How many keywords do you focus on?

    So how many keywords do you focus on with your blog?

    Do you focus on more than one at a time?

    How do you decide what to focus on?

    I have seen some site attain a huge portfolio and some sites attain zero. Start with one and go from there.

    I typically start with 2-3 keywords and see how they go, then rotate. Choose your keywords based on keyword research and the niche you are trying to target.

    Well I focus on 3 Keywords at a time....

    To decide what to focus on you have to see 2 things....

    1. Low Competition
    2. Higher Searches....

    What I mean by that is, that you must have your targeted keywords in low to medium competition and exact searches must be greater than 4k-5k......

    It would really worth working on that keyword.....

    I hope this helps....

    Regards

    You should only focus on about 3-5 KWs per blog comment.

    Starting from long tail 4-5 keywords, which are most relevant and have search count. So you can ranked these keywords soon.

    After panda update we have to focus on large number of keywords. Focusing on few is not applicable for Panda.

    1-3 keywords would just be enough since you just started. Based on experience, don't settle for one phrase keywords because it would be hard for you (or you're optimizer, if you're hiring) in getting your site exposed or indexed on Google. Be specific. The more specific you are with your keyword, the more it is likely for your website to become searchable on Google.

    What you should do:
    1. Keyword research
    2. Check keyword competition
    3. Keyword monthly searches (how many people search for your keyword)

    I am focusing on 5 keywords at the moment, I will increase the keyword list once this 5 keywords position improves.
