According to Google, not.  And I have heard it said that they count off
for keyword spamming.

Maybe.  Keywords highest and best use is for internal purposes.  With PmWiki
it is as easy to grep wiki.d/ as to try to find something useful to do with
keywords -- or if grep is Greek to you, the PmWiki search is as effect as
anything.

Perhaps you could come up with something.  However, things like looking for
important words in heads and link text are almost certainly already in
search engine criteria.

Perhaps spending the time developing content that other people will link to
would be a more productive use of your time.
