Hey!

I'm kind of confused about this. As my homepage will display the latest post(s) and header, banners etc. and no specific article, how am I supposed to target a keyword to it?

Am I supposed to make it so that my home page shows one of my articles (which is optimized for the keyword) ?

Would appreciate some clarification on this

    Yes you are correct.

    The article should be keyword optimized (do a search here).

    Also, you should adjust the META Keywords and META Description as well as the title tag

    If you are using wordpress adjust the Tags and Categories to match your keyword.

    Then build backlinks via methods found on this board.

    Hope that helped.

    Well, this should be easily done with your Title or Description (or even keywords in the sitewide! -> Not fully recommended!) // Your website's title is presented on each page of your blog (and also your description if you have any!). Moreover the title will give you a much more weight for your keyword, so try to place it inside the title. Then try to optimize your inner pages for different keywords and your homepage for your main keyword!

    So I should make it so that the front page would always show one of my keywords, instead of showing the latest posts?

    Another newbie question; Does every articles I post make it's own page? Or what does having pages exactly mean?

    I feel like an idiot
