    I will be using wordpress and I want to know which one of these 2 are better for seo?
    1.Let's say title of my content is "how to lose weight" and on the keyword(tag), i put "how to lose weight fast" "how to lose weight in 1 day" "how to lose weight quickly"

    2.I make a seperate content with each title "how to lose weight" "how to lose weight fast" "how to lose weight in 1 day" "how to lose weight quickly". So total 5 unique contents. But on the keyword (tag) i just put simple word such as "weight" "lose weight" and etc.


    Which one do you think is better in terms of google's page rank and seo.

    Number 2 is better. Just show keywords once. If there is a plural or other variation, you can show them too (weights, faster, fastest, quickest) if they appear in the page content.

    Many SEOs will tell you that the keyword meta tag is worthless. That may be true, but it is a fundamental element of page structure and not using it is sloppy, lazy, and unprofessional (in my opinion).

    Longcall is right with that, you should still put keywords into that meta tag.
    I would also suggest you to go for number 2, just make sure you don't just give the exact same article 5 different titles since that would be dupe content. For the keyword meta tags, make them relevant as well to what the content is about. Make use of relevant headings and don't stuff your page with keywords. Also think of a proper page structure, it would be great if you had your links look like yourkeyworddomain.com/weight-loss/how-to-lose-weight-fast etc.

    Yes second will be better. You should also build quality links with good variations in your anchor text that would help you. try to have the main keyword first in the title and also in upper part of the body.
    Try to make the keyword look important with H1 tags and bold or italic. There are many basic fundamentals of seo which you should read.
    Best of luck for your site.

    don't bother with seo. use 3rd party service and guaranteed you'll be on top.

    If you are using "how to lose weight fast" this title then it targeted 2 keywords how to lose weight & how to lose weight fast. SO it is a better option

    This is like the worst SEO question of all time. I can automatically tell as soon as Google crawls your website and it sees the keywords "how to lose weight" your gonna go straight to the sandbox for a year. Losing weight is a highly competitive and spammy niche.

    What I would do is find some keywords with only like 100 searches a month. Optimize your website for those. As you build your website you could then move into the "how to lose weight" niche.

    Agree with CameronHamilton. Use keyword tools like keyword elite, micro niche finder or market samurai will help you.

    Always think 1.) the number of search for exact match 2.) the number of search result for exact match when picking keywords.

    If you want to go further, you can spy on the website that ranked for the keywords identified.

    The second way is much better.
    Meta keywords are not so important like other on-page elements but they still do something.
