I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but neither google or yahoo read meta keywords. and i leave out the description. This only works on meta search engines like metacrawler, and askjeeves

Go do a search on any phrase and the words you search for are in bold in the title and description. If you put a description, you are limiting the words that may show up, limiting it from finding words or phrases from content.

this is why i never use meta keywords or descriptions unless it is an e-commerce site with one iterm on the page.

Let the search engine get from the content and you will rank for more phrases.

When you place a description, you limit matches from content. Basicaly, it is a forced description.
