I'm not sure if search engines pay very much attention to meta tags as 
some sites have a tendancy to overload the keyword tag with descriptive 
phrases in the hope that it will bias the search engines in their favour.  
Best to make sure you are making good use of h1, h2, h3 tags for your 
headings and that they are properly descriptive.
