Keyword Research help?
I have found my websites core keywords: "keyboard reviews"
I’ve decided to wrap my entire site around those core keywords. When it comes to researching keywords for my sub pages do i simply just use the keyword variations that the google adword tool comes up with or do i try to think what i think people would type into Google and try to optimize for those regardless of traffic potiental?

1. Make sure any keywords that you use are also on the pages. If not, then it isn’t counting and the search engines will think you are keyword spamming and that will hurt the page/site.
2. The title of a site should be (or a part) in the URL as well.
http://www.example.com/keyboard-reviews-for-2008.htm
3. Each page should have their own unique keywords. If you have a site like a Forum which uses a template, then leave it out and the words you are targeting in bold or bigger on the page.
4. Watch your meta tags, often things like "revisit" tell the bot to come back another time. Do you really want to turn a bot away who’s trying to index your site?
Here is one page I made and the hits it gets using the techniques.
http://411newyork.org/
The page is in the top 5 for the titlle and URL and beats out the .com, the .net versions which should rank higher.
