keyword help please

repeated word in keywords

[flyingpep]

Hello,
Could someone let me know about any limit on keyword variations. I use several terms that have a similar word (ex. childrens books, childrens toys, childrens furniture, childrens reading, childrens learning).

Am I right to think that this is ok? I am not trying to repeat 'childrens' over and over just to come up under a search for 'childrens'. I'm just trying to cover all available keywords that someone might find me under.

Any advice would be a great help,
flyingpep

I would target each keyphrase on different pages. Trying to have a catch all page won't work real well. Create original content that addresses each keyphrase on different pages. On each page use that page's specific phrase in the title, filename, linked texted, and pepper the phrase through the content.

korkus2000, your reply reminds me to ask a related question that I've had on my mind for a couple of updates.

I had read about using pages each focussing on one keyword phrase, so I set this up. Each page has got plenty of unique content and is well optimised for the phrase using the technique you describe. Despite this, and despite the fact that they have all been indexed for two months and have PR4 (home page has PR5) the best SERP for EVERY one of the twelve keyword phrases is still held by my home page! This is despite the fact that several of the phrases are not on the home page, only individual words from them, scattered through the text.

Are you quite sure about this 'Trying to have a catch all page won't work real well' thing?
