore the keyword  meta,
which  is unreliable as it can be misused. It is often a greedy  spam-like
description that contains repetitions and thus poorly reflects on the page
context -- that which is viewable to the reader.

That  last  analogy is reminiscent of the case where JavaScript  redirects
are  exploited to create doorway pages -- a false reflection of site  con-
tent  that is aimed purely at search engined optimisation and good  place-
ment in search results.


Hope it helps,

Roy
