Hi Surabhi, it sounds like you are looking at one the Moz Analytics reports. If so, which one are you looking at specifically? (A screenshot would be extra helpful, but knowing what tool/report you are using will help me best answer your question.) I'm also not sure what you mean by the following question: "But I want know that my some keywords are targeted with other urls but got ranked in top 50 with different urls, how it is?" When you say "got ranked in top 50 with different URLs", are you referring to your own URLs (for pages that aren't optimized for the keywords that are ranking, or competitors URLs?

At first time, revise your content, page title, page description and others to verify they match your desired keyworkds.
Think, today the meta keywords it's useless. You need to have your keyword present on your content, that's the more important thing.
Also, if some of your keywords are present on page title, description, or in-page titles (h1, h2, h3...) that's better too. If the keyword are at the url, best too.
If your ranking it's too low, revise your page for some things: First, your page are W3C ok (You can use the W3C page check), and then, use some free tool to evaluate keywords from page. Also, think, if your page are lack of content that's bad (You need a minimal quantity of content for get a better ranking).
Also, do not forget to avoid the use of javascript / documents (Word, pdf), and flash, because they all are external, on some cases, google can get it, but at another cases not. It's better if your content (With your keywords) are present on the target page.
I cannot recommend you a percentage of presence of a keyword, i think that's a very questionable thing. I personally use about 1-2% of keyword presence on the pages to get some rankings, and a good content between this keywords (I try to use them on the content, without force their appears).

How much does Domain Authority effect the keywords I can rank for?
I've been doing some keyword research and i've found a few gems. My site is currently sat at a 18 domain authority up from 12, so it's great to see the improvement. Although I was wondering, if my domain authority is sat a 18, can I compete with keywords that have a difficulty of 50-60? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Sam

Keywords with no search volume
Hi there! What are your thoughts on optimizing pages for keywords that have no search volume (using the Keyword Planner)? I'm not sure it should be done, since optimizing for keywords that no one searches for is kind of useless, right? Or should I do it hoping that sometime in the future the keyword will have a surge on searches? Thanks!

Google Keyword Tool: What is considered a unique keyword?
I'm trying to research keywords using Google's Keyword Tool. After looking at results, I have the following questions: 1. Does singular/plurals of a word count as two different keywords to Google (ie: photobooth and photobooths)? Would I need to have a unique page targeting each word or will one page on my site be sufficient for targeting both? 2. I've noticed that different variations of keywords have the same global monthly search results. This leads me to believe that Google see's all of them as one keyword. ie: "photo booth props" and "props for a photo booth" and "props with photo booth", all have 22,200 search global monthly search resluts. On the other hand "moustache prop" and "prop moustache" have different global monthly search results (480 and 590). Can anyone explain this?

Where can I find lists of high probability of winning keywords
Keyword research can take a lot of time. Suppose you are not sure of what keywords you want to rank for but just want to see a list of phrases that have 500-5000 searches a day, low cost and low competition because you are looking for phrases that interest you for which it will be easier to rank close to #1 in google. Besides AdWords Keyword Tool, are there sites that specialize in this?

How do you optimize for compound keywords
What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s but I think this is diluting them all. Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter
