Not nearly as important as they once were, Keywords are the sort of phrases that I’d expect someone to type into a search engine to find this web site. You can probably leave this out these days, but I'd put a few in as it can’t hurt. The fact is that, now, the spiders can work out for themselves what keywords are relevant to your page text so the meta keywords code is somewhat obsolete.

So, meta tags are just about obsolete in terms of Search Engine Optimization. But consider these three points:

Write high quality description tags designed to get a user to click on your link, yet is still relevant to the topic of the page
Make them unique per page.
Don't spam your meta tags. It won't work and you'll just get in trouble because of it.
