Rankings just tell you how "active" you are within the community. Answering questions, Blogging, Provide training.. ect..

I wouldn't worry about rank. Its not really helping you with your online business. I would help when you can.

hope this helps.

I knew I'd written something about this :) Here it is: Advertiser or Publisher?

I personally shoot for one.

It becomes the heart of my headline and the article I will write around it. But you will also rank for related keywords or for what is called LSI keywords.

Some will make sure that they have some of these LSI or related keywords in there text, meta description, sub headers, etc...

I have seen one of my posts in the past rank for a related keyword because of that.

But when I write today I don't really worry about keywords except for my main one.

I just write naturally in a way that will make sense to the readers, that will deliver what the headline is promising and be helpful for them.

I think you are asking how many seperate keywords you can use per post, not how many times you use a keyword per post? That is a question that I have asked myself and others many times. The conclusion I came to is that you should generally only use one per post, and placed into your post in three spots, your title, first paragraph and last paragraph.

Based on what I have learned by doing Google searches, no more than 2 seperate keywords per post. One is better. You can also change those keywords if you realize you made a mistake in choosing it, however whatever you do, do not change your Permalinks or Slugs after your post or page has been indexed, it will cause errors for your google search console in crawl searches. Make sure you place your keyword in the SEO portion below your post, also in your META description.

Make it a habit each time you write a new post or page. That way you know at first glance, from your dashboard, which keyword you used so you don't use it again in a another post or page.

Should be around 3 times in a post between 1000 and 1500 words. Just don't get hung up with how many times your keywords are included. The biggest thing is that the keyword actually fit,and that the post flows well.

Hey James,

The suggestions I have been heeding are that I never use one keyword more than 3 times in a 1000 word post. However, I do offer more than one keyword in the same articles so that the post will have a better chance of ranking for more than one keyword.

Hope this helps you.

You should target one keyword per post, James. So write a separate post for each keyword.

while we do shoot for around a thousand words--it is the quality and not the quantity that really matters---make sure to include great keywords in your post
