Is Meta Keyword Still Important?

I had no idea that meta keywords still were a ranking signal for other searchengines. Ah, one should have been in the game 10 years ago - the golden age of spamming. :)
 
Yahoo and Bing follow them at high signal where as Google does at low or negligible.
So you can say it is still important.
 
"Yahoo and Bing follow them at high signal"

It's not true as far as I know.

Recently I deleted my keywords and the rankings remained the same in both Bing and Yahoo.
Now I never use keywords, so my answer is: No, don't use keywords, they are useless.

EDIT: I mean META keywords, not keywords. ;)
 
I used Yoast SEO but i see its not work for meta keyword. I put my keyword & check but its showing meta keyword is empty. After that i checked with 3-4 all the results were same.

After that, I am using All In One SEO. Then I checked & its working.
 
Yes it is useful somehow,it wont destroy your site anyway so use it.
 
Its definitely no important, but only for google it is important for other search engines like yahoo, bing, and small search robots. So if you want to get good ranks only in google then remove the Meta keyword
 
Meta Keywords are not given importance now . Almost all search engines does not weigh this factor
