My burning question about articles

by Ethan W.
2 replies
So I've had one question thats burning a whole in me. It deals with article keyword search.

Basically I want to hear your opinions on what to do with this situation.

Question #1 - How many keywords do you target in each article you write? 1?2?3?4?

Question #2 - How many articles do you dedicate to the same keyword?

Question #3 - If you have 5 keyword phrases that are relatively the same (ex. gain muscle, gain muscle mass, how to gain muscle mass, gaining muscle mass... etc) Do you create separate articles for each of this keyword phrases or do you write one article basing it around one of these keywords and loosely use all the other keywords within it?

Thanks guys,
Ethan W.

    I usually target one or two keywords in the same article.

    And about the density - three or four doesn't work if the article is 700 words long. You have to go by a percentage. Places like EZA require 1.9% keyword density or less. That means for a 500-word article, you shouldn't list the keyword any more than 9 times.

    And I usually pick a passle of 20 or so keywords and do one article per keyword.

    Question #1 - How many keywords do you target in each article you write? 1?2?3?4? One main keyword, but it helps to sprinkle a few secondary phrases and LSI keywords, as well. Make sure the main keyword is in the title and used more often in the article than the others. I typically use the main keyword about 1 in every hundred words and then the secondary keywords once or twice each, if it sounds good.

    Question #2 - How many articles do you dedicate to the same keyword? As many as you can come up with new angles for.

    Question #3 - If you have 5 keyword phrases that are relatively the same (ex. gain muscle, gain muscle mass, how to gain muscle mass, gaining muscle mass... etc) Do you create separate articles for each of this keyword phrases or do you write one article basing it around one of these keywords and loosely use all the other keywords within it? If they only get searched a handful of times, then I wouldn't do a separate article for each one, but use them within one article. If they all get searched a lot, though, definitely create one for each keyword.

    Thanks guys,
