“Too many people have spammed that too much, we don’t use that at all.” – Matt Cutts

Meta Description Tags are used for snippets for your articles in the search results. A good SEO plugin will be helpful filling out the Meta Description and Name. However the keyword tags are mostly used only for bringing back search results within your website.

So if you have been cramming as many keywords into every article you write, then It’s time to rethink you strategy. Try to use helpful tags, that will let users find similar content instead of keyword spamming.
