question

How many keywords is best to use?

I’ve been viewing the source code of other websites that are like mine and have noticed that most of them use 15 keywords and some use 20, but a few go to the extreme by using well over 30 of the dam things, which funnily enough seem to bring them more traffic… by seeing how many on the forums that is. I’m talking about non-members here (bot’s crawlers and those alike)

For nearly a year now I’ve just stuck with 15 keywords but as more features are being added I could do with adding more keywords ya know. I want to add more but don't want them to affect my site ranking etc

Any tips, advice would be much appreciated.

You mean for META keywords?

Yes

META keywords don't carry as much impact as they used to with many of the major engines, particularly Google. My recommendation is to NOT focus on a fixed number of keywords. A small and more targeted list of keywords should be fine.

Thanks for the info Joe. I have uploaded a txt file which contains 21 keywords. I would like to see how you put them to use, like what order you put the keywords in and the way you split the keywords up (should you need to)

Any one can do this if you like.

The keywords in the text file are the ones that are being ranked the most for my site by search engines. I'm just not sure of what order to put the keywords in etc
