    I always try to have a keyword weight of above 2%.

    My question is how high can I, and should I go, without being penalized by the search engines?

    I think Yahoo will accept anything up to 8% but Google may be lower?!

    Place your keyword to the title tag and limit it to 3-4% on every page.

    I hope one can increase the weight of the keyword,when you combine it with your title.It means place your keyword as a part of the title tag.And use it on the whole as a title.This can enhance the weight of the keyword,without getting pennalized by the search engines.

    Google says write content for the visitors not for the search engine. So you can use 3% keyword density.

    I would suggest keeping it below 9%, or else you may be penalised for keyword stuffing.
