Hi, I've been reading alot lately that the keyword meta tag is now somewhat useless, as most (except 1 major) search engines are no longer using them as criteria for page ranking because of the past abuse by unethical webmasters.

I was wondering if anyone has excluded this tag from their sites & if so, have you noticed any changes in your page rankings?

I've got a site that's over 300 pages & it's always done very well with Google - I add a new page & it's in top Google results within a week. I do use keywords but I've always been really bad & editing & changing them when I add new pages. I've started removing them from this site & really trimming down my meta tags.

Any thots on this?
