Where to put my keywords

Hey guys, I am new to affiliate marketing and I am going to be promoting a CB product. I am going to be writing articles and driving traffic to my blogs. My question is, where exactly do I put my long tail keywords? Do they have to be in the Title of my article to rank up on Google or to get more traffic? I understand that I need to build my articles around my long tail keyword but is it crucial to put it in your Title? Currently I have 3 good long tail keywords I plan to use, but I am going to be writing 2-3 articles a day for about 20 days.

DO I need to find more long tail keywords in order to write this many articles? Or am I going to be able to re-use the long tail keywords over and over.

The reason I ask is because if I have to put my long tail keyword in the title, I can imagine writing 20 articles all with the same Title and sending them to the same article site.

I would appreciate all the advice I can get. Thanks in advance!

    Whatever you do make sure to have a unique page title for every single page, otherwise Google will dump most of the pages into the supplemental index & they'll never be seen by anyone doing a Google search.

    You need to branch off a little on the root keywords you already have.

    If your root keyword is car, break it down to be more exact for your internal article pages, like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, that would be three individual pages.

    Or, you could break that down even further, example Ford=Mustang, Chevy=Camaro, Dodge=Charger.

    Now I can create a page title like "2012 Ford Mustang Rocks Auto Show".

    I did 3 things with that title:

    1) 2012 - Google likes dates
    2) Ford Mustang - I was very specific what brand + model vehicle
    3) Auto - I used the keyword auto which is an alternative to the root keyword we started with (car).

    Good work Yukon, thumbs up for you

    at topic starter, as suggested by yukon, you should use different titles for every page in order to be the favourite one in the Big G eyes.. just try to bring versatility with the keywords placement, surely, it will help you a lot, and will take you in safe band.

    Okay, thanks guys. I understand what you saying about making each title page unique, but does the title have to be keyword rich? What I mean by that is that I have a longtail keyword that I did a lot of research on to make sure it will compete, but do I have to put that longtail keyword in my TITLE? Or will google still pick up those keywords if they are in my article in anchor text?

    For instance, my longtail keyword is "naturally getting rid of acne"
    Does that need to be in the Title in order to rank in the google pages?

    I plan on building my article around my longtail keyword but will I still be able to rank in google if that longtail keyword is not in the title?

    If someone searches in google, " naturally getting rid of acne" and I do not have that keyword in my Title but I have it in my article several times, will it still show up? Or does it absolutely have to be in the Title in order to get noticed?

    Sorry if that is confusing but I worked really hard on trying to find a few long tail keywords that weren't too competetive but had high Global monthly searches. I dont want to write articles around that keyword if it is not going to get read because I dont have the longtail keyword in the Title. Thats what im afraid of.

    Thanks again!

      You don't have to include the exact keyword phrase for every single page.

      Out of this longtail keyword "naturally getting rid of acne" I would at the very least include the word "acne", once in the page title for half of the article pages.

      Still you need to find similar alternative words, to help Google see your site as an uthority in skin conditions (example: rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, etc...). Just don't overdue it on the alternitives, you don't want to dilute the root keyword "acne" to much, again keep at least half of the page titles including the word "acne".

      On the alternative keyword pages, use the root keyowrd "acne" inside the article, & create an internal link with keyword anchor-text pointing back to another page that does include the root keyword "acne" in the page title.
