Meta tags...Is there such a thing as to many?

[2 FN LOW]

Hows everybody doing...My forum is pretty much a general automotive forum...Open to all cars, trucks and bikes...imports and domestics...as far as meta tags go i could list like 100 different things dealing with anything automotive related from automotive companies down to a few specific models/parts....Should i just go about listing anything and everything automotive related or should i limit myself here? Any suggestions?

i was in the same boat as you, i thought i was going to far also so i had to limit, then one day i thought stuff it and added more and it didnt seem to matter, nothing changed lol.

I am no SEO expert, but, I do think too many meta tags can hurt you. There are some free SEO tester programs that will tell you if you have too many or two few metatags. Here is an okay free one

There's so little weight on keyword meta tags these days. Just think about the main topics for your site and use those. For example... your forums categories. :)

i was being told that many of the search engines like google and yahoo dont even pay attention to meta tags anymore.....i wasnt sure so i figured id add some anyway and ask you guys to see what youd say....
