    Just wonder how many keywords that we can included in the keyword tag inside a normal html page? Ideally, how many keywords that we need to put inside a page of website? Please help. Thanks

    One.

    The major search engines don't read keyword meta tags. You can put one or 2 for the minor ones.

    Even when they did read them, years ago, there was never anything to be gained from putting hundreds of keywords.
    No page is - or should be - about hundreds of things - it's about ONE thing that can be described in ONE keyword.

    Oh god, not again....

    Also, is 3-4% of 500 words different to 3-4% of 1000 words?

    3% keyword density mean
    "keyword" appear 15 times in 500 words
    or 30 times in 1000words

    Yes, but it's still a percentage ... so you fraxisphone could have just said 3-4% ;) (which is incorrect anyway).

    I agree with you. Keywords in meta tag are of no importance for search engine, especially for Google. Now they pay attention to keyword density in the body.
