are to many keywords bad?

[mattaw101]

is it bad for google, yahoo and msn if you put like 100 keywords on your pages (dont know but considering it for newer pages)

I think you can be penalized on google for keyword stuffing.

[mattaw101]

on most of my webpages i have 24 or less keywords, is that to many?

RewardsKingdom is correct. and it's look like a spamming. 24 is also too many cause we include maximum of only 5 keywords in each page but usually we include at least 2 keywords which is relevant on that particular page.

[mattaw101]

i meant meta keywords just to specifiy, some of the top listed sites have more than 5 meta keywords on google.

Too many keywords will not let your site listed in small search engines.

[cessai]

IMO, its okay, as long as you keywords are different from each other. Don't mention one keyword repetitively.

[Hafsoh]

Agreed with cessai if your keywords are many they should be different from one another.

[tomfrederick]

If you put 100 keywords I think it is spamming and google can penalized you.

[webmidas]

just keep it under five and your site will be good to go.

Mattaw,

Having too many keywords is not bad in nature, but in terms of SEO it's horrible. It's not to big G's interest to rank all keywords of any site top for a reason. Imagine if Yahoo ranks top for every keyword you researched?

There are those who said it is not, but the fact is it is. When I say a lot, I meant in the 100s or more.

probably it will be penalized. its keyword stuffing.

[Brad Gosse]

Less=More. I have some sites with NO meta keywords and they rank well.

Bad very bad.. That's stuffing............KEYWORD Stuffing.

You should check your keyword density...

[ezhel]

It is search engine spamming on of the most probable ways you site being banned. So, it is better to use "white" optimization techniques instead of "black" one.

[x3mario]

Google as well as some search engine did not tolerate keyword stuffing. It's really a bad idea and you be penalized for that.

[Qurratulain]

I think keywords shouldn't exceed 6% else it would give an artificial effect, both to readers and bots.

[guinanie]

Excessive keywords is "keyword stuffing" and might penalized your site. You need to have a 20 keywords to your main site.

[searchbliss]

100 keyworeds is fine if you have 10,000+ words and they are not all at the top.

[hawashp]

you must have keyword density of 3-5 %
