Concentrating on only one keyword at a time?

I am wondering if I would get penalized by search engines by concentrating on only one key word phrase at a time. Then once I received a first place position move on to another term. Would this get me in trouble?


For example getting on the first page for "race car parts" then once I acheive that move onto to "corvette parts". Anyone see a problem with doing seo like this?

 

I don't think there is any problem with this. But I suggest mixing keywords would be better, like car race parts, race parts, car parts. In mixing keyword you can target other search terms without knowing you already target it. Just don't over optimize your site too much.

 

Nope.. It wont penalize you.

 

Hi
You can target some of your keywords and if they are working good mix them with other keywords and target them.By doing this you will not loose the keywords which are working good.Hope this will help you.

 

It won't till your content support your primary keyword. What I suggest you better go for long tail keywords if you are into product selling. Focus and primary and you get ranked with some related keywords naturally. Say for example:

Car Parts (Primary one)
car parts - racing ( secondary)
car parts - corvette ( secondary)
long tail: Race car part or corvette parts selling company in NY (need to arrange something like that)

hope this works.

 

Well the thing is the way my site has been built is that each page has targeted a different key word phrase. So basically that page will hopefully rank for that particular keyword phrase.


So I am try to get one page to rank at a time and then move onto the next one. I would think this might look unatural to the search engines.

 

you should target one primary keyword and another couple of related keywords and work on link building for all of them. you can build majority of your backlinks to your primary term and then rest devide to the long tail supplemental terms. targetting a single keyword and building backlink for that term only will flag you on google and google will quickly realize the over optimization

 

do not concentrate on one keyword, spread your keywords, getting to many links with the same keyword might trigger google to look better into your site

 

Don't attract Google's red signal by working HARD on only one keyword. As others suggested already, working on a mix of related keywords but keeping your primary keyword in mind would give you more fruitful results. You'll get rankings for primary as well as other supplementary keywords with same amount of work done.
