[thelist] [fwd] meta keywords

[sfmalo]

Ranking aside, I think they count a lot for users trying to find sites based
on their typing in keywords/keyword phrases. How else are they going to find
you on a search engine?

As for number of keywords/keyword phrases, I was told a long time ago by a
person at Submit It that 20 words was the max for this meta tag.

Any thoughts ... other ideas?
