Keywords are words or phrases describing your product or service that you choose to help determine when and where your ad can appear. Metadata is "data that provides information about other data (books, articles, primary sources, etc.)", but not the content of the data, such as the text of a message or the image itself. Language matters in searching and writing.

New York University Press has published eight books in its Keywords Series in the last few years."
