How can I "target keywords"?
-
Hello everyone,
Could you please explain how can I "target keywords"? So from my understanding, I do a research on keywords, then find those which I can rank for easily, and then what? Do I build links to my website pages with these keywords? Or do I create different articles on the website with this keyword?

Have you run any campaigns on FB, Twitter G+ for the page you want to rank?
No. we just have company pages on the social networks

What you are asking here is essentially "What is SEO and how do I do it?"
Well it's kind of an incredibly long answer and explanation and basically in order to truly master what you are after it will require you to spend some time learning the trade. These forums are a great place to do that, but probably not the best place to start. Moz does have some great resources to get you started, however. I would head this direction and read through every last page they offer if I were you: http://moz.com/learn/seo

Both will work... You want Google to see your site as authoritative so the more content/pages you have for those terms the better..
Social is becoming more and more important so if you can create something shareable on the page you want to rank for the better it will rank...

- Content
- Title
- Header
- and URL
So let's I have done so, but most of the competitors have the same stuff. lets say I take a keyword "best savings rates", and of course most of the competitors have the same keyword distribution. Can I outrank them by writing another article on different topic but which targets the same keyword? Will this help? Or should I build links around this page (best savings rates)?

"Targeted Keywords" are usually competitive terms. What if you club more contextual keywords, terms(long-tails), questions.and create valuable content around it.
Same time, based on same subject you can make and embed some cool Powerpoint PPT(Slideshare), infographics (Pinterest) on same page.
Ensure download time, Typography and overall elegance.
This is what you are targeting audiences and not keywords. Keywords are means. Its ok to analyze search volumes of keywords (I bet they always are approximate, non-accurate and fluctuating)Serve "intent" of the search not "Search Terms"

Hi,
You will need to create content that has these keywords in it. You will then need to optimize the page that your content is on. If your keywords are in the:
- Content
- Title
- Header
- and URL
You can be sure that when Google index your page you will start ranking for these keywords.
This is just one way to optimize your page for your keywords... make sure you also add share buttons for poeple to share your page socially. Don't forget that if you want people to do this make sure you create great content that people will find interesting and want to share.
Hope this helps

International Keyword Research
Good morning! I have a quick question about international keyword research. So, I created a keyword list full of terms that we want to analyze in Latin America. My question is around search results. For example, if the keyword I am analyzing in English is "apples" and I choose the region as Mexico, should I submit the keyword to be analyzed as "apples" or the Spanish translation "manzanas"? I am confused as to whether the results account for the translation of someone searching "manzanas" in Mexico to the English term "apples" and how that whole process works. Let me know if I need to elaborate because I understand that the whole question is super confusing haha. Thanks for any help you can give! 🙂

Singular and Plural Noun Keywords
Hi everyone Extremely love this community, learning a lot day by day! I am currently in the process of writing a blog post and say for example I am targetting the keyword 'apple' and 'apples'. My current word count of the article is 850 words and I have used 'Apple' 15 times and 'Apples' 26 times. 1 .Is my Keyword density too high and will Google look at this as keyword stuffing? 2. Do I have to target each Singular and Plural keyword individually? Or will targetting 'Apple' will also automatically target 'Apples' for me and vice versa? Thanks in advance!

What's the best keyword tool for discovering regional/metropolitan area keywords?
Generally I use the Google Keyword Tool for my keyword research, but given the fact that the data is either country specific or global, I was wondering what others use for regional/dma-specific keyword discovery. Regional traffic is very important to my site, so I'm hoping to find a tool that I can use to find keywords germane to my audience.

Keyword Difficulty Tool
Hello, I've been using the above more and more - with some great results. I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total. So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains. Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do? Is it: a) ok to use the output or b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or... c) something else?? Thanks Alex

Conducting Keyword Research in "Other than English"
I haven't done my homework on this, so I'd like to ask, if I am interested in launching a website in multiple languages. Let's say an Urdu version (that will have different content) of our English News website then how do I conduct some keyword research for popular keywords used by people searching the net in Urdu. Furthermore, how can I get an estimate of how many people are actually using the web in a particular language and from which geographical regions? Cheers!
