    Hi I have a doubt in using the strong keywords in article submission. I want to how much strong keyword can we used in the content and I also heard that if we use more strong keywords then the search engine will penalize the article as black hat techniques. Hence please tell me how much strong keywords can be used in the article?

    search engines will not penalize you for using bold (strong) a few times in your article, unless you use it 50 times inside a 700 words articles, just keep your user's experience in mind and only use "strong" when you really want to highlight something, don't over do it, if you do it just once or twice per article you will be fine.

    do you mean stront as in <STRONG> or just "strong keyword" meaning kw that itself is strong in nature? you can use any kw in your article regarless of its strength (not a good term to use btw). as long as you dont overdo the kw and repeat many times (keep the kw density within 1%-2%) you are fine

    Keyword Density is an important thing. This is the most important aspect of getting higher rankings for your select keywords. Write articles that are focused around topics/ keywords you want to target. The idea is to build as many quality links back from communities with the anchor text as the primary keywords you are focusing on. When search engine spiders will see the anchor text as used by popular web, user, and social communities to describe your website and your services, and then compare it with your optimized page (that's focuses around that specific keyword), it will give you a good boost in rankings for your primary keywords.

    I suggest that you research some articles and learn from them.

    That is where the REALITY is.

    I suggest, put some keywords in search engines that is relevant to your article and find out your competitors and see how your competitors are using and check out that keywords in search engines and find out the position of your site so that u can get the strong keywords. and easily you can promote your site much easier

    If you mean using <strong>, then making 2-3 words making strong in a 500 word article is fine. Why you want to make more keywords strong, make your article look natural to your readers and to the search engines as well. It does not look good from the readability point of view.

    One way to start to determine appropriate keywords for a page is to select the top 6 nouns (or variations of them) listed within the content on the actual page itself. Try to use different terms on each page whenever possible. If you have certain keywords you want listed on a page that aren’t in your content, you should try to work them into your actual copy somewhere if it’s possible without making your copy read strangely or become too keyword dense because this makes your site look like a SPAM site. Once you come up with a few terms you think you would like to have on a page try running them through a couple of keyword tools such as a keyword suggestion tool to help you find variations of a term or a keyword difficulty tool or keyword competition check tool to determine how difficult it might be to rank for a certain term. Or, you might even try using SpyFu to determine which terms your competitors are paying to have come up in a search. Then, slim down your list of potential keywords for the page down to your top 6-10 keywords.

    No Search Engine will not penalize the article if you Use <Strong> but if repeatedly do the same then it can harm you as said above many 2-3 times is ok but more can harm and people also not give importance on the <strong> if you use many times

    You must make a suitable density or you will be regarded as spam and be punished!

    Use your keyword about 3-5 times in the article, and you should be fine.
