		<description>I have recently been working with a client that enjoyed this post but ask me about the position that Yahoo! has on the Meta Keyword tag and whether they are using it for search engine rankings.&#160; I found this on search engine land and it shows Yahoo! no longer supports it either.&#160; &lt;a href=&quot;http://searchengineland.com/yahoo-search-no-longer-uses-meta-keywords-tag-27303&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://searchengineland.com/yahoo-search-no-longer-uses-meta-keywords-tag-27303&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Jay, Bing and Yahoo don&#039;t use meta tags as well I believe. Also, read in one the blog posts that Google is well aware of Duplicate content issues, ranging from copying titles, keywords, site content. They have a mechanism to determine who is fake and who is the original author.</description>

		<description>So as meta keywords are not used and meta description is used only for showing the search results snippet, does this mean that now only meta title is relevant for Google search engine? And what happens if meta title is copied from other websites? what about Bing in this regard?</description>

		<description>Not big news at all.
Google&#039;s attitude towards &#039;keywords meta tag&#039; is a known one. They don&#039;t play a part in deciding the ranking of a site, but not all meta tags. Google wants to re-affirm this in the wake of people suing each other for meta tag keyword theft.</description>
