Keywords are fairly redundant now, they used be used so that indexers (ie. search engines) would know how to classify the page and what type of content it had, however, since people cannot be trusted to accuractly describe their own pages the use of keywords for indexing is now greatly reduced or just not used at all by some search engines.

Your use of keywords though is correct, however I would recommend reducing the amount that you use as having too many keywords may actually dilute their effect with engines that do actually use them.

Like keywords, title and description need to be more relevant.

Also i got this from a book, 'If you want a more pro job at SEO do a quick search on Google for 'Search Engine Optimise' and only pick the people in the top 10 because if they can get there site in the top 10, what are they going to do with your site?' or something like that

yes, keep it relevant. Customise it to specific pages as well, so only have "php, web development" on the relevant pages, likewise have "games, tetris" on your games pages... you get the idea

probably best not to spam it post about it in RELEVANT places only, that will be much more effective in attracting people.

As for using my advise, that's not a problem, it's just common sense really
