KEYWORD TARGETING
The meta keywords tag is a tag which can be used to highlight
keywords and keyword phrases which the web page is targeting.
Please note that the meta keyword tag is no longer used by the
major search engines.
Analysis
[clients web address] still uses the keyword meta tag (eg. )
Recommendation
Given that Google (and most likely other major search engines)
no longer use the keyword meta tag, I would remove it site wide.
Please see the following article for more information regarding
the keyword meta tag.

increased traffic and more inbound links.
