That's something that all of us can put into practice for our own blogs/websites. Good point Chris. That’s something that all of us can put into practice for our own blogs/websites.

The trick is to not try to get all the phrases to the homepage, build sections or pages aimed at certain keywords. If you look at this blog, I rank for both "Chris Garrett" but also on occasion some of my articles rank surprisingly well for other stuff like "blog meme" etc @Wayde – I am not convinced you are over 18, I might need to see some ID ;)

(and the words in it). Take your 'walrus polishing kit' example. Should I only try to attract a combination of any of those words, or, if I have content on my site for 'walrus washing soap' and 'kangaroo shining butter' is it wise to try and attract for those, too? Does there come a point where there are diminished returns because eggs are spread out in too many baskets? Ir seems like perhaps the optimal strategy is to find a balance of eggs in some baskets--not just one, but not too many. What do you think and put into practice? Hopefully this will not constitute one of those requests that’s asking for free work ;)

Four super brushes that will clean even the trickiest of seabound mammals. Yes, I am over eighteen, though my IQ isn't. Nice post too by the way :) Please rush me my portable walrus polishing kit.
