How many keywords do you work on at a time?

Is it better to focus on a couple at a time, until they rank high on the first page, or do you just do you just go after 10, 20, 30....simultaneously? What's your approach and why is it best?

    Focus on siloing or categorizing your site. Each category becomes a page under which you can optimize content for keywords related to that category. Maybe you can have an article each for every keyword in that category.

    Excellent question. I see so many people who attempt to go with 50 keywords for one page. If they can make that happen then I wish them well.

    I personally choose 3-5 tightly related keywords per page while only having 1 keyword phrase that I am ultimately targeting per page. I add this information to the meta keyword information. Yes, I know that there are those who say meta keywords no longer matter. I personally disagree, and they certainly help me keep organized for content on each page I am working with.

    If I happen to desire more keywords for a particular page I can gain them very easily by running backlink campaigns rather than attempting to on-page optimize my way into oblivious confusion.

    I also make sure to use free tools like the one referenced in my signature below to promote my pages as well as promoting the backlinks that I build from external sources which lead to my Website.

    Hope that helps.

      I would like to work on 4 to 5 keywords at a time for a greater concentration and success.

    I tried working on 19 keywords at a time, then if they got on page 1 i reduce the list

      I'm sticking to 3-5 (I'll start new ones as the first 3-5 begin to rank high on page 1)

      I've tried doing 20 at a time and it's just not realistic for me. I get much better results focusing on fewer sites at once.

    1-3 keywords per page and only if they're very close

    I will create my entire list of keywords and secondary keywords first so that I know that the website organization will be solid.

    As far as actually creating content and building backlinks I focus on the homepage and 2-5 keywords at a time.

    I tend to do about three at a time and let some of the longtail ones fall into place on their own for the most part.
