In competitive niches we aim for 2 per page, in less competitive niches we aim for 3.
Hope this helps!

There are no SET RULES.
You can use one particular keyphrase per page or you can be savvy and utilize your organic text and similar or alternative terms as well as google is on a daily basis improving on understanding meanings and definitions of words.
Although your keywords ratio counts (your targeted kw over your total number of words per page) to some extent, it is not what it used to be 10 years ago. your actual authority, originality, and uniqueness of content will count many times as much as your keywords of choice.
Of course, not all websites can really utilize this content strategy in a direct way on their pages. In cases like e-commerce where very little changes and updates can be made to a product page's content with a real added value for SEO, the one or two limited kw approach may work better. However, even these guys can exercise SEO blogging and relevant content creation (infographics, etc) on their domain to bring in more traffic and boost overall domain authority which can result in an indirect improvement effect on page authority and traffic as well.
but there are no etched in stone rules about this, you just don't want to spam, and don't want to lose focus of your targeted keywords. those are the only rules you need to know. the rest, how shall i say, "must come to you organically", if you read your text and titles aloud, and they sound fine, you see or hear your keywords a few times, its all good signs you are on the right track.
may i further remind you that when it comes to keywords, it is HIGHLY VITAL you know WHERE to use them in key places of your site and pages (metadata-not meta keywords-titles, headings, top of the page content, etc) do some digging on this stuff and get a better understanding before spending time generating content, SEO revisions are even more time consuming and mentally exhausting...

The general rule is 1 per page. If you were going after "red widgets" make a page for red widgets add content for red widgets but please do not talk about blue widgets. If you do this Google will know that you talk about blue and red widgets but not which one you want to rank for. Additionally, try to have different pages for terms like "red widgets" and "red widget reviews" these two terms are very similar but they should be categories or separate pages from each other instead of on the same page.

Secondary related keywords
Hi, Let' say one of the topics I want to talk about is "wine tasting2. I do a search in the keywords tool and I find related keywords such as "wine tasting chicago" and all the words that I find do not apply to me because I do "wine tastings in Bordeaux". How do I deal in a situation like that ? Can I type in the keyword tool "wine tasting bordeaux" even though my topic is wine tasting ? I took "wine tasting" but I could apply that to the word "chateaux" where none of the related keywords apply to me. I run into issues when the topics are "large". The other question I have is still about "wine tasting" if I find secondary related keywords that apply to me such a "wine tasting in bordeaux", "wine tasting cellars" do I still need to add in my content the word "wine tasting" by itself in addition to the 2 related keywords or can I just only put the 2 related keywords ? Thank you,.

What are Some the Best Keyword Research Tools?
I am looking for a keyword research tool other than Google Keywords Planner. What other tools can I use to perform great keyword research. I am looking for a tool than will help me to find better keywords for my SEO campaigns. My clients' websites are usually 30-50 pages, so I don't want to buy tools for $20K a year. I am looking for something around $60-$100 per month.

Can keyword research be used across different similar sites in different countries?
I am assuming the answer to this question is no but confirmation would help. I have a site in the UK and a site in Spain both on the same topic but different copy and obviously language – therefore I am assuming it is not possible to produce keyword research on the UK site and use the results on the Spanish site?

Keywords/URL
Greetings! I've read previous posts on this topic, but wondering if something has changed recently...On the on-page grading, the following was suggested:Use Keywords in your URL - high importance - easy fix _(In the past it has read difficult fix). _Could it be as easy as creating a new page with the name in the url, then redirecting to it? My site is www.enchantingquotes.com and the keyword that brings in virtually all of business is "wall quotes". I've read in the forum this isn't worth the trouble of trying to do, but the "easy fix" comment has me wondering...?Any help is much appreciated....I'm been trying to recover from a recent unexplained drop in rank. Ugh! (So feel free to analyze my site LOL!) :DA huge thanks for any advise!

Keyword Ranking
Soooooo, let's just say that I put a lot of keywords into the ranking tracker. Is there an easy way to reduce this list without having to go in word by word and pause or delete them? Like is there a bulk upload type of system? Thanks!
