Keyword Meta tags in only my landing page, or all pages of my site?

Hi experts, I've created a new software package that I'm selling from a website I made. And it's the first time I've ever used a proper landing page to funnel leads to my main site. My question is - should I put "<META NAME="Keywords" tags ONLY in my landing page, or in all my site's pages? I'm no marketing expert, but my feeling is that ideally I want traffic to go through my landing page and not arrive first on my, say, Contact page. Therefore it would make sense that ideally, only my landing page should show up in a search engine search. No?

Thanks!

Thanks Mark.... so if no keyword META tags, how do I tell the search engines what keywords to find my site by? Do I put my keywords in the META Description part??

Thanks

They use the content on the pages, title, and description.

OK. So is it okay to put a normal sentence for the Description. Then immediately following the sentence, put my keywords?

Thanks

You can use a short paragraph for the description. It will appear on the search engine results page. The search engines will pull the keywords from title, description, and content. So if that is about a bicycle seat, the search engine will figure out that the keyword is bicycle seat.
