Tips and duplicate content

[acraigi]

Hello, we have a search site that offers tips to help with search/find.

These tips are organized on the site in xml format with commas...

of course the search parameters are duplicated in the xml so that

we have a number of tips for each search parameter.

For example if the parameter is "dining room" we might have 35 pieces

of advice - all less than a tweet long.

My question - will I be penalized for keyword stuffing - how can I avoid this?

of course, it depends how much other content you have and are creating.

There is also the question of WHAT are you trying to rank on. The keyword stuffing penalty generally hits when the keyword stuffing is excessive and uncalled for.

You will probably not rank for "dining room" in the top 10 if the rest of your content is automatically generated. As a very general rule: do not use the keyword on a page more that 25 times and do not exceed 10% keyword density. BUT it may vary from case to case, from keyword to keyword, from market to market.
