The old days are gone when people used to trick search engines by repeating key words in a meaningless way to over represent their content.

Meta keyword tags are now lesser relied upon by the search engines to validate keyword content. They consider page content, keyword tags and objective site links for the optimization of search.

Though keyword tags are comparatively lesser influential now, their importance in search optimization is still intact. It is useful to include Meta keyword tags with all sorts of optimization techniques.

One should ensure that keywords used in Meta statements should appear in the content of the page or site. This lends consistency to the keyword tags and site content.

Keywords should be used in title, description and also in the body of the web page; all of which fall under Meta categories.

Repetition of words in meaningless way must be avoided as it irritates the reader and reduces the effect of your content. It is better not to repeat a term twice in a row in any form.

Though use of keyword tags by itself may not raise the search engine rankings substantially, it makes the content appealing and raises standing of your site.
