SEO question about keywords?

[~~Angie~~]

Hi,
I'm learning web site building and have a question about search engine optimization (SEO). Is it better to have one group of keywords/metatags for the whole site, or should I make seperate set of keywords for each page, based on its' content?
My hosting and site builder gives me that option, but I dunno whats best.
Thanks

Generally you should use keywords specific to the page's content, so that search engines can appropriately categorize your page.

For your site overall you should have keywords referencing the site (e.g. in CSS master pages, summary pages, etc), but for specific pages or blog posting or articles your keywords should reflect the specific content.

Without question you will ideally do specific meta tags (title, description and keywords) for every specific page. You should target one phrase or 3 or 4 words per page.

The keywords in the meta tags should also be in the page content and of a density of 3-10% ideally (that means the words you are targetting for that page).
