Good Point. We don’t like to be ignorant towards other search engines but Cuil and Exalead have a very a small search market share and both of them couldn’t gain any more traffic over the last few months if we trust Compete (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/cuil.com+exalead.com/?metric=sess&months=12).
Of course each country/region has its search engine preferences. Therefore in some regions it might be interesting to optimize for these minor search engines.

Personally I don’t know how much or if at all meta keywords influence the ranking in Cuil and Exalead. This is definitely of interest and I’d be glad to hear more about it.

Andreas, I know and I hope that they will be killed sooner then later but the problem is as long as they work for Yahoo, there will always be this discussion. I hope they will kill the whole option, as well in Dreamweaver, so it's more obvious.. You know, some webmasters and Web creators don't recognize a cow even though it's standing on their feet. @Andreas Pfister

Jaap I know these stories. There is a pretty good article on Search Engine Land about it, though it is from 2007: http://bit.ly/1a3ne8

I personally think including Meta Keywords is not worth the effort. And obviously you give away to the competition what keywords you are exactly targeting. And with Yahoo Search being powered by Bing, I think the future is not bright for the meta keywords – with a good reason

Not so sure that yahoo do really ignore them.
This term is only in my keywords part of the site, and still does show up in yahoo, while it doesn’t show up in Google and Bing
