    In the title? Your main keyword and a related keyword or two. Don't repeat them.

    I don't think there's an "ideal number", but that's what works for me.

    Just try to stay under 70 characters or so. Keep in mind that the title helps rankings, but it also plays a major role in click thru rates. So you'll want to include your main keyword close to the beginning, but you also want to draw people in. At the same time, the more words you add, the more you dilute your main target keyword(s). For a good idea compare the titles of the top ranked sites for your niche. Some sites prefer a longer title to fit in more keywords for msn or yahoo, but I think that looks spammy.

    on title best way to use upto 3. But in page you can as many as you want.But its good practice not to use more then 10 keywords in a single page. Its hard work but to get result you have to do it.

    Right, for homepage 2-3 main big keywords and 1 for other pages. Keep about 66 characters long!

    Have a nice day,

    One primary keyword phrase and one or two supporting keywords (LSI). Also try to keep the main keyword at the beginning of your title.

    Try to use your primary keyword first, this is very important for the SE's and means also that in the 1st place to identify the site with that content.

    Also try to keep the title min.

    Good luck

    Hi

    No more than 3 keyword phrases to a webpage. If you use 2 or 3 then always put the most important phrase first in your keyword meta tag.

    Use the same keyword phrases whether it is 1, 2 or 3 in Your Title tag if possible.

    The always use your main keyword phrase within your description tag.

    Then if possible use your main choosen keyword phrase in the Header tag of your webpage and then again within the first 90 characters. Then do not use it again until after 600 characters. After this point try to use it roughly once in every 600 to 1000 characters.

    If possible you need to use your keyword phrase in an anchor link text linking out of your webpage.

    If you have an image on the webpage ad an alt tag using the keyword phrase.

    Then any links that link into this webpage you must also try and use the main keyword phrase.

    The above does not matter if it is perfect, but get most of it right and you will see a differnce within your search engine rankings.

    Mike

    Related keywords also help. So instead of just using "dog" you should also use "canine", "puppy" and so on.
    This also holds true for backlinks to your site. Google says you should be able to remove all of your main keywords from your page and still be able to understand your niche.

    You can use 255 characters for the keyword meta tag.

    its not important how many keyword to be placed in title but its important how quality keywords you pick. jst take 2 primary keywords and try to repeat it once again in the title in the manner it doesn't look spam at the same time it gives meaning too.
