On one of the content creation training modules, Kyle explains that our first paragraph should contain one or two of our keyword targets, and then we should write the rest of o
I would say if keywords at any part of a post tap into rich content and customer experience, Google will credit them
Using the same keyword or keyword phrase more often than Kyle recommends is looked on by the search engines as keyword stuffing.That used to be the way to get ranked in the search engines. Now articles that provide a great user experience and answer the questions that real people are asking are the ones that get higher ranking.
I appreciate the response. I guess i should have been clearer tho. I was not necessarily referring to using the same keyword or keyword phrase. I meant using different keyword phrases that might be, for instance, headings for different sections of a longer post. A main keyword, like, "improving your rankings in Google" might be a title for the whole post, but a section two thirds down the body might be "keyword tactics to avoid", and another section even nearer the end might be called "improving user engagement." (no research has been done on these phrases. They're just examples) my question is, can judicious use of multiple low hanging fruit keywords that are different, but, used in a natural or organizational way, throughout the body of a post, generate more traffic or ranking opportunities than a post which only focuses on a single low hanging fruit keyword near the beginning?
As a further clarification, the main question was also looking at how much impact the position or location of the keyword within the post has. i.e. near the beginning vs half way down
This is also a question I had. Sprinkling keywords all throughout the entire post. Good practice?...Or does it matter further into the post you get?
It seems the general consensus is that it is effective to do this, so long as you are not REPEATING keywords (keyword stuffing). At the top of this post, JewelCarol posted a very relevant article on LSI Keywords, which you may also find interesting. I certainly did.

How deep can keywords be buried?

Hey Ernest, not so sure what you are looking for, are you referring to LSI related keywords, to write naturally, maybe you can read my post, pt 1 and 2. :) How To Rank On Google's First Page - In Response to Joy's Post
Interesting. I knew nothing about LSI (not even that it existed), before you showed me this. Thanks very much. It seems my question is somewhat related to LSI, although I wasn't thinking about it in quite the same way. Either way, thanks very much for that link.
