Hi There,
I am just a newbie (sorry lol) This may be a dumb question but I want to add keywords to my website through metatags. I have built 2 sites now and I am using the wp-amazillionaire theme. I can't figure out how to optimize through metatags. Anyone have any idea? Thanks a billion

    keyword meta tags are pretty much a waste of time,

    but if you still want to then get the all-in-one seo plugin for WP

    This may help you out, the meta description is much more important than the meta keywords since the majority of search engines don't use them: Meta tags - Webmaster Tools Help

    The normal meta tags for Keywords is: meta keyword
    but you can use alot of great plugins for wordpress. Just search for SEO plugins.

    This is the meta codes for keyword and description
    <meta name="keywords" content="Put keywords here"/>
    <meta name="description" content="Put description here"/>

      You're assuming people here can code....

      Anyway, forget meta description and keywords. They are not used for
      rankings. If google needs a meta tag description to figure out what
      your site is about, use it. But that would mean a visitor would have
      no clue on landing what your site is about either. So, don't rely
      on a meta description. Too many people spam the heck out of that,
      and google ignores it.

      Why would one need to write the same title, then repeat it in
      the meta description? That's insane. As insane as stuffing
      it with sentences full of keywords.

      There's hardly any search "engines" but google that matter.
      And that one is not that stupid to be doing much different when it
      comes to meta tags like that.

      In many searches, google comes up with their own snippet depending
      on what is searched for.
