As for the Keyword tag, I think most SEO copywriters can easily find the KW phrases in the copy, so I don’t worry about the competition either.

I focus on writing relevant copy for the readers.

Hi, Dave!

Thanks for your comment. :)

When I’m training writers, I do say that you can easily skip the keywords tag…it’s best practices, but you’re right, it doesn’t really influence SEO. Having said that, I don’t worry too much about the competition seeing my keywords – I figured that there are so many things that go into a campaign (including some kick-butt writing!), that it’s not a big deal.

I’d love to hear what other people think…

Random thoughts…

IMO: While the Keywords META tag may be best practice according to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), what influence have they ever had over search engine practice? Based on results, they are inconsequential in that realm.

The keywords tag also gives away valuable information to your competition. Sure, they can probably figure out what phrases you’re optimizing for but why make it easy? :)
