Hey guys, I had paid an SEO guy to optimize my site and suggest the best kw's. I have a Wordpress site which has two fields in the Admin "Focus" kw and "Meta Keywords", what's the main difference between those 2 kw's and fields please?
#keywords #meta

    The main difference is that one is slightly more useless than the other one.

    You can ignore them both.

    I always add meta kw's not sure if they are really effective

    According to Google....Meta Keywords are useless by this time so you don't have to think about this. Focus on meta description, and focus keyword.

      Keywords still matter, but meta keywords are completely useless. Don't bother with them since they just add more useless stuff to your html code. The cleaner the better.

    Please focus on your "Main Keywords". And then, please mention 1% density on "Meta Description".

    for a google meta keyword is not as important but for other site like yahoo and bing it has got importance and keyword is the tool to get more and more hits to your site. Keywork is really important

    Just focus on meta title and description because meta keywords are useless for google.

      At one time meta key words where used to help with Google antilog but, over time people started to abuse this and they stopped using the meta keys words. Now you need to focus on meta description and your title this will helps with convincing the searcher your the place they have been looking for. But, it will not help with your Google rank.

    As mentioned, don't worry about them too much. A lot of the "must haves" with regards to On Page factors are no where near as relevant now as they were 5+ years ago.
