I have been doing meta keywords on my site for some time now, but I am worrying that I may have done them wrong.
Can anyone show me the exact syntax for meta keywords?
E.g. 1
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,keyword3" />
E.g. 2
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3" />
E.g. 3
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 with phrase, keyword2 with phrase, keyword3, website design, keyword4, web development" />

E.g. 1
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,keyword3" />
E.g. 2
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3" />
E.g. 3
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 with phrase, keyword2 with Either of example number 1 or number two would suffice. There really isn't any evidence to my knowledge whether or not 'white spaces' between comma and next word, or no white-space, -makes any difference. But example number 3 is actually somewhat incorrect. You want name="description" and content="a simple plain-language description of what this web page is about. One or two sentences should be enough" "keywords" can be 'more than one word', by the way, so in a keyword="" statement, you could say things like "sun and beach, watercraft and recreation, weekends and vacation, by the sea, and etc. But if your site is about say, -renting watercraft by the sea to vacationers, your description="" META should say so in content="", a natural speech pattern like "We rent small boats and watercraft to vacationers and weekend warriors wanting to explore the edge of the sea"
Meta tags are over-rated these days... except for title and description, some search engines don't even bother with them. They prefer to crawl your content and links as that is a better indicator of your site, as META data can be 'forged' (made to lure with other terms no related to site).
