I've been using this technique

hi folks,
I've read in a lot of places that if you have the keyword(s) you're targetting placed multiple times near the top of a website page, it really helps that page's ranking. I've been using this technique, but I just want to make sure, is it true? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Well I'd say sure, it's true... but I think you've overplayed it a little. Search engines all use complicated algorithms that look at many aspects of a website in determining it's ranking. To get top results and rankings, you must ensure that you tailor your website to all of these things. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

Keyphrase at the top helps , but remember to use it judiciously. Too high a keyphrase density near the top can be taken as keyword spamming, besides it will not look good to the visitors also. A good strategy would be - use keyphrase at the title, then in description, then in header text and sprinkle it across the page, keeping in mind the visitors. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

Just watch out... There is such thing as keyword spamming..
So when all these people are saying to "use it judiciously" make sure not to overdo it or you will be kicked out of the rankings altogether. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Can the keywords on top of homepage be the links to other pages or should they be just keywords without links? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Links near the top are going to be treated differently than text. They may help the lower pages rank higher if the source page is ranked well. On page factors are weighted differently in each engine. Some (msn and yahoo) like pretty spammy pages while google tends to like links more than anything. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

I guess if your major targetted keywords are near top of page, you get more weightage for the them. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
