“Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking”

Because the keywords meta tag was so often abused, many years ago Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag. […] Even though we sometimes use the description meta tag for the snippets we show, we still don’t use the description meta tag in our ranking.

Webmasters have known this for a while, but it’s so nice to finally have an official article, from Google, explaining to my clients that they don’t need to insist on carefully managing their meta keywords. Could we have more blog posts like that, please?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
