Using multiple keywords

[darylnelson]

Hey guys,
I am really new to the SEO field and am learning new things by the day. I made some real progress today as I used two very similar keywords in the same article. A friend suggested that I make two similar articles rather than one with both the phrases. He said this will prevent Google from being confused as to which phrase I wished to rank for. It somehow made sense to me. Now I want to know why Google won’t rank the same article for using both keywords as it would rank an article for using only one?

Google don't like similar articles

Online businesses are being warned to prepare to change their SEO strategies yet again, with Google launching another update for its search results page which allows users to view a quick preview screenshot of every listed site.
Experts warn this change could actually alter how businesses approach online search rankings, but also impacts design. The feature comes after Google has introduced both the Instant and Google Places updates in an attempt to pack in as much information as possible into the home page.
"For a lot of Web 2.0 companies, their image is a part of their brand, and so this could be an important change for them," Data link marketing director Sean Fish lock says.
Google says the update will be rolling out to 100% of users around the world over the next few days, including Australia. The company argues the new feature will make it easier and faster for users to find what they want.
