Achieving strong rankings in the major search engines for your keywords is what makes or breaks the success of your website but be careful not to go overboard with your targeted keywords within your content as I have read that the suggested average of keywords on your page should be about 5-7% and if it’s over 10% you risk being penalized by search engines for spamming or “keyword stuffing”. Remember that relevant incoming links are also just as important so don’t dwell too much on internal seo.
