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

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!

Keywords and Rank Checker Tool
Two questions about checking the rank of keywords. The easiest way to say this is by example. I have a keyword that SEOMOZ ranks on google in the 32nd position but when I look for that keyword in Google it's nowhere to be found (it's buried deep in the results pages somewhere). Where does SEOMOZ get its keyword results from? How do I non-localize my browser so I can see "global" keyword results? Is there such a thing? thanks in advance.

Keywords + Country?
Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.

Meta Keywords Dilution?
In general, does having a large number of meta keywords listed in a page's meta keywords line dilute effort? On other words, should I focus on optimizing for 1 or 2 keywords per page to keep my efforts focused and increase the probability of ranking better for those 1 or 2.....or should I put down all the keywords I would "like" to rank for? Thank You
