Google stopped using keywords meta tag simply to prevent search engine manipulation by the webmasters! If you know how Google indexing works then you'll know that Google searches for keywords in the content and then it associates that content with the search query. But during the time when meta tag keywords was working it was easy to rank for keywords that are not relative to your site by simply adding then to the meta tag keywords. Now Google is all about relative content.
