Keywords, how many is too many?


This is just a question in general.

How many keywords is too many to be SE friendly? Or I guess I should say characters, I

I have seen some say 150 char. and then I have seen some 170..

Now today I found a place that said up to 1000 char. was ok..

Re: Keywords, how many is too many?


good question, I don't use to many since in the end, what is your goal, target in the end. I guess search engines must cut of somewhere but I have no clue where and if the main words are behind the cutoff....
I try to choose about 10 that are really well targeted and not to common
from there on... be persistant and use them in posts.

Re: Keywords, how many is too many?


With my vbseo, I was wondering if I have too many keywords in some of the links to my forums. What do you guys think?

Hey again. Thanks for your advice. It is much appreciated. I was just wondering, do you think Google might penalize these URLs for having too many keywords? They are two of the subdirectories on my forum

Root:

ww.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/


"US Politics" Forum on the forums page:

ww.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/forum/us-politics/


"World Politics" Forum on the forums page:


ww.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/forum/world-politics/


(one "w" taken out of www to display the entire URL)

Re: Keywords, how many is too many?


Too much is when you're just picking random words. Keywords are words that have a strong relationship to what you're writing.

Cool.

Hmmm, it would be nice if you could maybe lower the minimum character count for a post.

I only wanted to say " Cool." :p
