Keywords in meta data?

Hang on I thought it was generally accepted that google doesn't pay much 
attention to this any more?

Ohh keywords in meta data AND content, well that makes a huge difference then.

*Really beginning to wonder if this SEO thing is really nothing more than 
hit or miss "best practices" devised by people who think they've figured 
out a way to gyp the system, albeit temporarily*

Ok, but how common a search term is that? What is an "artist kdd" anyways? 
How's your ranking going if I search for just "kdd" alone? Methinks it 
would be a bit tougher to get a term like "investment newsletter" to number 
one, or even onto the first page.
