  We cannot access our underlying templates and edit them at wordpress.COM, however, that makes no difference anyway. Matt Cutts of Google has stated repeatedly that meta tags are not used by Google and have not been used for a long time. He has also confirmed that they is no intention to use them in the future. The reason they are no longer used is because they were easily manipulated by unscrupulous webmasters who were attempting to “game the system”. http://opposablethumbz.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/its-official-google-pays-no-attention-to-meta-keywords/
