Should I completly remove the meta tags keywords in the html page?

So if the metag is not longer used by the search engines should I keep them in my html ?

Personally, I don't add meta keywords any more.  But, if I had a site that contained them I wouldn't go to the trouble of removing them.

I am all for clean code, so yes, if you have the time, remove them. With that said, this is last against all other SEO work.

I'd leave them in, however I'd want to make sure you don't have more than 10 or 12. I'd also add some misspellings for important keywords as Bing 'used to' use the keywords meta tag data for misspellings. Having said this, I agree with Richard Getz's response in that it should be the very last thing to deal with. Both Google and Bing have clearly said they don't use the keyword meta tag data for search anymore... however, it wouldn't hurt to leave them in on the premise they might be using them for some other signal (you never know). The one downside is that you might be making it easier for competitors to know about the keywords you're focusing on.
