FreddieZed,
Leave that tag just as it is, it's not the right one. You need a tag like this:
<META NAME="keywords" content="keyword,keyword,keyword,etc">
Here is my home page's as an example:
<META NAME="keywords" content="Perth,Scotland,Perth pub guide,what's on,eating out,tourist guide,history of the Fair City">
A key"word" can actually be a phrase such as "rare history books" and it is really better to use phrases rather than just list single words.
You also must include your chosen keywords/phrases in your Title tag (very important) and in the body copy of your page otherwise you won't benefit.
Also add (if you don't have one already) a Meta Description tag: (example)
<META NAME="description" content="The Real Perth guide to Perth, Scotland with what's on, Perth pub guide, history of the Fair City, tourist guide, eating out and more!">
One or two sentences (preferably with your keywords)that succinctly describe the content of your site. This tag is used by some engines and would be displayed on the results page of a search.
Ideally, you could post here the URL of the site you are trying to optimize so we can take a look and give some targetted advice.
The main thing I want to stress is add plenty of good copy to a page including your keywords, and the Title tag is very important. The Meta Keywords and Description are not the magic answer to high rankings. Joe Bananas
