Are keywords still relavent 
I mean I'm talking meta tag keywords,
not the keywords of the body of a page,
haven't engines evolved beyond looking at meta tag keywords

Google, Yahoo and MSN all claim they do not use Meta Keywords to judge relevance or for indexing purposes. There are still a few search engines that use the Keywords tag, however you are right when you say they have "evolved" and are now looking for other things besides the Meta Keywords Tag.
Links have gotten to be a really big deal, as well as linkbait and other creative tactics to increase link popularity.
Social bookmarking has grown a lot and is making a huge come back.
Still the best weapon to use would have to be quality relevant content optimized on and off the pages.

meta tags are still used on some advertisment based engines, but really the only consistant pratice is good content

<meta> tags still works for google,yahoo or msn. But they are not so effective at all. But you didn't put <meta > tags then u lacking somewhere is optimization....

I don't think so, if the meta keywords are still relevant.

Meta Keywords are relevant to website, it will identify the positioning of keywords.

you should always make your pages friendly for all search engines, even though some do not care about keywords there are some that still do so placeing them in your site is not going to hurt you any it can only help, I would use only about 3 for 4 keyword phrases that should be enough and it does'nt look like you are spamming.

Yes ,keywords still have relevance. More emphasis should be given to keywords in title tags. No doubt more sources of promotion are there these days.. but still keywords have not lost relevance.

I think Main search engines like Yahoo, Google, Msn are not interesting to meta keywords.
