Building a glossary page without stuffing keywords...

The keywords I'm using will be multi-tiered. i.e. "Widget + XYZ".

In order to optimize a site for two keywords ("wid get" and "widget" which both mean the same thing), I've decided to create a glossary for one of the terms and optimize the site for the other (thanks nick_w). That is, I will create the site to target "widget" but also build a glossary that contains all the same terms using "wid get".

With this in mind, what I'd like to do is first create my pages optimized for the desired term, let's assume for example "widget xyz". From there I'll also include a few links to and from the glossary using something like "Glossary: <ahref>Wid get xyz</a>", which will link directly to an individual glossary page optimized for "wid get xyz".

What I'm a bit worried about is building the index glossary page (similar to [webmasterworld.com...] that will tie all the terms together. Can I do this without getting into trouble for stuffing?

For example, something like:
wid get xyz
zyy wid get
wid get 000
wid get 012
wid 202
wid get 020
etc..

I've done something somewhat similar for another site that is fine on google right now, but appears to have been black listed for alltheweb. :/

Thanks,
Chris

I wouldn't worry about it much, but why not just do a more comprehensive glossary and hit peripheral terms too? This would make it a more valuable resource and will reduce the keyword repetition.

You could also do an A-Z listing which would eliminate the keyword repetitions entirely.

When you say comprehensive, do you mean do it more like a heirachy? So the glossary index would then read something like:
wid get xyz
abc
bca
wid get yxy

I lose the benefit of the "wid get" anchored text for lower tiers then, no?

Unfortunately alphabetically wouldn't work as 95% of the terms I'm targeting will start with "wid get" so the W would be stuffed.

> 95% of the terms I'm targeting

what I mean by comprehensive is to define all the words that relate to your widgets too. not just the terms that include some form of your main widget word. doing this will reduce keyword repetition and will probably pull in some nice related traffic.
