Keyword Quantity

hst · 03-17-2008, 06:00 AM

How much is too much? How little is too little? What are the quantity rules for keywords?

Like so much SEO, there are no rules. Keyword research is the key(!) - you need to research what people actually search for. If your main keywords are so well covered by high-profile sites try a 'long tail' approach with a wide range of more obscure terms (search 'long tail marketing')

If I were not mistaken to what I have read the site's keywords capacity should be limit from 5 to 8 keywords. See this http://browsershots.org/ and you will get comment from here.

I remember some time ago there was a rule of thumb that around 7 repetitions of any keyword was condidered good, any fewer was not enough, any more was aiming for penalisation. I'm pretty sure that's gone now in favour of natural content where the number of repetitions of a keyword is less significant.

there is no limit of use of kws, as long as you don't spam or stuff kws..
you can't really avoid to repeat some kws.

Agree with bogs as long as the site content is natural and not keyword stuffed you can repeat your key words phrases as much as you want!

All depends who you talk too.

I agree with most of the guys above, dont stuff or spam, and your fine.

Try to be natural.

Well my general rule is KW in the first and last sentence is a MUST!

Keywords should be 30% of the total words in a web page.

Do you mean if I compile a 3000 words long blogpost 1000 should be keywords?

Mostly there is only one with its long tail variations.

R U MAD?

There is no written rule for SEO or keywords. All the rules are based on experience and imagination. 30% looks too much to me ... I believe natural text shows better result.

Abbey · 03-25-2008, 09:22 AM

The main thing is that your keywords should be relevant to the site, describing it, there isn't a definite number lol...

sums123 · 03-26-2008, 02:00 PM

They should be theme related and describe the content of your website.

hem1234 · 03-27-2008, 11:31 AM

Title tag should not more than 5-15 words, maximum 2 commas,Description should be upto 200 characters means 25 words. Some search engines read more than 170 characters and some reads about 120-130 characters like google.
