Handling keyword repetitions

Hi all,

I was wondering what people's views are on regarding keyword repetitions found in many web documents. Sometimes they're in the <TITLE></TITLE> tags and sometimes they form a large block at the bottom of the page.

Obviously the authors of such pages are trying to score higher ratings on the index catalogue searches.

Should catalogues really index these keyword repetitions?

Regards,
Dave Weeks.
