    Where can I find out what information you use to rank (other than content of course)? And where can I find info on stuff like robot.text, which you mention so often?

    Hi oneeyedgeek,

    You can find plenty of information at the site shown at the end of the video. There you'll find links to our blog, help center, and even a discussion forum where you can ask more questions.

    - Wysz, Google Webmaster Central

    wow, I didn't know the keyword tag wasn't used... so I'm guessing I should be focusing on the meta-description tag then to convey the content of my sites?

    Forget about meta-description. User will not see it and Google does not care about it. Focus on title and content.

    I just watched this video, though knew about the "Meta Keyword" tag was no longer in use. What I found really interesting and perhaps it was a signal to us guys out here in the real world and not the Google search engine world was the wearing of the Panda T-Shirt that Matt was wearing in the video there? Was that a massive hint that we all missed? LOL I doubt it just my thinking more like... :)

    Hello. Does anybody know if by adding the keywords meta tag in a landing page for an adwords campaign, the quality score of the keywords improves? Should we use meta tags on our landing page?
