it's amazing the excellent presents we get every day from people that follow the type of advice given out by self-appointed SE experts - all of those sites that don't use the metas are just pushing me higher and higher - and I'm taking it to the bank.
As a side not for those that don't know this - a little tip - Yahoo started using the keyword meta again in their ranking scheme - actually happened last year but most people kinda ignored it - but definitely makes a huge difference
