I assume that under potential you were looking at profitability? If you choose keywords with low demand (say under 300), then these keywords may be random.

They may not repeat often enough every month. So the next month their demand may go down and so will profitability. I choose keywords with at least 500 Value Demand…

As far as seo optimization- how often should you check the keywords effectiveness? I had a key word that had high potential one month, and the numbers plummeted the next month.

Shane,

ezinearticles.com doesn’t allow that many words in the anchor text. I think 5 is max. I would simply link to a T2 page which I created with the main keyword in the anchor and use a different anchor for the homepage.

In another article submitted I might link with the keyword of that T2 page back to my homepage.

But if you link internally like I suggested, there are so many variations of keywords that point to the homepage that eventually it starts to rank for many of these keywords and there not much need for external links to have those extra keywords.

Hi Tomaz; First of all your blog is great thanks. I understand everything that you are saying in this post. The one thing I do not understand is say you are posting an article to Ezine Articles. Tell me what anchor text do you suggest using for this page that you just created being:”Wedding Planning Checklist – Free Wedding Checklist Ideas” and should you have this same anchor text pointing back to your homepage?

Inotherwords you are allowed 2 links in your bio but the problem I have is when you use different anchor text to your homepage and a tier 2 page when you do a backlinks check the anchor text that shows up is always whatever anchor text you used to point towards your homepage so therefore your anchor text towards your tier 2 page does not show up as the proper anchor text.

Tell me what do you suggest in this case, do you suggest using different anchor text to both your homepage and tier 2 page knowing they will both show up as the same anchor text or do you just post one link to say your tier 2 with the proper anchor text and perhaps a tier 3 page and forget about your homepage?

Mike,

Yes, the title is the key although in most cases my headline is the same as title. Why complicate stuff and use different titles and H1 headlines?

HI Tomaz, back again. I took on board what you said and had a look back at some of my site pages to see what the page titles were like. Generally they were crap – waffly rubbish with my main keyword but no attempt to blend in secondary keywords. I’ve reworked a couple of them and am going to carry on improving some others.

Now just to make sure we are clear – I’m talking about the “title” box in blockbuilder, rather than the “header 1″ that appears on the page itself.

Hi,
Thanks for all your info. I have been with SBI for 6 months and your blog has been a big help. I just decided to revisit my keywords and improve them, then looked at this site and found this helpful article. I really appreciate that you take the time to share your knowledge. I especially found helpful the keyword string example for the title. From it, I realized I can do so much better with keyword titles. Thanks!

Another great article Tomaz – I’ve been doing exactly as you suggest weaving in multiple keywords to each page of my site.

The bit I had missed though was weaving the variants into my TITLE – oops! I think it may be worth looking over some of those pages again and checking.

Hi DaNae,

Sometime you CAN’T. It’s just too repetitive.

So you can vary your link text a little bit from that T2 page and try to use ideal link text when you link between various T3 pages.

I would also suggest you add some text content between the links – like a short description. Pure links may send the wrong signal to Google.
