I agreed on the need for a good written title and meta description in a webpage, addition point that everyone must take note : Place your TITLE tag after the HEAD tag and the Meta Description next in line. This is of SEO value, ensure that the spiders read your title first, followed by the description. In this way, we can guide the spiders to have a better understanding of your web content.

But as a SEO consultant, we must always educate our clients that Google is not the only search engine that we are optimizing for. There are Yahoo!, MSN and other important engines out there too. For what i know MSN and Yahoo! is still using meta keywords with little significance.

Additionally, you might wanna mention the importance of making sure these fields are unique (Page Title and Desciption) from page to page. Google does not use the keyword field but MSN and Yahoo do and it is worth doing for that reason. You can use more than 5 keywords in that field as long as each phrase is unique.

The overuse of the tag has dropped it's importance but it is still relevant to the describing of the page. Even the almighty Google will notice if there is only one keyword in the tag. Pick the most relevant keyword for that page and use it. In my tests using a single word vs. several keywords did show slight differences in results, the better being towards the single word or phrase. Even though the difference was quite small, a little edge is all you need in some niches to hit first page vs. second page.
