Hi all,

I sell widgets, 312 different kinds og widgets to be exact, and they mostly all have similar names. My keywords look like this right now;

water widget aqua widget widget smooth widget light blue widget red widget dark green widet....etc, etc, etc.....

Do I need to use commas or anything to seperate them or would that just be wasting characters? How can the search engines tell where one widget keyword ends and another keyword for widgets begin? Do the search engines even care about keyword seperators?

Help.......my brain really hurts now...........

ps...I really appreciate the help.

I really would not be looking for any search engine to rank 1 page for 312 different keywords, NO way ...

There are only about 15 of the most commonly searched for items on my site as keywords.

>>Do the search engines even care about keyword seperators?

Presuming you are talking about META keywords (I hope you are talking about METAS), then I would not waste a headache on combinations of your 312 words. You should add Meta keywords that appear naturally in your page content. You shouldn't stuff your tag with every combination. Simply put, it is a waste of time. My opinion is yes use commas to seperate important phrases.

As Shak asserts your KW targets should be seperated into many pages, you should then align your META KW to the KW target of that page. Going for more than a few keywords a page is just not reasonable by most standards - most target one per page.

Remember even in doing this right, G doesn't even read Keyword Metas, and even in the couple of algos that still do, this Meta is a relatively insignificant part of the algo.
