Does Google use the keyword meta tags? Why?

[Kaviraj pharma]

No, Google does not use the keyword meta tags in web search rankings. Google ignores the meta tags keyword because it is an area where someone could stuff often irrelevant keywords without typical visitors ever seeing those keywords. Keywords meta tags were often misused. Hence, Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag.

No, Google doesn’t use keyword meta tags for search rankings. This is because they were often misused in the past, with people stuffing them full of irrelevant or spammy keywords to manipulate search results. Since these tags aren’t visible to users, it became an easy way to trick the system. To ensure fair and relevant search rankings, Google decided to ignore the keyword meta tags altogether. Instead, Google focuses on the actual content of your webpage, how it provides value to users, and other factors like backlinks and user experience. So, quality content always wins over shortcuts like keyword stuffing.
