How many key words should a typical article have?

such as on hub pages, squidoo, or even if the article is a page on your own web site.

Just to clear things up - the key words go in the tag section when you're putting together a blog post or article, correct?
I already know they need to be used through out the article.

Edit:
Do you think my hub page on writer's block has the right amount of tags?
Considering the subject matter of writer's block and it being a hub page:
writer's block
creative thinking
original writing
keep your mind active
boost your creativity

So that's 5 tags right there for a hub page.

You should really only target one, maybe two primary keywords per article (it should be in your title,) but you can target three to four other secondary ones using the keyword tags, and putting them into your description and content.

I usually target one keyword with a density of 1 to 2 percent. Within that same article, I'll weave in a few LSI keywords as well. The larger the article, the more LSI keywords I bring in.

I see successful articles with tons of key words in it all of the time.

I've always thought I've gone too easy on the tags.

Are tags and key words the same thing?
