Okay, I understand that bolding keywords might help you rank higher in search engines for that keyword, as you are giving importance to it, but I am pretty sick of reading blogs that bold every keyword or phrase they want to rank well with.
As a regular visitor, I find it distracting to see so many words bolded. And I really think it makes the blog look spammy and unprofessional.
If you want to attract attention to key words, use them as section headings, bold them once or twice, but not all the time. Otherwise, I won’t be coming back, and I am sure there are others that will agree.

I completely agree with you post! Bolding every word is almost as annoying as 9 million adsense ads

Yeah having so much bold is quite distracting.
Another thing that would be beneficial to readers would be to link those keywords to other helpful posts with in a site and to other sites that have good content.
