How many keywords should i use?

Keywords should target your website and content. use multiple keywords for best results.

& what about the Meta Keyword Tag, should i enter this in my site's source code or not?? if not than why?? & if yes than why??

I personally use up to 10 keywords in the Meta tag.

In my meta description, I tend to want to repeat my keyword twice within the description.

It's a good idea to have your keyword as your domain name.

As for keyword usage in your content, my rule of thumb is to have my keyword listed at least 3% and not greater than 5% within the article. Try to avoid "keyword stuffing" as this can get you slapped by Google, or it can tend to be obvious to your visitors that you're more interested in making Google happy rather than give the visitor what they want, i.e. valid and unique content.

Keeping in mind that it's also a good idea to use at least one H1 tag in your article and use your keyword in this tag.

Lastly, what works well for me is to do the following:

--Bold your keyword once in your text

--Italicize your keyword once

--Make sure your grammar is correct and spelling is checked for errors

These are just a few basics, but it's surprising to know that a lot of people don't know this.

try to put in only main targeted keywords in your meta or description tags. Too much of a keywords might get confused the Big G ( which is not a good signal at all )

0 to 5 keywords can be contained in keywords tags, and you can put your keywords in title, keywords tags, description tags and the content of your site. pay attention to various keywords.

Google does not use the meta keyword tool anymore, most search engines ignore it completely.

The meta description should NOT be stuffed with keywords, this is your chance to lure people in to click on your link. Make it engaging and try to fit one or two keywords in there.

Most do ignore it, but some dont, the other reason that I keep them in there is so that I can always track easily what I have been working for. I have also in the past used it to throw off people if any one looked there to see what I was trying to rank for. That way if they checked my site it wouldnt be just handed to them.

thanks to all friends, now i have only one question that how many keywords i should use in one article???

my friend my question is that how many keywords i should use in one 250 characters article??? & should i bold my keywords entered in my article or not???

hi choose most competitive keywords in title tag, you can select up to 3 keywords per page. description length should be 150-160 characters.

i think that we should use different keyword for our websites....because when search something than more keywords will help us to make better search of our website

First of all keywords are not important in these days, and if you want to use meta tags in your pages then go for maximum 4-5 keywords.

You can use 8-10 keyword in a single page. But keep in mind that relevancy is more important.

You can choose 5 to 6 meta keywords from content of your website,choose those keywords by checking the competitions and searches. the meta description can be fron 140 to a60 characters but it should be clearly define about your website short and sweet.

Focus on multiple keywords and before choosing the keywords do some research like how much traffic is looking for such keyword.

You can use 3-4 keywords for one page & for one entire website, you can use maximum keywords as per the categories

It is advisable to target only few keywords(2 or 3) & make sure that you do not use the keywords more time, Make it as 2% on total content. That will help you to maintain a good content which will be loved a lot by Google.

First start with keyword which has high traffic but make it long tail to get fast and better results online.
