Keywords Meta tag
Keywords meta tag does not influence the search engine listings. Most people ignore this tag. You could use the keywords used in the page content.
Keywords in links

ALT attribute in images
The "Alternative Text" of images that are linked to other pages is counted by the search engines. You should use the keywords in ALT attribute.
Content on a page
The page content must have 500-3000 words. More number of words increase the search engine visibility.
Keyword Density
Keyword Density is a measure of keyword expressed as a percentage. For example if you are using the keyword "software" 6 times on a page containing 100 words then the keyword density is 6%.
The keyword density is one of the critical factor. If low, the search engines may not consider. If high, search engines may think spam. High keyword density or low keyword density will lower your webpage position in the search engine listings.
Keyword Placement
The targeted keyword or keyphrase must be closer or in the beginning of a paragraph so that it appears more important. Use the targeted keyword in H1 & H2 tags. Search Engines pay more attention to these tags.
