How many keywords should the home page of a Real Estate site be optimized for?
-
This is one of those questions that doesn't have a definite answer. It's an example of where SEO is more of an 'art' than a science, but in a best case scenario, you're only targeting 1 keyword phrase per page.
The single most important place on a page to place your keywords are in your title tag. A title tag should only be 65-70 characters in length, so there are only so many keyword phrases that you can fit into that space. Your target keyword phrases may include city names automatically making those target phrases longer. You also want to place your target keywords as close to the beginning of the title tag as possible. So say for example you had 'California Real Estate Agents | California Real Estate Brokers' as your title tag, that page, all other things being equal, would have a better chance of showing up for 'California Real Estate Agents'. So the 2nd keyword phrase that you're targeting in your title tag is going to be less effective than the first one, and if you're targeting a 3rd one, it's going to be even less effective.
In theory, you want want to take a look at all of the keywords you want to target, and map each of those keywords to a specific page on your site.

Different landing page "stole" keyword.
Hi everyone. So I optimized and used the on-page grader for landing page A. I got it down from 15 to 9 on its ranking. Weirdly, that keyword and landing page A tanked to 60 on its ranking, seemingly overnight. While this was all happening, landing page B, which was never optimized for this keyword, effectively "stole" the keyword and it now has a ranking of 9 for this keyword. As I see it, this keyword and landing page B don't match as well as the keyword and landing page A, but I don't want to lose the increased organic traffic I now receive. Does anyone have insight to this or direct me to an already answered question regarding this? Thanks a ton, -Josh

Local Keyword Geolocation
I am really confused about how geolocation and search works. For example, I can search "Air Conditioning Repair" in Google and will get local search results depending on my geolocation. How do I set up keywords in SEOmoz "Air Conditioning Repair" and get the ranking depending on the users geolocation? Do I have to have the keyword "Sacramento Air Conditioning Repair" to get the same results if I search within the vicinity of Sacramento with the term "Air Conditioning Repair." Thanks in advance for everyones help on this question.
