How many keywords should I use to promote a website? If I put too many, each of them will count for less?

I found that article but I'm not sure if its right or not.

Thanks for helping!

Sorry; it's a terrible article. The first paragraph is wrong, and what follows gets more wrong. Keyword density gets a lot of attention, but honestly wastes a lot of peoples' time. Anyone who looses sleep wondering how many words to use on a page really isn't doing them self any favors.

It's generally a good idea to design for human users, not for robots. If you do nothing but stuff a particular keyword into your copy over and over and over again, people will get tired of reading it and leave. That's going to happen before any search engine might raise flags for stuffing. Anyway, you aren't going to rank better for having used a phrase a dozen times versus a few.

What Forrest said. Keyword density in and of itself is becoming less and less important with more and more people searching for longtail phrases. A lot of the time, you're better off targeting an 8-word phrase and mentioning it once than you are targeting a 2-word phrase and mentioning it 10 times, since the competition is lower and the phrase is more targeted.

The best thing you can do is to just go about your business writing content, put any keyphrases you feel like focusing on anywhere that the'll fit organically, and be done with it. Good content attracts good people who share it with other good people.

P.S. The previous answer was merely for the benefit of those who would take your post at face value, as opposed to the link drop it actually is.

Right click on each image, and view the properties for the image.

Nice try, spammer.

There's no definite keywords to use. Try to use keywords that best describe the content of your site. They should be relevant to your site's them. And don't repeat them...

The use of keywords in the is depends upon the site. More keyword phrases give good results but keyword density keep in mind. The limit of keywords in site is 1024 characters.

Actually forget any imaginary number called "keyword density"

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

The more keyword you optimized tour website for, the more traffic you got.
I usually focus on one keyword and for one week i work on that keyword. After getting top in google for that keyword, i found another less competetive keyword and work on that keyword. I repeat the process again and again.

And now i am working on keyword "< link drop REMOVED!!!! > . I am on page 2 in google and soon i will be in No. 1

there's no limitation when it comes to the number of keywords as long as it is related then include it... well that is, if you think you can have them all rank then why not!?

Get a few quality keywords / phrases that describes your theme. Those keywords/phrases and the relevant content will help to promote your site well. Always add more relevant content pages regularly to your site. Even one mis-spelled keyword can help your site more than a 100 other keywords. Know what people are looking for in the SEs, and use those words /phrases as your keywords!

there's no limit on how many or how much you need for your keywords. Just target all the related and most searched keywords that you think would definitely suit your niche. Avoid redundancy as well.
