More as you possible and it depends on your time, money and how much can you invest to rank your keywords?

Just curious how many keywords do you want to target for your blog?

For a starter, 25 keywords for a single blog is too high to work together. It is always better to start with 5 priority keywords and work on some long tail ones to build your ranking first. You can always increase your keyword list later on for new blog pages and posts.

That makes zero sense. I usually start project with a minimum of 50 keywords and often times over 100.

This can be a drastic situation for a beginner. You make sense when you are an expert. Building up a website with 50 or more keywords at a time will leave you nowhere to promote all of them together.

Come up with 5 to 6 main keywords for a particular web page

Title : Primary Keyword | Secondary Keyword | Brand Name, and not more that 70 characters

Description : Use primary keyword or secondary keyword or both at-least once and not more than 160 characters

Definitely agree with SEOpub on this one. It makes absolutely no sense to target a low number of keywords, ESPECIALLY if you are a beginner. If you're a beginner you don't know how to properly promote content, get shares, or build backlinks. In fact you probably wouldn't know a solid SEO service if it slapped you in the face, nor a crap service for that matter.

So in retrospect, you would want to target as many keywords as possible, and produce as much content as possible. AND NEVER target longtails that are 3 words or higher. If you do be vary weary of the fact that your preferred keyword density changes drastically and from what we are seeing, 0.4% is showing traits of being over optimized when utilizing longtails that are 3 words+. So literally using a long tail 1 time is about all you want to do. Google knows that typically you do not naturally see a 3 word longtail together more then 0.2% of the content.

My advice is to let the long tails come naturally. Throw in ONE longtail you want to target, here and there. Get a rank tracker and ke track of your keywords. If you're not tracking your keywords then just shoot yourself in both feet and keep walking. You're not gonna get anywhere. In fact thats like being footless and blind.

Keep producing quality content around your focus keyword, utilizing LSI to give your target keyword value.

At work I usually start with as many keywords as possible. I create a list and then work on every single one of them. There's no sense in limiting your blog to only 5 or 6 keywords. Use as many as you can come up with.
