Meta tags were originally designed to provide webmasters with a way to help search engines know what their site was about. But the present scenario of growing competition, webmasters started manipulating this tool through spamming of keywords. Due to this search engine creators placed less importance on them. Thus meta keywords tag and meta description tags are not the main factor for search engines to consider when ranking sites. But it is advisable not be left off the page.

Also, Google Adwords has a keyword tool which tells you the number of global searches for a particular keyword per month. If competition is smart, then they are using this just like we are. If not, I just made them smarter by telling them.
