Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking: "Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking

Recently we received some questions about how Google uses (or more accurately, doesn't use) the 'keywords' meta tag in ranking web search results. Suppose you have two website owners, Alice and Bob. Alice runs a company called AliceCo and Bob runs BobCo. One day while looking at Bob's site, Alice notices that Bob has copied some of the words that she uses in her 'keywords' meta tag. Even more interesting, Bob has added the words 'AliceCo' to his 'keywords' meta tag. Should Alice be concerned?
At least for Google's web search results currently (September 2009), the answer is no. Google doesn't use the 'keywords' meta tag in our web search ranking"
