    How many keywords according you we should target for a particular page?

    • http://www.hacktabs.com/ Anoop

      You can target as many keywords as you want provided that it does not affect the content in bad way! i.e your article should not look like its keyword stuffed or unreadable.

    Hi Anoop!

    Great Site sir!
    You stated that, “A good keyword is one with Less than 30 – 50K Search results.” Do you think a keyword searched in (” “) with the results 12k to 15k is too low or is perfect? Or does it all depend on the keyword(s) searched for?

    Thanks Anoop!

    • http://www.hacktabs.com/ Anoop

      This article is outdated. Will rewrite soon.

  • http://groomsspeechreview.com steve fitzpatrick

    When you say its outdated is that because there are every increasing web pages so the search criteria can be increased? I’m finding it impossible to find long tail keywords for the golf niche. I’ve only found 1 under 25k and its not really relevant to my product? Any advice? The grooms speech site I have created has 70,000 for the main keyword “grooms speech” and I’m struggling to see any success with it.
