      पहले कीवर्ड के आधार पर ही सर्च इंजन काम करते थे लेकिन अब कीवर्ड वो खुद आपकी पोस्ट पढ़कर क्राल करते हैं, इसलिए अब इनकी कोई आवश्यकता नहीं रह गयी है। यदि फिर भी प्रयोग की इच्छा हो तो 10 कीवर्ड तक ही रखो।

          @वरूण, ये बहुत ही पुराना मेटा टैग फ़ार्मेट है जिसका उपयोग रिसर्च जनर्ल्स द्वारा किया जाता है, ये ब्लॉगरों के लिए नहीं है। Blogger पर पहले से ही Schema.org का मेटाडेटा होता है इसलिए अतिरिक्त मेटा इंफ़ार्मेशन ही आवश्यकता कम होती है।
