Is it possible to spam your site by using the same keywords?

[pigsinpink]

I have a niche site with over 100 pages. I have about good 15 keywords that I want to target for my site. If I optimize each page with 1-2 of those keywords will it look like spam to the major search engines?

Only if you overdo it.

Google has no iea of what's on your list, and therefore has no interest in the keywords you use, unless you make you page unreadable.

Ften better to optimise a key phrases rather then words, blue widgets, red widgets, blue thingies, red thingies - but that depends on your niche.

Provided an honest third party can read you page without laughing, chances are you are OK.

But overdoing it can be worse that not doing it at all.

Never lose site of the reason for page optimisation - to get targetted visitors to your page. If they get there, laugh and go away, that isn't much help!
