How many "Target Keywords" should a site have.

[cooldude007]

At least 5 or below.. Because if you choose many keywords you will be the one who will have problem ranking it.. A few good keywords may help.. In order for the SEs make it natural in terms when you link build for it...

I agree with cooldude007 the keywords should be few with appropriate research and should contain long trail key phrase as it's better way to handle and get better results in searching.

Thanks everyone,

for your response to my keyword?

I agree with the long tail keywords, as proof they pay off take my website homepage title:

Resonate Seo Sem Web Standards & Web Analytics Consultancy

Now if we compare my long tail keyword to Google's results for my keywords i get the following:

Resonate Seo = 1 (obviously)
Seo Consultancy = 1st in Google
Web Standards Consultancy = 1st in Google
International Seo Consultancy = 2nd in Google
Web Analytics Consultancy = 13 in Google

As you can clearly see that one title covers a wide range of my keywords all from that one title.
