    It's kind of true.
    Search engines do use meta tags when they index sites but they also use a variety of other methods for figuring out what your site is about and how important it is (e.g. how many sites link directly to your site and how important are they?)

    So it's no harm to put in some meta keywords, read up on it here:

    This belongs in the webmaster forum really.
