What are you having trouble with Abeer? Is it including them in a site you are working on?

<meta name="keywords" content="">

Should be placed anywhere in the head of the page.

The biggest misconception of this meta tag is to stuff it full of words so when someone types in one of these key words in google your site should appear.

Its not.

You should analyze your content on the page, truly look into what keywords are in the content and then add them into your keywords tag. If google sees that your keywords have nothing to do with your content, googlebot will mark you down a point or 2.

Keep the META code exactly like

<meta name="keywords" content="">

But put your keywords between the ""

for example

<meta name="keywords" content="key words seperated by commas here">

What you have to understand is as follows:

This is the template:

What I marked in red, stays at it is. The blue words are the words you replace with your own keywords.

<meta name="keywords" content="web, forums, help, reviews, tutorials, HTML, CSS">

(The above meta tag is about WDF by the way)

This goes in the header, along with CSS links, JS links, Favion link, and other meta tags like the description.

Hope this helps!
