Agreed with Some points like "make your niche more targeted and get specific long tail keywords". These tips are basics but still plays huge role, if you apply they properly.
Good platform to start from, I would say. Great for beginners. I also like the way you try to be as illustrative as possible. Thanks for sharing.
Why narrow your site to particular subject ? It wont make any difference. Google will treat every page independently.
I agreed...need not to narrow a site to particular topic...when u can hav n no. of pages on it for different topics and Google will treat them independently Moreover u can narrow every page to specific concept...with targeting only 1 primary keyword for that particular page...on-page (keyword density) and off-page (anchor text in backlinks)
