if i remember correctly, a maximum of only 25 keywords are usually processed.. BUT, most search engines these days completely ignore the tag, therefore in most cases your keywords become useless.


the rest of your meta tags look fine apart from i *think* that html validator states that the trailing slashes are no longer needed (if your using one of the "HTML" doctypes)

i *think* that html validator states that the trailing slashes are no longer needed (if your using one of the "HTML" doctypes)

Only XHTML had the space + forward slash while the space was actually only for backwards compatibility with older browsers that would not understand XHTML. The forward slash is used in XML to note that it doesn't have a closing tag.

XHTML is pretty much obsolete, XHTML2 has been discontinued in favor of HTML5 and XHTML1.x has never been supported by IE. Either use HTML4.x or 5 using for example the boiler plate code from Paul Irish

XHTML isn't obsolete yet - it's still widely used in sites across the internet (I still use XHTML strict for all my doctypes, and this site here is XHTML transitional). Give it a couple of years and it will be phased out for HTML 5 though.
