Ranking With Multiple Keywords

Hi

I have done pretty well so far getting high amounts of traffic and decent rankings for wordpress websites built around a single keyword with an absolute match domain name. I am starting to build a few review sites that target a range of products meaning I'm going to have to try and rank for several keywords rather than just one.

Is there any implications of doing this with wordpress? I assume the best way is to register a domain name with the root keyword and then write posts for each other keyword with a mixture of supporting keywords and sprinkle the root keyword a few times in each post too?

Once I have a few posts is it best to organise these using category menus, tag menus or page menus or does it not make much difference?

Do you find it more difficult to rank in a high position for each keyword when the post is essentially a separate page on a domain with the root keyword?

Obviously it depends on competition too, but in general would this structure and strategy have any major implications?

Any advice or help appreciated!

Thanks
Tim

    Hi
    We have been doing this in a new project, we have had good success in ranking for multiple keywords on one domain by using the related keywords as categories avoid subdomains and use textual links with your keywords in for back linking, make sure your back links are from lots of different types of places such as twitter since google now looks at your following as well as just backlinks.

    we tried different methods such as categories keyword tags and interlinking but the categories always seemed to rank better than just the articles with the keywords in.

    as long as your keywords are related make use you interlink to share the juice from your already ranked pages and use keyword'd cats for your longtails.

    hope that helps

    I don't usually have trouble ranking for any keyword - regardless of how I make the content and whether it even has the keywords in or not (because I get lots of links).

    Unless your niche is really competitive I would just do what makes sense for your readers.

    You must make sure the keywords are always present in your article.

    You must have several headings. Your picture must have alt tags.
