The keywords listed in the meta tags aren't used by most search engines any
more. What's important is to use keywords in context in your site content.
You get more search engine points if you use them in <title>, <h1>, and <h2>
(etc.) tags too.

To find commonly-used keywords for your content area, see

BTW, you may want to change the description tag to a description. That part
appears as the site description in search results for some search engines.
Make it concise, specific, and in good sentences.

The "description" meta element is usually taken to be a description of the
page it's attached to. The front page of your site is a suitable place
for a site-wide description, but other pages, if they have descriptions at
all, may want to have descriptions more specific to those pages.
