Time is of the essence.
I'm trying to solve a dispute:
Are meta tags really so dead and unimportant to SEO these days that the keywords can be totally forgotten and not included?
I'm reading an article that says as much, and pretty much says the same thing for the description tag.
What do you all know of this?
Much thanks!

from what i understand keywords ie. meta tags, alt tags, live text, etc. are still important but links from other sites and hits are just as important or even more so. i wouldn't base your opinion on just one article.

it is my understanding that MSN and some others use the description tag when displaying results.
i have read in multiple places that the keyword tag is essentially useless.
take it with a grain of salt.

Why not juse use them? Better safe than sorry, or rather it can only help.
Just try and do your best to make them relevant for each given page.
The goal isn't so much to get your site ranked #1.. it's to get a page(s) ranked number one. You've got to focus keywords towards particular pages.
