How many keywords should you target per page?

For instance, let's say you have a game blog. Do you target one or two main keywords for the entire blog and then some long tail keywords for each post. Or, do you pick different keywords (within your niche) to target for each post? What's your technique?

I also owns a game blog that is known as gamingadda99.blogspot.com. I am using the different keywords related to the each post that i have but with the concept of having the two or three main keywords with the additions tags as keywords which is just exact to the post name. this technique is going good for me.

I am not well versed with keywords yet and I think what you are saying is that you have keywords for the tags and you also use the keywords in the blog. Am I right on my assumption? With the question of how many keywords should you target per page my understanding is the frequency of the appearance of the keyword on the content and not the number of different keywords.

Are you using these keywords to backlink to your site? Since the Penguin update, there is some indication that backlinking using the same keywords over numerous links is a bad thing and perceived as spam.

I don't have a single keyword for the whole site. Instead, I use keywords depending on the topic of each blog post.

Of course, all your keywords are likely to relate to your niche. So your niche is the broadest keyword you have. Though I'm sure it's too broad to target, consider competition.

I'm sure the long tail keywords are still related though.

Having a wide range of topic is a good thing. But of course, you should always have a main topic in hand. For example, you have a tech blog. To give more variety to your readers, ad in some gaming news and such.

Target some 5 to 6 keywords in a single page.

I think creating a separate page with your second keyword could help out as well.

Example= "www.site.com/keyword-2.html"

First to target we need to analyse keywords after that we need to choose some keywords high competitive and some medium competitive for both long tail and short tail

My experience is with a blog and for me, 1 or 2 keywords that are directly relevant to the blog will do. I have read in some discussions that stuffing the web page with too many keywords may backfire because Google does not want too many keywords. And with the number of keywords, a moderate appearance on the web page is fine because too many appearances of a keyword will be redundant.
