Which search engines still use Meta Keywords?

[jhinchcliffe]

I know Google doesn't use meta keywords in meta tags, but i was wondering if there are other smaller search engines that still do? Id it worth it to add meta keywords for them?

I think it can be worth it if you can generate them automatically. I don't know of any search engines that use them, but a lot of directories and social sites will pull that information when you submit your site to them.

If the search engines are using it, it's as a spam signal - I'd recommend staying away from it, and usually tell my clients to leave it blank and have them remove keywords tags that are stuffed and could seem to be a spam indicator - see this article on Search Engine Land

Awesome article! Thank you!

Do you have an examples of some directories or social sites that actually use them, Takeshi? I've never been able to find any to use as examples.

Me neither, some examples would be great
