1. If you are planning on using them for search engines...

to enhancing your Google Ranking, you should be aware that most common search engine robots ignore off-page content, such as meta-tags like Keywords. Although, most still do index the Description meta tag contents. Keywords are pretty much useless unless your are on an Intranet with a proprietary search engine (such as SharePoint).

2. thanks. how about the url?

if my "key words" are in the url, does that help?

3. Absolutely!

Title, Description, Page Content and URL are very key to search optimization.
You should even consider having pages redirect (HTML Response Code 301) to specific pages in order to create higher result rankings.

Here is a good document to help you optimize search rankings:

6. SEO Book

If you are searching to improve your SEO and you have to read one book. I would recommend to read this one:

It is the one of Google. I don't need to explain you who is Google
