Here is a video from an Software Engineer by the name of Matt Cutts that works for Google giving his explanation as to the value of meta keywords and the role they play in helping you beat the competition for the first spot in Google search results: If you don't understand some of the things he is talking about that is okay.

In his article from www.SearchEngineLand.com, Adam Audette said, "We are reaching a point in SEO where established ideas are no longer good enough (this is magnified at the enterprise level, where the stakes are high). It’s always been moving that way, of course, but today there is such an extreme level of competition that we will soon see the men separated from the boys, as it were, in the search engine result pages (SERPs). (Sorry ladies, you’re awesome too! It’s just a saying.) This is a natural evolution for search marketing: you can get away with being sub-par for awhile, but sooner or later, you’ll fall off the back."The truth is, in order to show up on the first page of search results on keywords that have a lot of other websites competing for a first page rank, you have to do more than the basic "SEO Best Practices" that Adam calls "bunk."TO EVERY RULE THERE IS AN EXCEPTION!However, for local search, it is still very easy to show up on the first page of search results with not much more than just "bunk seo."Here are two sites to prove it:www.StonesFamilyDental.com and www.StarrStudiosSalem.com.  ....

The audience measurement firm estimates that Google sites notched up a total of 76.7 billion searches during the month of July 2009, an increase of 58 percent over July 2008. Google's search product therefore continues to govern the global search landscape, accounting for over 67 percent of all queries worldwide, comScore suggests."I guess the point here that I want to make is that if you are choosing between Google, Yahoo, and MSN to start your advertising, why wouldn't you start with Google?  Google dominates!Get Found First dominates at getting you on the first page of Google.  ....
