Hi Surabhi, it sounds like you are looking at one the Moz Analytics reports. If so, which one are you looking at specifically? (A screenshot would be extra helpful, but knowing what tool/report you are using will help me best answer your question.) I'm also not sure what you mean by the following question: "But I want know that my some keywords are targeted with other urls but got ranked in top 50 with different urls, how it is?" When you say "got ranked in top 50 with different URLs", are you referring to your own URLs (for pages that aren't optimized for the keywords that are ranking, or competitors URLs?

At first time, revise your content, page title, page description and others to verify they match your desired keyworkds.
Think, today the meta keywords it's useless. You need to have your keyword present on your content, that's the more important thing.
Also, if some of your keywords are present on page title, description, or in-page titles (h1, h2, h3...) that's better too. If the keyword are at the url, best too.
If your ranking it's too low, revise your page for some things: First, your page are W3C ok (You can use the W3C page check), and then, use some free tool to evaluate keywords from page. Also, think, if your page are lack of content that's bad (You need a minimal quantity of content for get a better ranking).
Also, do not forget to avoid the use of javascript / documents (Word, pdf), and flash, because they all are external, on some cases, google can get it, but at another cases not. It's better if your content (With your keywords) are present on the target page.
I cannot recommend you a percentage of presence of a keyword, i think that's a very questionable thing. I personally use about 1-2% of keyword presence on the pages to get some rankings, and a good content between this keywords (I try to use them on the content, without force their appears).

Focus Keyword
Hi everyone! I am pretty new to SEO so all the help would be great. Does every webpage on our website need a focus keyword for example like the about us page. We have webpages for every location in the UK - Would it be helpful if the location webpages had a focus keyword also? Just to note that I am using Yoast on Wordpress. Many thanks,

Tool for wildcard keyword suggestions
Like others, I have also been oblivious to the options which were uncovered in this article, using stars or underscores to uncover more keywords suggestions. However, I am trying to find a way to avoid the manual labour. Did any of you find a successful tool that automatically adds all the possible combinations of these wildcards to give a comprehensive lists of suggestions? I am looking for a tool that also included my country (.nl).

Setting Up a Keyword Matrix
Greetings MOZ community!! My real estate web site contains about 500 pages with perhaps 70 pages targeting low volume, somewhat valuable but not very competitive keywords. Three to four URLs target very competitive terms. The following terms are among the most valuable: New York City office space,
Keyword Research | | Kingalan1
New York office space,
Manhattan office space,
NYC office space Such variants as: Office space in New York City,
Office space in New York,
Office space in Manhattan,
Office space in NYC
ETCETERA convert really well How would I match different terms to different URLs? For example I have just re-written the following two critical URLs: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com (home page)
http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/office-space (product page) Would it make sense to use "Manhattan office space" and variants on the home page while excluding "New York City office space" variants? At the same time I would use "New York City office space" variants on the "office-space" product page while excluding all mention of "Manhattan office space". Is this logical and does it conform to SEO best practices? For the "NYC office space" terms I would add them to http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings. This URL has almost no text but a strong potential to rent because of a high number of incoming internal links. Is this approach sensible? In general what measures should I take to prevent URLs from competing for the same keywords? Also, is there a software package or tools that I can use to come up with keyword variants? As a non SEO professional, can I create my own keyword matrix or is this really in the realm of a professional SEO consultant? Thanks, Alan0 -
How to finalize the keywords for SEO?
Hi, I use the following method for keyword research: Create a long raw list of keywords. Use Google AdWords Keyword tool to find monthly searches. Find raw competition. Find direct competition (via allinanchor: search operator) Calculate KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) Calculate KOI (Keyword Opportunity Index) Is there any other (better) way to execute the keyword research? Or is finalizing/selecting the keywords only on the basis of monthly searches sufficient? In short, how to select the best keywords from a long list? Thanks & Regards

How do you optimize for compound keywords
What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s but I think this is diluting them all. Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter
