Hello everyone I'm running a WP Blog [4+ months old], now getting some average traffic from my targeted keywords. But the problem is I need help to get more & more. To improve more I tried to update contents of the posts getting good traffic. Now I need to post more topics with those keywords. Is that good ?? Many described continuous use of same keyword may penalize me. Also I'm keeping up posts with new keywords.

So the main question is should I repeat keywords getting me good traffic ??
If NO, should I mix up similar keywords ? If I concentrate on new keywords , I may lost traffic from targeted keywords too.

Awaiting your valuable suggestions.

    You will not be penalized by continuous use of same keywords gut if you target new keywords then you may lost traffic from your website. your ranking may also get decreased.

    if you think about it, Google actually loves websites with a single focus.

    And makes it very hard for webmasters to rank websites that tries to pretty much cover everything.

    Yoast is a good tool but it does not mean you should always follow its (automatic) advice.

    Tips:
    Have I mined keyword research resources?
    Is the keyword phrase relevant?
    Are we buying this keyword phrase through paid search?
    Am I already ranking for the keyword phrase?
    Will my new page adequately mention the keyword phrase?
    How much traffic is my website receiving for the keyword phrase?
    Am I getting website traffic for similar keywords?
    Is this keyword phrase (or similar phrases) already converting?

    In a Particular content you can use your same keyword not in the topic, Topic should be something different.

    If you constantly create internet content without thinking through search engine optimization (SEO) and keywords, you will rank for something (content does resonate with search engine algorithms). Yet, you will consistently run the risk of shortchanging your SEO strategy — and your company’s ability to grab its fair share of relevant search engine traffic — for branding, conversions and more.

    It’s not uncommon to run right to Google for ideas (though your AdWords account provides more in-depth data than this free tool), but Keyword Discovery, WordTracker, and other tools can provide additional insights. I’m partial to SEMrush, which suggests possible keywords that you may have overlooked in your own pages and posts (it analyzes more than 95 million keywords). You can also tune into the words people use at Social Mention. I’ve even checked the index at the back of a book for ideas.

    Reaping keywords looks like over optimized to search engines, hence it is not advisable to do that. You can definitely increase your traffic by sharing content through social media.

    If you target same keyword, your own posts will start competing on Google.

    Do not use the exact keywords everywhere, You have to make them partial, put them in expression and use them as a keyword and change the expression every time.

    Yes, you are right if the change the keyword you may loose current traffic which you are getting for your website. Though no need to change the keyword and keep on targeting on same keyword. Try to use something new by using those keywords only.
