Thanks for tips. Should I make a new page for every keyword I want to target? Do you rank higher if you have more pages on your website?
It used to be the case that you could create multiple pages with very similar content but with different titles and headers targeting specific keywords.
This is one of the things Google try to filter out though, it still works to a degree, but not really advisable to do unless each page is legitinate and has enough unique and informative content on it.
If Google sees them as being too similar they will pick which they think is the most legitimate and dump the rest in to what they call the supplemental index.

Excellent tips on SEO, and this is the easiest way to be found when adding webmaster and google analytics along with these. Keep up the good work guys and hope to see more tips in the future.
Cool tips and precise. Will also apply these to my site and hope for a better ranking in Google now. I know a bit of patient is required.
Really nice tips Terry, short but meaningful!
From my own experience I must say that keyword workout and content perfecting is the two top actions. I recommend tracking position by keyword – especially when you work on content. I use Colibri Tool to tracking, it also has a fine feature which let’s you monitor your competition by the same keywords, really fine!
