How do I optimize my Web site for a specific key word?
How can I convince the Google robot that my keywords use the word cat and my page is optimized with the word "cat" more than "cats web".

Backlinks are the best way to improve google listings. Your backlinks should also contain your keywords in your anchor text.
What happens when your site offers many services and your content covers multiple subjects related to one industry?
In general, Dave, individual entries or articles on your site are focused on individual topics, so even if you cover a wide breadth of material since Google looks at *pages* not *sites* for the most part, it'll naturally work out.
If you are required to optimize your website for particular keyword, these important steps should be give the advantage:
*write unique,quality content and consider the keywords density.
*Build maximum in bound links with 100% relevancy.
You should checkout the website optimizer at http://optimizer.builtwith.com the free version tells you what keywords are most in use on your page and how likely they are to rank in search engines.
I think the kewords work with contents put in the website. I do have problems with my website but topics like these helps me improvig.
Thanks
