        Jack, Google ignores the keyword meta tag completely, and doesn't pay much attention to the meta description tag for ranking or relevancy purposes.

        This blog has a lot of good info on how to optimize a page for your keywords: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization

        • How come when I create a keyword list, the volume of that keyword per month is not displayed? It is only displayed once the keyword is selected.
