Is is it true that Google will not penalize duplicated content found in UL and LI tags?

I've read in a few places now that if you absolutely have to use a key term several times in a piece of copy, then it is preferable to use li and ul tags, as google will not penalise excessive density of keywords found in these tags.  Does anyone know if there is any truth in this?

I have never heard that

• are safe for anything.

  Don't bet on the behavior of Google.

  Also, I don't pay any attention to the number of times that I use a word in copy. None.  I try to write naturally without regard for search engines.

Where did you hear this at? That makes no sense and I have never heard anything like that.

And do not stuff keywords or even try to see if you can get away with it. Thats poor optimization and does not look well for users. Write and design for your users and you should be fine.

Exactly.  **Content is written for the visitors, not the search engines. **

If you are familiar with the subject and are writing naturally, the content will do just fine with all of the search engines, and more importantly your visitors.

Maybe they are not today. I'm not to sure about this like the others I'm asking myself who told you this.

I do recommand you do not to try fooling the big G around. Duplicate content is kind of not so valuable content in the best case. You should use your efforts building great content instead of trying to duplicate.

Because even if it was the case they are not doing it right now, they probably will one day.

From my experience, duplicate is duplicate anywhere you put it !

Thanks for the response,

I've found it here http://www.dailytechpost.com/index.php/8-best-tips-for-css-for-seo/#comment-69311 amongst several other places.  I'm not in to stuffing keywords and fully aware that writing natural prose is the way to go, it was more a reference for where there is an excessive amount of keywords coincidently, such as when using technical terms which cannot be substituted and form part of every element of a text.  Or perhaps if you are talking about a concept and natural prose feels a little repetitive, such as writing about infographics.

** In that case you can use “li” and “ul” tag, moreover Google doesn’t penalize for repeating words under these tags.**

ha ha... that is B.S.   

The author of that does not know how Google handles

• and

  I can imagine Matt Cutts telling people ... "Its OK to stuff the

  • tag guys"

I just read several more articles on that site. Overall junk. I would find a new blog to  get your info from.

Should we go back and read for the laughs?
