Hi Ben,
The keyword tag was ignored by Google since these tags were used by site owners to stuff keywords/fool Google. The new tags are which are mentioned in the blog will help us to improve the visibility of content mentioned in the page in search engines & different social media.
For example:
<meta property=”og:title” content=”Awesome blog”/>
<meta property=”og:description” content=”Awesome blog Description”/>
<meta property=”og:image” content=”http://domain.com/some-thumbnail.jpg”/>
When these 3 tags are added & if a user share this page in FB, the fb will automatically pull the title as "Awesome blog" & description for the link as "Awesome blog Description" and images which is mentioned in the path.
These tags will help us to optimize(control the length) the title, description & image as per the social media in which these are shared. Finally getting high CTR.
The more times the page is shared the more the backlink we get & finally increase in PR. Thanks!
