    How many keywords should a site be ranked for?
    I have a site with little content, but I want to try to rank my homepage for around 20 keywords. Is this crazy? I want to hit around 3-5 big keywords and then around 15 specific keywords. Basically I'm looking for keyword advice and seo help.

    Currently I'm in the top 3 of (2) specific keywords, and On the first page of big big keyword.
    (My goal is 300 daily search users, I'm getting around 3)

    3 keywords with long tail are good enough to make your site appears on top ranking.

    As much as you can, don't limit yourself by only trying to rank for a few keywords, and DON'T add keywords in the meta tags, as they aren't relevant anymore. I pick a short list of a few keywords that I try to rank for, but I also build links for other keywords that aren't on my list whenever I create new content.

    Hey,

    I know why you are only getting 3 visitors, if you think about it, only the top 5 keywords actually get some sort of traffic. Anything after the 1st page might as well be nothing at all.

    Your goal?

    Try and get yourself to the top of google for a keyword before moving on.

    Good Luck

    You should write regularly on your website. Provide the latest updates in your niche. You never know which article title will become a top search query and you might land on the top of the search engine result.
    Follow the strategy and watch your traffic grow. Stick with the rule of originality.

    Don't limit only to some keywords. Try to get your all the keywords in Google searches.

    Do SEO and SMO for your keywords. Post your keywords and site links to other websites, web directories etc.

    Use other Social Networking Sites like: Facebook,Twitter,LinkedIn etc.

    in my point of view 3 to 4 keywords will be good. more can be responsible for keyword stuffing.

    Don't get obsessed with so many keywords.

    You only have to select that will give more traffic.

    In my keyword researching, I am selecting 15 keywords phrase, 5-8 are categories. The rest, it's up to me.
    In one post, I only optimize one keyword in the post title, post content, SEO title, descriptions and image (optional)

    I don't use tags.

    I have a plugin that could measure to know how much percentage my content is for the selected keyword.

    If you're looking for onsite keyword ranking, and ranking of backlink keywords (through anchors and such), you need a HUGE amount of keywords if you're doing any SEO in earnest.

    Never accept SEO work from someone who limits the amount of keywords you can use. They're gouging the price as well as putting a huge footprint and target on your site.

    If your site has a few keywords that you rank well with, and if one of those keywords are reviewed and are seen to have gained rank through less than totally honest means, you're losing a huge chunk of traffic.

    Keyword research is so important, it is always the first step in any procedure. It takes time, but must be done.

    Do not increase your keyword density, and you can do this by increasing the amount of keywords. Reduce keyword density per post/page to 2-3%.

    That's Not Necessary How many keywords you are Selected. But One thing is important is that you always selected keywords related your website after you are check your keyword density. If the keyword density is low then they are ranking 25 days on google you are working on SEO. But If the Keyword density is high It's take much more time on google. But for my side You are selected 10 keywords to ranking your website on google.
