winning the keyword wars

the truth behind the strategies?

[agerhart]

Hello again,
Is it true that one of the best ways to get results is to concentrate on only 1 or 2 keywords for every page?

Yes, in general you should focus your efforts on one or two phrases on a particular page. A page can rank well for multiple phrases, however they are usually secondary variations of the term you target.

Hello agerhart,

I agree that the more specific and fine-tuned your page is to the keyword, the better. Theme optimization suggests to me that you take it down to the smallest or most specific point and then build back through your themes to connect it to the whole. For content on the keyword page itself, I’m sure to throw in as many alternative keyword phrases as I can without messing up the content or density of the page. Really follow your logs and determine what words folks are actually using to get to your page. You may be surprised by the alternative phrases and the actual traffic those phrases bring in.
