Meta Keyword & Description Help!

You only get penalized if you *spam* the keywords. That means repeat them over and over in non-relevant context. The fact is you should have them in your keywords and at least once in the text on the page or they don't help.

I would suggest some study of the numerous articles available online.

Partial repetition is fine. "spamming" of keywords would be akin to saying something like "girl girl shoes shoes shoes shoes girl girl girl girl girl shoes shoes shoes" with or without commas etc.

It is normal to repeat words on a page in normal discussion. In fact it's not surprising to note that the word "page" on this page has been used at least 10 times already. And that can hardly be penalized.

While you are using the word "shoes" repeatedly, each instance is separated with commas, and the words between commas are not repeated. As such, the repetition is technically not spamming.

Thanx for the explanation.. i need someone with experience like you guys to give an opinion on my work rather than read about it (keywords) myself & still surrounding with confusion.
