The Description is normally found under the link in a search engine listing, although some search engines make up a description based on the actual text content of your page. The description should be a few sentences describing you page. Each page in your site should have this Meta Tag. Most spiders only read the first 255 characters of a description.
The Keyword tag is a comma delimited list of words that relate to the content of the page, this should be search terms and words you think people will enter into an engine when looking for a page like yours. Try to use at least 10 and no more that 50 or so keywords. Most spiders only read the first 255 or 1024 characters of a description.
Many people have attempted to SPAM or Spoof search engines by using false meta-data. Many search engines, will punish a site that tries to spoof, and the site will either be ranked very low, or omitted completely from the engine.
