I wouldn't bother with keywords since it's an outdated concept, but if you must, you put META anywhere in HEAD.

There is no order to HTML elements. It's a matter of what can contain what.

If keywords and outdated, what is the best way to web ranking.
I am very new to this, you may be able to tell.

Uh, no, keywords are not an "outdated concept". Currently most web search systems don't use the html "keyword" metatag, which means that if you want them to find keywords (for example, words that should find your page even if they don't occur on it: alternative spellings, alternative terminology, etc) you have to add them inside the text of the page. Still seems like a good idea to provide the keywords metatag, though, since (imho) you can never really do wrong by doing things "properly".

Thank you for your answers, is there anywhere I can break to add the keywords:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />

Lide where it says "text/ do I replace text with the keywords I want to add.

Thank you

This page has an example on how to add META keywords: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html --but again, search engines will not care about that.
