The first keyword is the main keyword that the page is focused on. The next keywords are related or synonym keywords but must not repeat the main keyword. Each keyword should then be separated by a comma. If a string of keywords is used, then a coma should be placed after each string.

The last two of the five can be general keywords or the keyword of the site theme.
