Hi peeps,

Just wondering if you still use meta keywords in your web designs. I doubt that any search engines really grant any merit anymore but I still leave them in since I don't think they affect your rankings either way. However I could be wrong. Could meta keywords work against you. Maybe google or others penalize you for keyword stuffing or something. So do you have them in your site on not? If not do you think it has affected your rankings at all on google, yahoo, msn?
