In regards to entering as many keywords relative to your site, unless the page is optimized for each keyword, I'm of the opinion that you merely end up bloating your code.

For instance, a Peace Action site that loads up keywords like "US military, nuclear weapons policy, Pentagon, arms sales, arms, arms exports" will NEVER show up in serps for those terms. And they're wasting their time.

Only pages that are properly optimized for those keywords will pop up in serps way before your site ever does.

So it seems to make sense to have keywords directly related to the search for your site, but only to the extent that they match the keywords you are hammering home on that particular page.

That's my humble opinion... And I'd like to hear what other people feel about the meta tag subject.
