Mixed messages in most forums, all i know is that if done correctly, which i have done on my own sites, it has made a difference. Not a massive difference, but still worthwhile IMO.

The best way is post more articles with basic seo instead of good seo articles. There is a lot of chance then doing meta, etc

Many experts think that Meta Keywords are redundant now, but other SEO guru's disagree.
Are useful or not??
Usually, more than 4 types of Meta tags are out there. Today, some are not worth as once they were, especially the Meta keywords tag.
Meta Keywords tag is totally a worthless tag that is no longer used by most search engines, as it was a way abused by spammers in the past.
Other tags, in particular, the title tag, Meta robots tag, and Meta description tag are useful for increasing your traffic.

I think that Google no longer uses meta keyword tags as a SEO ranking factor.

tbh i use keywords meta tag cuz they are pickable from GSA.
what else, other search engines still pay attention for meta keywords= they rank u higher
what else, a lot of other kind of crawlers like these from ahrefs/majestic or whatever will use search engines like bing or yahoo. obviously they will discover u first if your page is closer to top 1.
now this is nice because that counts as actual backlink! and google sees that
apart from that, putting keywords in meta keyword tag also is crawlable by google bots. Maybe it doesnt have any influence directly, however the ratio of keywords to code is bigger.
page text to code ratio is important factor. i believe this includeds stuff in <head>.

It's something that's worth doing simply because it only takes a couple minutes. Just don't make them look spammy or over optimized. In my personal experience though, they're not something you need in order to rank. Most of the sites on page one for my current project don't have them. Title and Description are still important. Description more than Title imo.
