Web Page Metadata Does Matter

So metadata no longer matters within the web page environment? Admittedly, I am a nobody in the giant arena of Information Technology. But with well managed metadata and information content, I have placed myself into an interesting position. In yahoo, here is where this site (http://www.rtodd.com) ranks based on the enclosed metadata keywords:

information technology author speaker: 9th
information technology speaker author: 184th
information technology author ph.d.: 5th
information technology speaker ph.d.: 3rd

One can argue that I am picking my keywords strategically and this is true. But the point is that Metadata still does matter. Oh yes, in Google I am so far down the list that you would get tired looking for it but Google utilizes links. So the next step form me is to increase linkage, any takers?
