 * Hi there,
    right now I have activated the “Use Meta Keywords” option, although
   I know Google doesn’t use this anymore. BUT I was wondering if I have any disadvantages,
   if this is enabled? Or will this just be ignored? Best, Max

 * Hey [@maxidavis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxidavis/),
 * That’s correct. Google no longer takes meta keywords into account, but that doesn’t
   mean they will punish you for using them; They should simply ignore them.
 * The main reason why we still offer this functionality is because some smaller
   search engines like Yandex still consider them – [https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/controlling-robot/html.html](https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/controlling-robot/html.html)
