How To Use Keywords In Your Articles
The general rule of thumb is, you go for several keywords at the same time but you will have one main keyword. This main keyword is also going to be the name of your article.You will want to use this keyword in the opening paragraph, a few times throughout the article, and again toward the bottom. I don't always follow this exact formula. I tend to write more for the reader and sometimes this does not always read the best but do it when you can.
The otherkeywords you picked up are sure to get some traffic as well if you can find a meaningful way to place them in the article. I don't care how good the word is, if it doesn't fit don't use it.
Thank you for taking the time to read =)

Good one Ty. Found it interesting that you will look for under 100 competition sometimes, because you know you're guaranteed to land on the first page. For articles, I've been looking for 350 or under, and monthly searches of at least 500, usually much more. If I like the sound of the keyword phrase, I'll go for it. With LSI, you have some keywords you never planned. I like that you write for the reader.

well i don't specifically look for KWs with less than 100, I just use them when i find them, even if the monthly searchers are really low,
I want people to understand that guidelines for KW research is just that, guide lines, don't be afraid to fight for KWs with higher competition, if it's getting 10k or more monthly searches.
At he same time don't be scared to use a low competition KW, that gets very little traffic, not every KW you use has to be with in a specified range.

Put your KW into Google with quotes around it, then you have to go to the last page of results on Google, in the example in page 3 of this training, that is page 44, that may vary depending upon the keyword you are looking for, it says there are 438 websites that are good enough for Google to bother showing you.
If you look at the photo at the bottom of page 3 of this training, "Exactly How Much Competition Is There?" you will see what I mean, if you read what it says closely it will says
"In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 438 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."
The reason they omit those results is because basically the rest of the websites competing for that KW are junk.
So 438 is the number of competition you are dealing with.
I hope that made sense, but if you are still confused let me know, I will keep explaining it till it does make sense =)
