Hey sexybunny,
Aaron Wall, in his SEO Book, says, “The meta keywords tag is not supported by many major search engines. While it is important to choose the correct keywords for your page, the meta keywords tag itself is not used by many top SEO experts… I usually do not use the meta keywords tag…
The meta description tag has varying levels of relevancy in different search engines. Many search engines like still support it and display it in their page description snippets in their search results. I suggest trying to get multiple versions of your main keywords, and your main keywords themselves in this tag a few times.”
At SEO Only we still use both tags in our three through five star packages. If time and funds are limited we focus on the page title and content itself and omit meta tags. If you’re looking for a strong Yahoo! Search presense, meta tags are important.
Hope that helps. I recommend you purchase Aaron’s SEO Book. It’s $79 well spent.

Meta tagging is useless for google search engines but it carries good seo value fro yahoo and msn search engines.
