Hello friends,
What happen if we cross the limit of characters for keywords, title and description tag can we penalized by search engines ?
Thanks
Wrong, wrong and wrong. Please stop posting incorrect, inaccurate and misleading information in this forum - it is not appreciated by anyone.
It is recommended you cap your title at about 60 characters (although there is no absolute limit), because anything longer is likely to be truncated in SERPs. A title of 100 characters will be abbreviated.
If your description is more than about 160 characters, search engines will almost certainly shorten it. You may consider that a worthwhile compromise if you need more than the length of a text message to fully describe the page, and then users will see whatever bit of the snippet or page contents the SE thinks is most relevant.
Keywords are largely irrelevant, because Google completely ignores them. if you can be bothered with them, you should try to keep to a maximum of about 10 keywords per page - any more than that and search engines lose interest.
You couldn’t be further from the truth, meta information provided accurately is just as relevant today as ever. While keyword are ignored due to abuse, the description element (plus others) are still useful (just look at the IE standards switch). Not only that, if you look beyond META tags, meta data like provided by the DCMI, RDFa Group and the microformats community are getting heavy uptake from the likes of Google and have a serious part to play in the future of the semantic web. 
They wont penalized but the thing is search engine will not give the much preference of bulk data in Meta tags.
as per SEO Character limitations of Meta tags are
i. Title:-we can use up to 100 Characters and with Keyword stuffed)
ii. Description:-we can use up to 250 Characters with keyword stuffed
iii. Keywords:-we can use up to 1000 Characters
no one cares about meta-tags nowadays
The other thing to remember is that, while there are some things Google don’t actually penalise you for, you can end up penalising yourself by diluting your own ranking - that’s one danger of putting in too many keywords.
Well said there. There are lots of things that really won’t get penalized by Google, just a wasted effort.
They are ignored in most cases, both by search engines and human readers.
I don’t there’s a limit… maybe try to refer on the number characters that google shows on search snippet…
you won’t be penalised, that’s for sure. But its no longer SEO.
Stevie D is right other else extra you’ve written will not be given much attention, to search engines and to your users.
If you would go beyond the character limit for meta title and description, you probably violate the ethical search engine optimization guidelines. In that case, google won’t probably display all the information you put in your meta description when it indexed your website.
You won’t be penalised, they just might not pay attention to everything you’ve written.
In terms of <title>, most search engines will truncate it at about 64 characters, so if you have a longer title than that, when your page shows up in the SERPs, it’s likely to be shortened so if an important word is at the end of it (which you shouldn’t do, because people skim-reading are less likely to spot it) it might be missed of.
In terms of <meta description>, if you’ve written more than the search engines show in a snippet, they will try to extract the relevant bits of the description for use in the snippet, so again it will show bits of your text with lots of … and … around - it doesn’t look quite as slick, but if you need to use those extra words to give a full description, don’t be afraid to do so.
In terms of <meta keywords>, Google doesn’t pay any attention to it at all. I doubt that other search engines would penalise you, except inasmuch as if you’re putting 50 keywords down for your page, they will probably not consider it as relevant to any of those words as if you’d only put 5 keywords down.
title must be 100 character with keyword stuffed.
description must be 250 character with keyword stuffed.
keywords must be up to 1000 character.

Nothing happens. Meta tags are still part of basic on page optimization for me but it gives no more major impact in search engine rankings.
There wont be any penalty for the same. But if you overdo it or stuff it with keywords, then you can stand a chance of getting penalised for spamming. If there is no spamming and you still cross the number of characters nothing serious will happen. But Google says that one can very well describe the page in its title in the specified number of characters. If one fails to do so, then surely the person is trying too hard to do something that Google doesn’t approve.
you mean masking the words in the same colour as the background? yup google penalizes that!
nope check out some google sites, they have more than 100 words in the meta
