You guys are probably all spinning your wheels with the debate about how many keywords to use in the keywords meta tag.

I've been doing SEO work since 1997 and no major search engine has used the...

IMHO, the major search engines are not likely to ever to use the keywords meta tag again, primarily due to the widespread abuse of this tag in the 1990s. People used to stuff literally hundreds of...

A general rule for the keywords meta tag is to never use words that do not appear on the page.

None of the major search engines have used the keywords meta tag since the 1990s.

Google recently went on a vendetta to penalize sites that are selling links. That means that links from these site have been devalued, which has taken a toll on sites that used directories and other...

If it's a new site, you are probably stuck in the Google Sandbox. A site that is Sandboxed will show up using the "site" query, as pointed out by Avi, but it will not rank well for any competitive...
