Repeated word in keywords

    Is it good for SEO if the same word appears several times in keywords?

    For example: good coffee, bad coffee, black coffee, morning coffee, ......

    If I remove this 'coffee' word from most of them, the keywords will be too broad, general and doesn't make sense.

    Any suggestions?

    Where are you using them? If you are simply using them scattered throughout a post or webpage then I think it should be okay.

    If I am simply adding keywods to identify a site then I try to be a little more broad... but with coffee it may be a bit hard!

    you are probably talking about the meta keywords. Then I would say it is ok. But remember that meta keywords have little to none impact on search engines.

    You need to look at your competitors key words first regarding coffee. If they are using the term coffee multiple times and they are in the top ten then go ahead but if not do not over use the term. Limit yourself to the number of times they have used it. Also make sure the term is on the page in the body text or elsewhere. Key words do not generally help but can count as a deficit if not on the body.
    If you are writing for key word you would make better use of designing a spot on domain and url
    such as http: forward slash coffee.com/coffee-brewer. add html the idea here is to write for you key word in your url.In my example coffee brewer this gives you greater relevancy to the search engines. look for Jerry West Good Goolge Practices PDF and save you self a lot of time.

    If you're only including 5-10 keyword phrases in your meta keywords elements, it won't matter that each of the phrases repeat some keyword.

    "good coffee" is a keyword phrase. "coffee" is a keyword within that keyword phrase. No search engine is going to consider it spamming if you limit your keyword phrases to 5-10 even if "coffee" is in each one.

    And as a previous poster said, most search engines ignore the meta keywords element for ranking purposes. And the ones that actually consider it, like Yahoo! ROFLMAO, give it VERY little weight in their overall ranking algorithm.

    One thing to remember here is that Google no longer refers to your meta keywords, so I would think that it would make a difference at all. If you are using these keywords in combination on yoru site, try to be a bit more considerate though. For example:

    "Jack likes to drink black coffee in the morning."

    That will hit you up on some keyword combos as well, makes your keywords a bit more serponsive in the search engines.

    Depends on relevancy that concisely describe a page content, consider to add keyword phrases rather than repeating same keywords multiple time.

    ya i do agree. Meta keywords are not used by google. Try to add those keywords in your site at all possible places, google will crawl your site and rank your site for that particular keyword.

    Meta keywords are depricated already, focus on your title tag, and scatter them around your articles and bold the major ones

    Have 10 Meta keywords. Do I add them all to the site content or just a few important ones?



    How do I put all 10 keywords into the title tag?

    Focus on your Title tag ,H1 tag and the contents. Never use meta tag there is no use. Matt Cutt a developer of Google says that Google search engine are never considering META Keywords now.

    you can used it's in Key words tag and you should have to rotate it's in your site content with good Key words density with highlighted key words like with bold, Italic, H1 to H3 tag, Alt Tags then it's will be fine.

    dear first have a competitive analysis for the keyword and then select your keyword ..and then use it in meta or where ever you want...but be sure to have an analysis before proceeding further....coffee is too generic term....just look for the interest of your targeted visitors and then take a go on this...!!

    If I were you, I would have individual pages to cover the various keywords. That way you can optimise better for each one & you don't have too many keywords competing for relevance on one page.

    But, i'm not you :)
