How Many Keywords in META tags?

I need your opinion on this please

[gordele]

Hello Guys,

A new question, I was wondering if there is any limits on the number of keywords I should use on the meta tags of my site? I mean is there any limit before the SE ban me or don't index/rank my site?

Thank you for your help guys :)

Hi gordele,

You can go till 15-20 keywords but make sure you go for only relevant keywords and do not repeat any of them.

Thanks

It's actaully more likely to be number of characters around 60 to 70 that you can use for each of the meta ( key ) or (desc) fields ...some engines use them to agreater or lesser degree ..for some such as "G" they are a "fallback" position ..doesnt do any harm but more than that number even the engines which do use tham will ignore ..
