You site is never found by meta keywords - your site is found by good content relative to the keywords that people use to search with. So - if the words I search for are blue widgits - and you sell widgits, but don't use the term blue widgits on your page - chances are the websites who do use those terms on the page, in the title - will be way ahead of yours. It's HOW and WHERE you place keywords. And that you realize that EVERY page of your website is a page that should be optimized for DIFFERENT keywords/keyword phrases.

Also - you cannot expect the se's to use what you think/want them to use in the description when they do show you in a search result. They can and will pull ANYTHING they want to from your page, title, description, etc.
