Hey guys:)

Need your guys help.
Well...

Q.1. If i'm too specific in <title></title> or <h1></h1> with a keyword phrase, will you get penalized?
For example, if i have:

<title>Green widgets</title>

and

<h1>Green widgets</h1>

Q.2. Will this cause a penalty as being looked as trying to spam because of the keyword being to specific and the *keyword weight* being too high?

My SEO software says it's too high(kw weight=100%)
I read that too high a keyword weight will cause the engines to think you are trying to spam.

Well...Thanks guys for your help:)
I appreciate your advice.

IMO, having identical <title> and <h1> is perfectly normal, and *not* a sign of spam! (In fact, I vaguely recall reading as much on some authoritative site --W3?)

Thanks for your reply Eltiti:)

But that's not what i mean. I mean if i have:

<title>Green Widget</title>

that this is *too exact* because it is *only* the *keyword phrase* in the <title></title> without any other words in it. So...it is looked as spam because the kw weight is too high. In this case it is kw weight=100% on target for the kw phrase.

Should the <title></title> have more words in it? For example a full sentence for the subject of the page?
