    According to me, use of same keyword as you mentioned in all pages it's not good. Try to use make different title for each page.

    You'd probably be better off incorporating different keywords to different pages. Do a bit of keyword research and find out which ones rank well with your site. Incorporating different keywords on your page gives you a higher chance of "being seen".

    I found a an article through Google that you could check out. It's an SEO checklist and it shows you which SEO tecnhiques are beneficial and which aren't. Not sure if I'm suppose to be posting links here so that title of the article is: Google Ranking Factors -SEO Checklist. Try searching for it.

    Goodluck!

    I agree with OutsourceFactor. It is better to target different keywords on separate pages. I suggest some keywords with low competition and medium-sized searches.

    When you create multiple pages targetting the same keyword, IMO it's best to make the first page the exact keyword for the page title. Next, create the rest of the keyword pages with relevant text between the main keywords.

    Example:

    Keyword: [canada visa]

    Main Page Title: <title>Canada Visa Requirements</title>

    Additional Internal Page titles:
    • <title>Visiting Canada: Temporary Resident Visas</title>
    • <title>Visa Offices outside Canada</title>
    • <title>Canadian Temporary Resident Visas</title>
    • <title>Visa and Immigration Information From the UK to Canada</title>

    Notice the additional text between the main keywords (Canada Visa).

    If both the titles are different and adding this keyword just in the title of the homepage won't cause much of the problems.

    But try to target this keyword on the dedicated page only. It will help in getting ranked fast as search engines will find that page relevant. Also, add this keyword in meta tags, body copy, alt on the dedicated page.

      That's fine as long as all you care about is ranking a single page, but why rank a single page when you can rank 2-3 internal pages for the [exact] same keyword.

      Not ranking multiple pages for the [exact] same keyword is wasted traffic. Traffic doesn't end at SERP position #1.
