If you really want a good answer this is how you'd do it.

at first select up to 10, no more, then narrow them down by best results 3 or 4 days later, now you should have a few say 3-5 Do not any more than that. the 3 or 4 keywords need to be....
buy keywords = specific product keywords like the exact name of a product Model Number brand ect
IE S2 Sports® Walkman MP3 PlayerspacerNW-S205F

Narrowed down Keywords are similar to
sony walkman mp3 player

intry keywords are topic keywords
MP3 Player

the keywords are treated like such Intry Keyword is when a browser wants something but doesnt know the name of it

Narrowed down keywords are when the customer knows the brand but not the model

Buy Keywords are when the cusomer knows exactly what they want

NOTE: Each keyword you have in your meta tag must show up somewhere in the body of the html or you will be penalized

It is better to have 3 -5 specific keyword phrases rather than 15 general kw's in general
S2 Sports Walkman MP3 PlayerspacerNW-S205F this can be 1 Keyword or Keyword phrase like so
meta content="S2 Sports Walkman MP3 PlayerspacerNW-S205F, Sony, mp3 player,

I'd stick to around 3 or 4 keywords - and for each page, use different keywords. I'd use the same keywords as part of your title as well.

Then use these keywords when you link to that page.
