Blog ranking

So after some research into blogging I'm left with a simple but rather important question. When you are trying to rank for a keyword, are you trying to rank to your website's homepage or are you writing an SEO optimized article about that keyword to drive traffic to your site? And if that is the case, will the Adsence ads switch to ads regarding that keyword?

Thanks in Advance!

    You should almost always be targeting a keyword for a specific post/page of your site. It's rare that your site's homepage would appear in someone's Google search.

    As for adsense, I couldn't tell you there. I don't use it.

      In time if you write enough articles that relate to your blogs homepage your blogs homepage will rank in google. In the mean time keep writing articles.

    When you're blogging, the goal is to get ranked for a particular keyword that's within a particular page or post (depending on how you have yours set up). Most likely, you will get page rank on various pages (posts) before your site rank changes. Well, that's how it happened for me. I think it's also depends on the competitiveness of the keywords in your url as well. If they're not very competitive and pretty unique (like your name or something), you could see site rank before you see page rank. That's my two cents, anyway.

    Each article should target some main keywords and secondary keywords.

    Thanks, so if im understanding this correctly, the point of articles is to SEO all of your articles to a few main keywords while also including some secondary that pertains to the specific topic of the that article? Or is the point to choose new keywords with every article and rank every article? Please let me know if i have it right

    Thanks for bearing with me!

    all the best,
    Stefan

    If you want to rank the keyword phrase to the home page, article writing is definately a strong way to go. BUT don't have the article spinned! And use Press Releases MORE then article directories!!! Many directories copy the big boys-thus making your article headed to whatever page you are using look sleezy! Press Releases have SO much MORE stick to them.
