Using keyword meta tag or not ?

Using keyword meta tag or not ?
Which method do you think is better ?
I use keyword meta tag for my blog but it is less SEO affect than my friend 's blog. He didn't use keyword meta tag
So I guess I just leave this to search engine, they will crawl and determine keyword by themself

Meta tag keyword is being checked by google it isn't completely ignored thing.

If you want to see the proof then go in your google webmaster account and see the Diagnostics tab and you will find the number of pages that have missing meta tags.

If you look at the content analysis section of Google Webmasters Central you'll see it "doesn't" have a section for meta keywords; major search engines haven't used the keywords meta tag for quite a while now. This is due to the easy abuse factor and past abuse of it. You can test this theory by placing an odd keyword in your meta keywords then use the "What GoogleBot Sees" in GWC and that keyword will "never" show up.

Google bot doesn't sees the meta tags as content. So why would it be listed in content analysis

What I am trying to say is don't ignore them, Use them for your benefit.

then why a page didn't use keyword meta is indexed better the one use meta

There are more factors friend.

Backlinks, Age, Content itself. etc. etc. etc. etc.

 

[weblord]

a lot of factors look at domain age as well and the relevancy/uniqueness of the content as one of those many factors.

then why a page didn't use keyword meta is indexed better the one use meta

I think google and many other SEs no longer use keyword meta tag any more. The only tags that are important are the title and description tags. I have no keyword meta tag in any of my sites, and I never saw any thing in google webmaster tools saying some thing about the it.

Yeah Meta description tag still has a great role in the SEO of your page. This tag displays the information at a search engine result page (SERP) after a search is performed by a user.

Metatags were discovered to place there keywords, so no doubt that is the right place for keywords.

Very good point... They have some relevancy but not much for Google. However, they are still used by other SE's.
