Questions about Meta Tags and Titles

    Hey everyone, over the last week or so ive used a few different META tag analyzers and such. Every one I use has a different answer for the following things:

    Length of Meta Description: 1 Analyzer said 250 chars max, another said 150 chars max - What do you guys think?

    Length of Title: Ive seen anywhere from 3 words, to 3-6 words up to 10 words max - Again, what do you think?

    Keywords: Ive seen 3-6 keywords, but do not repeat the same word, I find that problematic with a credit card site for instance - Credit card, bad credit, good credit... etc. - Is that bad? I dont see a way around not using the word credit multiple times...

    What other meta tags? Ive seen a few generators that do tags like RevisitAfter, MSPreventSmartParsing or something similar to that.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    My favorite is 1 or 2 keyword(s) per page and in the title - keyword which is the title!

    meta description - subtitle :)

    For me, do 150 chars because search engines can easily read lesser description.

    Hmmm, I think that's too many, but maybe try lesser

    All I know is that tags are really not that important but I do it anyway because I hear they are seen a little bit.

    Another thing is that they all have to be differnet for different pages.

    I use this for the amount.


    Title: Up to 5 words
    Description: up to 15 chars
    Kw: up to 3 main key words per page

    Thank You,
