Hi all you SEO guru's. :)
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, I'm a photographer specializing in residential & commercial real estate / architecture (please feel welcome to come visit my profile or the site when you get a chance).
I consider myself moderately knowledgeable about SEO, yet I have a very elementary question:
"Is it more ideal to have many exact phrases, even if that means a lot of repitition of main keywords? Or is it better to simply have the main keywords once, and the supporting words seperately?"
Below is a hypothetical list of keywords. The actual list is more detailed and not ordered exactly like this but it's suitable for an example. BTW, I've worked this out by looking at wordtracker history and predicts so I'm feeling decent about the list as a whole.
- - -
List 1: Exact phrases (main keywords repeated)
"photographer, photographers, wedding photographer, commercial photographer, corporate photographer, professional photographer, portrait photographer"
List 2: Main keyword once (supporting words seperate)
"photographer, photographers, wedding, commercial, corporate, professional, portrait"
- - -
Obviously my main concerns is effective indexing. The first list would seem to be stronger but my worry is that it may also be viewed as spam.
Any thoughts?
Cheers, -B

Bryce ~ Good to see you back at ActiveRain. Your photography is very inspiring. I am actually just located a couple hours north of you in Bellingham.
To answer your SEO question, I would focus on exact phrases. If your main keyword is "photography" I would try to keep that keyword density under 7%, some people would say 5% but I think that you can get away with 7% without getting picked up in spam filters.
