Please Help- Confusion about how to Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization and Keyword Stuffing
The anchor text you use internally doesn't really hold much weight. If you want to rank for that keyword then just use it as your URL and don't worry about the internal anchor text. As for the meta description, yes you can keep the keyword in there but keep in mind that has no relevance to Google's positioning of your page. Your META description is simply used to entice the reader. Don't attempt to stuff keywords in there. If they fit in naturally (or by 'accident') then fine. If not forget about it. Just make that description read as awesomely as you can. This is what will convince the potential reader to click on your page so it is vital. (Same thing with Titles which are arguably even more important) In other words, just market it and get people interested in it first. Forget about the search engines. They'll get interested in it if people get interested in it. Hope this helps.

Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization. Please Help
Writing content with the keywords you want to rank is great, but just don't overuse them. There's a thin line between mentioning the keyword and stuffing an article with it. There's been a lot of chatter about the percentage of how many times your keyword should be mentioned within the text, however, I suggest you go with a "user target" in mind. Don't build content for search engines, build it for users!
