    What is the maximum length that you can make your webpage's name without being labeled as 'keyword stuffing'

    Would this be too long?

    K09-keyword-keyword-keyword.html

    How many keywords maximum may we use?

    Look at blogs...they put keywords in the url so no worries there. Actually it's advisable to do so. What you have to worry about is the length of the domain name. That should be relatively short and memorable.

    That's a good point you've raised there (even blogspot makes webpage names very long and they're google owned). Thank you for your input :)

    I think that long URLs are the next "internet thing", as it's becoming impossible to find compound word or 3 word URLs.
