Importance (or lack of) Meta keywords tags and Tags in Drupal

[Optimal_Strategies]

I'm wondering should I put any effort in making Meta Keywords tags for my pages or normal Tags (they're separate in Drupal), since apparently first are not considered by most of search engines, while not sure about normal tags.

Obviously SERPS has to determine partial valu of the page by content, thus consider keywords / tags to some extend. What's your opinion on that.

Thank you.

Meta keywords are not used by Google any more. Not for a decade - by the way!

If you fill out your Meta keywords tag for all your pages, anyone with an SEO crawler (like Screaming Frog) can effectively 'steal' all your keyword research. I'd say just don't fill out Meta keywords to be honest. At best it's a waste of time, at worst it's free research for all your competitors
