    Are your facts straight? I am not trying to be a jerk, but I don’t see how this makes total sense!

    Hey Matthew:

    I just checked the link; it’s all there on Google’s blog. However, see my other post on “Yahoo still supports Meta Keyword tag”, based on an article from SearchEngineLand. The message is you should keep the meta-tags in play because you never really know who is or isn’t using them at any given time.
