In 100 words article,how many key words should i use for seo and how many kew words should i bold.(wordpress)
number of keywords to use: all of them at least once
number of keywords to bold: as few as possible
this wasn’t an “seo” question by any chance, was it?
You can select 2-3 keywords and then make them appear anywhere in the article atleast 3 times. It is also important to add hyperlinks to the keywords.
Thank you so much.
Desired keywords percentage is around 3% and accordingly you can choose and make appropriate percentage.
An efficient thing would be to target a search query or query family for each article.
So you don’t need more than 2-4 main keywords and variations per article.
Actually i mean that this is not important for SEO. It can as your own wish.
Thanks all
These are excellent suggestions and make sure to be natural at the same time. Write a cohesive article - I recommend 500+ words when possible (and if enough time) and 3 paragraphs at least. Besides placing your 2 or 3 keyword phrases thru-out the article, also place at least the main keyword phrase in the final paragraph - bolded.
What is the benefit of making keywords bold in an article for SEO?
Good question.
For humans, it suggests importance.
Whether any search engines do anything with them is highly doubtful IMHO
1%-3% keyword in a post, however bold or linked doesn’t mater much, doesn’t make a big difference
It depends upon the the traffic you want to increase
how?
please explain how choosing key words for the meta tag increases traffic
Choosing keywords help crawlers know for which terms you are trying to get that page ranked well. It helps increase traffic as relevant keywords in the Meta tags will help your page rank higher for those particular keywords.
But it must be kept in mind that one should try to optimise only 2-3 keywords,and words similar to those keywords.Expecting your post to rank high for 5 dissimilar keywords is expecting too much 
the only problem is that crawlers ignore the keywords meta tag, because it was so heavily abused by “seo experts” back in the early days of the 21st century
so your suggestion that keywords drive traffic is wrong
@jasjotbains, how do you do figure that if I write something sprinkling in keywords - yet have “totally unique jabberwocky gibberish” in there too - that a search for “totally unique jabberwocky gibberish” will come up as the first result?
My thought is that what’s written is what’s written and when the page meets the search criteria it’s offered as a result.
That is, Google et al wants its users to find the content they’re looking for, not what a content writer wants them to find. Writing for search engines is bass-ackwards IMHO
Ummm Thanks for correcting me…My bad

Firstly i never said first result,just “rank higher” and secondly,if you write “totally unique jabberwocky gibberish” and people actually search for THIS KEYWORD,they are sure to find it sooner or later.
My thought is that what’s written is what’s written and when the page meets the search criteria it’s offered as a result.
The page will meet the criteria if it has relevant keywords in it,“sprinkled” within limited quantities,as in 2-4 words/100 words.
actually, i should apologize… i just realized nobody mentioned the meta tag until i brought it up, and in fact the thread was about keywords in the content, not the meta tag
it’s too early in the morning, i guess
so what i said is true or not ?
