Matt Cutts, Head of Google's Web spam Team explains why Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web rankings.
This Meta tag provides a list of words or phrases about the contents of the Web page. This tag provides some additional text for crawler-based search engines. However because of frequent attempts to abuse their system, most search engines ignore this tag.
None of the major crawler-based search engines provide support for this Meta tag!
Similar to the Meta Description tag, there is a limit in the number of captured characters within the Keywords Meta tag. Keep the tag to between 4 and 8 keywords or keyword phrases, to separate the different keywords and keyword phases simply place a comma between the terms.
For the search engines that may still take this tag into consideration when determining rankings, move the most important keywords to the beginning to increase their prominence, make sure that the keywords appear at least once in your page content and avoid repetitions to avoid spam penalties.
