    depends if it is one main keyword and a bunch of LSI keywords - but if your have 1000 keywords for a site, then you will optimize for none of them and get nowhere

    Stuffing those tags with keywords won't get you anywhere.

    Onpage and offpage (especially) optimization is the way to go when looking for better search engine rankings, those meta tags don't help you too much, especially in Google.

    Make sure you use your main keywords in your site's content, without over using them, use them in your site's links, picture's alt text, post title etc.

    Then build link popularity using your main keywords as link text. Write useful comments on related blogs and forums, send articles to all of the important article directories, submit your site to different directories, do link exchanges, purchase several one way links, do a press release etc.

    This is just a shortlist with what you should do to properly optimize your sites for the search engines.

    One should definitely be focussing upon a single keyword targeting strategy to come to the google rank pages in a short duration and the keywords should be mentioned atleast once in all the matas to work best for all spiders to search for that really leaves an impact. Thats all from personal experiences!

    You'd be better off with:
    Title - 5-6 words (inlcude KW)
    Description - 2-3 sentence (30-40 words) stating why people should click onto this page. Include KW at start or end of description
    Keyword - focus on 1 - 2 main Keywords per page.

    Best of luck.

      Well said all,

      Esp. healthgeeks. I may butcher this but I think Google only sees like the first 6 words (or "x" characters) and something like 80 for the description. Google likes relevance, definately stick to a main keyword and 1-3 supporting keywords that are relevant to the main one. Find the 4 or 5 of the best buying keywords with the most traffic and use them. If you have 20 excellent keywords out of the thousand, test, test and test again to find the best ones.

      Hope that helps,

      Richard
