Multi Keyword Management - Best Practice

I'm looking for advice on best practice.

Like most warriors I'm spending endless hours researching and finding valuable niche keywords. I am confident that my process works and regularly hit winners as I call them. My challenge is however, on the management side of KWs in terms of building rank and moving up the SERPS. At present I'm at 50 KWs and for each I'm doing all the usual stuff viz. BLs, articles, blogs, forums, achors, social signals, bookmarks etc. etc. etc. But this takes for ever to do and manage. At the rate I'm going, I'll be at 100 in 2 months and I dread thinking of the time investment in managing all these.

What does everyone else do? Same or are you [like I'm contemplating] zooming in on say 10 key top performing KWs and focus on managing these while "forgetting" the rest?

In terms of BL's. And good advice re multi KW management other than manual BL creation and the occasional fiverr (note I go for value, high authority, low external link sites). I always discount blasts, wheels and pyramids - even if multi tiered.

Thx. in advance

Cheers,

    Get yourself a nice excel spreadsheet! Maybe jump onto seomoz and use the tools there.

      Oh - I have that. Trust me. Doesn't remove the manual labor though.

    Most of my clients have anywhere from 40 - 150 keywords in their campaign.

    You do not really need to focus on every single keyword. In one niche, they tend to be fairly closely related. Search engines are not stupid. You will find that as your rankings improve for the keywords you are targeting, a lot of the related ones will improve too without you directly focusing on them.

    For a single person doing all these stuffs is too difficult. I do not follow any strict guideline.
    Just one notepad for each blog for max 10 low competing keywords.

      Hi lucasbowen,

      If you are just one person doing all of the work then a well designed spreadsheet should do the trick.

      Since we have employees in multiple locations, that work as a team, I built a custom database application for our internal use. It is web based so that clients can view reports and see work being done in near real time via a secure web app. If you find there is no good commercial application available, let me know and I'll consider releasing a public version for those in need.
