Hello everyone,
Over the past week, I've read several articles and have read several responses that the keyword tag can help you in some search engines (such as ask.com and yahoo.com) and can hurt you in some search engines (such as bing). Would anyone happen to have any insight to this?
Thanks

Personally, I don't think it will hurt your ranking. You still need those meta tags if you want to used google bots and other things.
