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..

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.

I would target about 5 at a time
measure the keyword strength here

Keyword Selector Tool

the higher the number, the better

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
