    I used to go for more long tail keywords that would rank faster for. It's much quicker this way too . Of course, you also want to to ry and rank for other keywords on the side.

    The number of keywords you choose, whether few or a lot, will not have any major impact on your search engine rankings - do whatever you'd like - it doesn't matter. You're placing emphasis on the wrong thing.

    the number doesn't matter, what matters is if they are specific to your niche! I suggest that you use long tail keywords and optimize your site well

    Hi, I am not quite sure in what your asking.

    If you are talking about on-page seo, then yes using just one keyword loads of times is called 'keyword stuffing' and is seen as spammy by google

    But as you try to rank, also consider the keyword intent, basically trying to figure out what the searcher really wanted when they type the particular keywords. It will reduce the bounce back rate and I think this is also important to the search engines while determining your rank.

    If you are writing in a niche, think about a single longtail keyword for each of your articles. Remember it's going to be individual pages that gain rank.

      I would never doubt that 4-5 keywords worked for you, however, in the SEO game, didn't you fear your own pages stealing some of the authority from others in your site? I have seen in the last couple of years that it was better to target a single longtail keyword for each article or page.

    Keyword is dying man. Your contents cannot be focus mainly on keywords.

    Now consider this: how will this content help your business even if you rank on the first page of Google?

    You need to focus on the intents that are behind those keywords.

    One keyword can have more than 10 intents buried inside it.

    If your content can satisfy the end users, and with few links thrown its way: it will surely rank.
