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.

Keyword: $ 100 discount coupon Product 2: $ 75 discount coupon
Keyword:? Product 3: $ 50 discount coupon
Keyword:? Any advice? Thank you, Sergio K.0 -

Rank checking tool for keyword analysis
We are looking for an ideally free suitable rank checking tool to perform a keyword analysis. Previously we used Firefox Rank Checker but currently this is not working effectively as it once did. We use Authority Labs as a paid tool to track rankings but this is a rank tracking platform and not so effective for a once-off rank check to perform a keyword analysis. Any thoughts, help or ideas here would be super appreciated!

Google Keyword Planner - Just PPC?
Morning Mozzers, Please help a layman learn. This is probably a silly question but when I look at keyword search data in Google's Keyword Planner Tool and I see "COMPETITIVE" or "LOW" am I looking at all searches inclusive of organic and PPC? I have been a bit confused by logging in through an Adwords account? At the moment to get my keyword research I am using a combination of Moz, Webmaster Tools, Keyword Planner. I have had a look at the free version of SEMrush which looks really cool. Is my approach right using these tools? Am I covering all bases / missing key opportunities? Regards Ben

Best Keyword Research Tool
Can anyone please recommend the best keyword research tools available, we specialise in the travel industry and struggle to find new keywords as the more niche ones always show no traffic searches in the google keyword tool so it is really difficult to make a judgement. We know from google analytics that some niche keywords really are useless and while they are no. 1 they generate no traffic. I hope you can help Thanks! Andy
