Tags on Blog post, how many is best?

Chris- · 10-29-2009, 08:07 AM

Basic newbie question . . . on a Blog post (WordPress), is there a best number of keywords (tags) to include? Is more better, is less better, is 5 or 6 best??

Some of my blog posts include a whole lot of different possible keywords, so should I include them all?

If I use fewer keywords, does that give the keywords I do use more "influence" (whatever the right word is for that concept . . . I'm sure you know what I mean!) ?

In the article with around 350 words I use main keyword two to three times. I use this rule for more than two years and never have any problems with search engines.

Sorry, I am not being clear enough, I don't mean IN the post itself, I mean as TAGS, as keywords in All-in-one-SEO, or similar.

thanks

I guess they should be called "Tags"?? All-in-One-SEO-Pack calls the Keywords, but SimpleTags calls them "Tags" . . . I guess they are doing both roles? Anyway, I mean, not in the post itself but the words which become post Tags and SEO Keywords!
