Hi Friends...!

How many Target Keywords should a Site have?

 

[webtraffic]

Are you referring to meta tag keywords?

I don't think google even crawls "keyword" meta tags anymore?

I think we should not target more than four keywords on website targeted pages.

 

[MichaelBowden]

Target keyword depends on web pages in the website. I think you must prepare the keyword according your site services and functionality but generally 3 keywords per page best option.

Hey Plcindia,

More specifically you should target one keyword and its variants for every page of your site. Even though that is true, there are pages that you really cant optimize for target keywords depending on your business. For instance your privacy policy, your about us page, your contact us page are all places that can be difficult to optimize. Other than that, you should optimize each page for a keyword phrase. The number of pages that you can realistically optimize for target keywords is the number of keywords you can target.

Note that by adding a blog to your site, you can target substantially more keywords than you otherwise could.

Hope that helps,

Regards,
Pryidev

Really a good and helpful information is provided by you. Is the factor keyword density applies here?

I agree with his post. You must decide a keyword with high search volume , low competition and relevant to your websites pages. In this way if your website has five pages you can target five keyw

Hi Friends...!

How many Target Keywords should a Site have?

Target keyword are depend on your site and their niche.We can not exactly say how many keyword should be there?If your site related to highly competative niche then you have to choose proper keyword to beat your competitors.

Ya choosing proper keywords is really essential, but don't you think if there will be a bulk of proper keywords placed in the sites, then also Google will find it inappropriate for its standards.

Ya its right! Bulk of keywords in the websites content makes it Spammy! A keyword density of 2-3 % should be maintained. This is enough for Google's bot to crawl.

Targeted keywords has no limit. It depends on your business services. You can define or target your service in many types.

Yes buddy! Agree with you. But I have heard about Meta Keywords that they should have to be maximum 5 otherwise your site grade will fall, is it true?

 

[William]

More particularly you need to target its own versions and one keyword for each page of your website. Despite the fact that that's accurate, there are pages which you actually can't optimize for target keywords depending upon your company. Apart from that, you must optimize each page for a phrase. The amount of pages you could practically optimize for target keywords will be the variety of keywords you'll be able to target.

 

[accountingguru]

Your keywod should be like informational and low competitions means get traffic your site easily . As well as sub 1 to 2 keywords .

 

[JakePeter]

One keyword per page is sufficient, but it will depend upon websites requirement, one can use different versions of keyword also.

 

[Stephen Seabrook]

According to need of any site, number of target keyword per page can be change, It may change according to optimization of page also.

 

[MarkBenson]

It will definitely depend upon website's requirement although one keyword at a page is also good, one should avoid bulkiness of same keyword in a page.

 

[Hrkjds]

If you are asking how many keywords a website can have, then it does not have any limit. You can optimize as many as keywords for your website as you can't say from typing which keyword,people will reach your website..

 

[Paban]

There is not limit of keywords to a site..you can optimize as much as keywords..

 

[brad]

Every page of a website depends on some keywords that should be targeted for seaches. Generally targeted keywords are placed in meta tags but content must have it.

 

[Paban]

Paban

How can you say that targeted keywords are placed on meta tag?It does not have any value..

 

[Selvass]

yes google no longer crawl's the meta tag keywords anymore but as a general practice it's better to have no more than 10 keywords in a site

 

[Paban]

Paban

From where have you get that?How is it better to have 10 keywords?

 

[SEO Land]

Its up to the site content and on you that how many keywords you want to target for your site.
Anyways, i think 3-5 keywords are sufficient to be targeted for a web page.

 

[Tashiads]

A Site rank for as many as keywords is a benefit for the site..so there is no specific number of keywords that a site should have..

 

[Jenny]

I think it depends on the requirement of your page, but it should not overloaded so that it looks over optimized in other words it should not look like that there is a keyword stuffing in the content which may lead to dropping in your website rank.

 

[diegozacarias]

Each page can have its own keyword(s), so if you have 100's of pages you can guess how many keywords.

 

[aksel]

I think you must prepare the keyword according to your site's services and functionality it can be so many in numbers but when it is about a single web page then bulk of keywords in a single page should be avoided.
