SEO/Keyword/Google rank question.

I know google ranks the first page of a website and looks at the keywords, but does it consider each page of the website separately?

I just wondered if I could put 7 to 10 keywords on one page, a different set of keywords and different content on page 2 of the same website, a different set of keywords and content on page 3 of the same website, etc., and would google see these pages individually and rank each one to the set of keywords on that specific page?

I wanted to rank the page to a set of keywords, but there are a bunch of keywords with low traffic, say under 10,000 monthly searches per keyword. I thought if I could spread them out over several pages it would be better than trying to put 30 or 40 keywords on one page.

It is a political website, so I am stuck with several specific keywords for a particular local candidate, with low traffic counts.

thanks,

Mickey

    Yeah, Google ranks each page separately. You can rank for multiple keywords on the same page. 7-10 keywords seems like a lot to me, but it would actually depend on the variation between them. If there's little variation, there's no telling how many keywords you can get ranked for. Also, different pages are typically used to rank for different keywords. I hope this helps.

    Good luck,
    Joey

    If you use the typical optimization measures, having the keyword phrase in the meta title (window title), header, and body text, it gets unnatural to have more than a couple of cleverly cobbled together keywords per page.

    Remember off site link anchor text also strengths keyword ranking.

    Treat each page of your website as a different landing page for different purpose, this is how you can optimize on its uniqueness.

      I do believe, and based on experience, that Google also considers the entire site as a whole. You can definitely see that some new pages rank faster if a website is already established.

        Well, yeah. Google is not going to view new pages the same as new websites!

    Yes Google indexed and rank each page individually.it crawls page individually and rank it .you can use various keywords for single page to get ranked and indexed.so it can crawl each page with a different keywords.

    Hi Mickey, Yes it is possible to rank a specific page on your website. In my experience, I have ranked 5 pages on my site with different keywords.

    Google ranks web PAGES - not web sites. (Yes, I know that it considers a site as a whole, but that is not what we are talking about here.)

    When most folks talk about Google ranking a website say #1... what they actually mean is... that the home page is #1.

    Without getting too technical here... build links to the home page, link to other important links from the home page. Build those pages around specific keywords. (I like to concentrate on ONE keyword phrase per internal page.)

    Mickey, the more focused you can be on one page the better. Trying to rank for 7 to 10 keywords on one page is tough (unless there is not much competition at all).

    Imagine having a "perfect" title tag (focused on one keyword phrase), a perfect h1, h2, meta description, use of keyword in content at beginning and at end, use of keyword in image, etc.... then throw in a few inbound links with the keyword in the anchor text. Depending on the competition, you could be "king" for that keyword phrase. Much harder to do with 7 to 10 of them.

      And what they REALLY mean is the home page is #1 for some phrase they are checking...

      There is no #1 without a phrase associated to it.

      Focus on one phrase per page, mix in some other phrases for balance. Create other pages to focus on other phrases, with a mixture of other phrases.

    For the overall site rank, first it needed to value each page rank separately. first google valued each page separately as per the page traffic , page quality content & backlinks. And it also count conversion and bounce rate for valued that page. And after given all pages their value , by some calculation it give the overall site rank which shows the reputation of the site which we known as site page rank.
