    Yes, I see the snippets used.

    Yahoo uses meta tags though, no?

    Yes Yahoo does use tag .. its such a small percentage, but it does. Google does as well as I have run text for unique keywords that I placed only int he Meta Keywords tag and was able to rank for that term. Now that is not to say it is a factor in the algo, but do they read it .. .yes

    I was under the impression that META KEYWORDS hasn’t been used by Google in ages.

    I haven’t used this tag for several years.

    They don’t use them like they used to, but I make sure I fill them out for every page. If for nothing else, it reminds me what keywords I am trying to rank that page for, so if I later make changes, I can use those keywords in the places where it matters; content, description, alt tags etc.

    it improves the description of your page content and if google and yahoo do not bother much other search engines do, but do not overdo.
