I always thought that having as many keywords in your meta tag as possible is best. But it might not actually be.

I know that you need to have the right keyword density to have the Propper SEO done. Don’t over load your page with the same words over and over. Don’t let it look like spam. Make it sound as ligit as possible. If your website is about emails and email marketing, use those words in your content. But don’t use it too much. Don’t make your keywords the only thing people see when they read your content. Make it as informative as possible.
