Re: Number of Keywords

As I understand it, some search engines will only index a certain number of
keywords and ignore the rest, but I haven't heard of a site losing ranking
over the number of keywords - unless you are repeating the same words over
and over, which is considered spamming.  I have gone to several major search
engines, and noticed that the sites ranking highest on the list have more
than 15 keywords.
