Keywords are the base of any SEO campaign and placing your keywords appropriately not an is not easy task. Here you can find some points about where to add keywords and keyword phrases which may help you;

1. Add Keywords in title tag: title is the best place to add your targeted keywords. The text written inside the title tag displays in search results as your page title. It should be be short and limited to 6-7 words in it. It will be better to add targeted keyword in the beginning of title tag.

2. Add Keywords in URL: Adding your keywords in website URL is also a good idea.

3.Add Keywords in heading tags: Adding keywords in heading tags like H1, H2 and H3 is as beneficial as putting them in page title. Do not use words like: and, for, the, or etc. as they are ignored by search engine spiders. Try to make best possible use of this place.

4.Add Keywords in meta tags: Meta tags are not so important as earlier. Major search engine like google do not consider it but still it is valuable for other search engines like yahoo, msn. So if you are optimizing for yahoo and msn then add your keywords properly.

5.Add Keywords in Alt tags: Search engine spiders are unable to read images or graphics. If you have images in your web page then make sure to include main keyword(s) in the ALT tags, but never over do it as your ranking could be dropped in the result.

6.Add Keywords in anchor text: Anchor text is really an important place to add keywords. Do not create simple internal link with anchor text like “Click Here” or "visit this link" instead of this you can use your keywords relevant to the page. It becomes more important in case of inbound links as it will be regarded as a vote from another site for a particular keyword to your site.

You didn't mention the Keyword density, I think it is also very important!

A new site should focus on one keyword phrase and when the site ranks high enough to get traffic can then slowly expand its range!

Keyword density is only a “supporting factor”. Ex:- If you have a new website, which you are filling with fresh content, then it’s good to follow a pattern where all the new topics you write revolve around a particular topic.

Now, keyword density is a measure which does not really make or break you in the SEO game. Sure, it is good to have repetitions of your keywords in your content, but it will not make a huge difference.

Search engines have come to realize that people simply exploit these tricks in order to rank high. For this reason, they have stopped giving a lot of credit for undertaking these measures.

Hi,

Also want to share mine experience for link building,

"Post/vote a few of your great articles/posts/pages to the social bookmarking networks, if they are worth something other people will also vote for them and in the process you will get some extra links, can also ask your friends to check them out and vote for them (Digg, delicious, Stumbleupon, Sphinn, Propeller are some of the networks I usually post)."

Here are some tips to make sure that you would benefit from the great features of social bookmarking.

1. Create an account using the same nickname at numerous social bookmarking websites, which you have found to be interesting. But make sure that you would be giving priority to the ones that have high traffic, as well as enrolled membership.

2. After creating your account, try building a reputation in your chosen niche first and then start to interact with other members. Remember to export the personal bookmarks that you have to that particular website.

3. Always make sure that your tags are organized. Keep everything simple. Make it easy for users to locate you through your bookmarks.

Place the keyword where it looks natural but not the keyword stuffing.
