Google Optimization For Two Main Keywords

Need Help Regarding This....

[wfernley]

I want to optimize my homepage for my main two keywords "shiny widgets" and "green widgets"

What are the best ways of optimizing my site for Google for two keywords like those. Should I make the keyword "shiny green widgets" very prominent on my website? Would that work for the keyword "shiny widgets" because it now has "green" in the middle?

If anyone can help that would be great!

thanks in advance for your help.

i would optimize for "shiny widgets" "green widgets"
"shiny green widgets" "green shiny widgets" variations always help imo...

Would the word "widgets" be an overload for Google? The density of that word would be very high on my website and I was curious if that would effect my rating in a bad way.

The touchy spot, in my experience, would be if "widgets" appears too often in link text, not just regular text. If you write the regular body copy with your users in mind, you will probably find that both keywords can work out quite naturally for you.

Why? Does your ISP only give you one page? Where does the requirement that traffic for two different search terms have to arrive at the same page arise from?

Easy. Build a list of two hundred related search terms; these should be more specific than your "main" terms (e.g., "How to polish shiny widgets", and "green widgets review", and "shiny widget glare problems", etc.). Build a page targeting each of these more specific terms. On each of these pages, have a relevant link pointing to the (preferably two) page(s) devoted to the "main" term(s) being targetted.

Thank you for your posts.

I'm not hosting on my ISP. My website is just over 10,000 pages. Most of my traffic comes to my home page. That is the page that is also ranked the highest for both keywords. I figured it would be best to optimize that page for those two keywords because it already has a high ranking and it has an overview of what my site offers.

Ah... logic!

Big mistake trying to use logic.

Haha oh yeah? Maybe I should turn to some black-hat tactics? ;) JK

So maybe I should just create two pages each optimized for one of those keywords.
