    I've been working on search engine optimization for my site SelectiveMobile.com. I'm having trouble finding the right keywords for the keyword tag and don't know how many keywords I should have per page. Please advise.

    Depends on the page and what keywords.

    Without looking at your site here is what I would do...

    Have a sitewide menu listing all your major keywords and a link to a page dedicated for that keyword using appropriate anchor text, basic SEO, and good unique content.

    and remember the fact, that onpage keywords are just one part, more important are offpage keywords, means the keywords used in and around links to your site

    To find good keywords for site you should do a bit of
    keyword research using tools like goodkeywords. You
    should also spy on your best ranking competitors' sites.
    That should give you ideas.

    The ideal number of keywords you should optimze your
    page for is 1. You should avoid spamming by all means
    however. This one keyword is the one that you wish to
    rank high for in the long term.

    I said 1 is ideal but so what... You can sprinkle some
    less competitive keywords here and there. I usually
    like to use ones with zero competition on Google
    for this.

    Use the rest of the keywords in articles, blog postings etc

    say for e.g. you have a page that sells nokia phones i would have 1 main keyword and 2 or 3 extra keywords for that page.

    some keyword examples might be

    main keyword:
    Buy Nokia Phones

    extra keywords:
    Cheap Nokia Phone
    Nokia Phone Deals
    Buy Nokia Mobile Phones
    etc
