When targeting a particular keyword, how many articles should I write that target it?
-
I have a keyword phrase that's a high value target for us. Should I write just one - or several articles that target that keyword as their main focus?
Thanks!

Personally, I don't think you need a lot on site. After you have the topic covered on your site, I'd look for opportunities off site. Since improper handling can result in injury, look for guest blog opportunities on physical therapist and chiropractor sites, sites that target businesses that actually handle material, employee benefit insurance and brokerage sites, even sites that have pages on relocation like city, realtor, and professional organizer sites. I'd also create an infographic demonstrating how to safely handle material and draw attention to it by notifying the same sites. Then create a series of videos and put them in Youtube.

manual handling?
Books and entire websites can be written about that.
manual handling course - Which MH course? There are semesters worth of these courses addressing equipment, different types of equipment, different types of things being handled, my goodness!
manual handling training course - this is a bit of a repeat of the above
manual handling train the trainer - there can be multiple articles here covering methods, environments goals
manual handling online training - many courses here too
If my entire website was about MH I could spend years authoring it.
If MH is just one of many areas of my site then I would pour resources into it proportional to my authoring abilities and proportional to the return that I think I might receive.
I could start with a light and general attack and then pick it up in six months if it shows promise. I would plan the options before the first attack, these address the overall goal, then respond as you get information.
Do not commit enormous resources early unless you have experience and confidence with the expected return and the competition.
Send out scouts to report on the lay of the land, then attack based on their success or move on if you do not see promise.

Thanks!
Main KW = manual handling
important related KWs = manual handling course, manual handling training course, manual handling train the trainer, manual handling online training
-
Give an example of a keyword. I'll tell you what I might do.

Thanks Egol. I definetly plan to write many articles on associated KWs.
its more that I'm unsure if each KW I trace get should only have one article specifically created to target that KW - or if more articles targeting the same KW are ok...
-
I would put more thought into it.
Are there shorter tail variants and longer tail variants? Do they get traffic? Is their competition? Can I produce exceptional content? Can I compete there? Can they make money?
There are frontal attacks, side attacks, skirmishes and snipping. For some topics I attack with all of these. With others I use just one, see how it works, then follow up with a second but different attack.
Attacks cost money and time. Spend them wisely.
Think deeply for the best answer.

The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.
Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Keyword research tools
So I went to a panel a while back that said Wordtracker is basically useless. I'm not using it as an end-all, be-all, but more for insights and context. Do you agree with that statement? The hosting company provides a keyword research tool, so I wasn't sure how seriously to take it. Have you guys been using Bing for the search data previously provided by Google's Keyword Research Tool? Do you find that to be a viable resource? Thanks.

New Keyword Planning Tool
In the past we have used google analytics keyword tool to evaluate a keyword for our campaign. Recently though with the changes to the keyword tool becoming the keyword planning tool we've seen an extreme fluctuation in the metrics provided for avg monthly searches. Specifically the keyword "best fries" used to be reported at 33100 avg global monthly searches, now with the new tool its at less than 200 overall for the month. Additional information has the google trends for the keyword to only be increasing and is roughly near peak search interest. So I guess to simplify the question, should I trust this metric? Is there an alternative source I can use for keyword research? Why would a drop like this happen? Why isn't the google trends data similar to that of the keyword data? Surely 100 representing peak interest doesn't translate to 200 searches a month.

Top Ranking sites for specific keywords
Is there a way to put in a list of targeted keywords and see what the top 5 sites on Google are? There are several competitor tools in SEOmoz but I can't find anything that would allow you to do that. I have a list of 40 or so keywords that I would like to check what sites are in the top 3 positions on Google for each of the keywords. Thanks in advance
