Is there any drawback if I put a huge list in my META Keywords field?

There is term and condition for putting the keywords in meta tags ideally, we can apply 150 characters for meta description and 170 characters for meta keywords along with 70 characters for title.

There are NO "terms and conditions for meta keywords or meta description elements!!!

It's just the imaginary numbers that some "expert" has dreamed up!!!

yes there is not condition for number of characters but that also true if we follow that parameter of characters limit because search engine has a limit to read the meta tag

Meta keywords have no more value from Google point of view. Just not worth spending time on it if you are tightly concerned about Google. May be OK for other SEs.

OK Quick poll!

Anybody bother reading the post where I detailed my results from an ACTUAL REAL TEST rather than pointless speculation or guessing?

I read it Chris, it's good to see someone actually taking a more scientific approach to SEO and TESTING things

Matt Cutts explains Google's position on META Keywords here:

i do not care much on the characters limit of meta tags. i keep them as per my mind says which is perfect for my site

and also i have heard that search engines are not valuing meta tags much now like they used to value before

I found that meta keywords tag works best when it contains 6-10 keywords (depending on keywords themselves). I'm playing with it for about 6 years

Is this limit added by your HTML editor? I saw some sites using hundreds of words in these metatags

What ever you write in Meta keywords it will be totally ignored by SEs especially Google.

I think 150 to 170 character Meta tag keyword is good. More than that will look cheap and might be consider spam as well

They are not ignored. Search engines just don't pay so much attention to meta tags today
