Keywords meta tag is no longer used by search engines
Hopefully a quick question for you all. The keywords meta tag is no longer used by search engines but many still add keywords to it for site management purposes (so the editors of the site know what keywords each page is trying to target so they are aware when editing / writing content). My question is - do the search engines penalise you for this as its widely known that the tag is no longer used ie they see you as a spammer or do they simply ignore the tag and its contents so it has no effect - positive or negative.
