Hey Tamara! Here we covered why meta keywords are essentially useless when it comes to SEO, so there is no reason to bother with them.
If I’m misinterpreting the question and you are referring to some other keywords, let me know 🙂
Cheers,

Thanks @lebaux. I totally agree with your statements about using keywords, but you should understand that as a site development company we should explain somehow to our clients why we consider this plugin – SEO Framework one of the best, though it even doesn’t have keywords and all the rest well-known plugins have. It’s sometimes difficult.
The other well-known SEO plugins seem to appease their business interests, while TSF appeases search engines and social networks. The former creates a lot of junk and nonsense surrounding WordPress and SEO for us to resolve, but we try to fight through it 🙂 Thanks for sticking with us in this fight!
As for keyword helpers, we do have the Focus extension, which could help your clients appeasing search engines with keywords. It’s new-style, by assisting users in surrounding their (product) content around a keyword, instead of outputting a meta tag.
@cybr Guys – you are great! And you have created a really good product. Thanks
Yes meta keywords are definitely a holdover, but no matter of the fact that I’m providing links to the official Google, Yahoo, Bing and other sources, claiming they are not using meta keywords since 2009 already – I can still hear from the clients something like: most of plugins still include this feature and even build their marketing around that (increasing the amount of keywords) then maybe they know something))))
I found this article by Yoast, that explains that their keywords are not meta keywords!
No need to show code anymore!
