Optimizing title for 2 competitive keyphrases.

Hello again. For my next website i'm targeting 2 main keyphrases for my homepage. Basically on the homepage it has a few brief pargraphs explaining each keyphrase, and links to the main pages for each keyphrase. Both keyphrases have similar relation, but wouldn't have relation at all in SE results. My question is since the title is one of the most important parts of SEO should I include both keyphrases in it, or just try to target for my top keyphrase for it? I've searched for my top keyphrase (which is also the exact keyphrase of my domain) in google and most of the top results titles were mainly optimized just for that particular keyphrase. How should I go about optimizing that title for my index page? Optimize it for my top keyphrase only? Optimize for both? Thanks.

I say that the 2 deserve their own pages, but thats just me. You could try to optimize your main page for both, but I would definitly have domain.com/airsoft-guns.html and domain.com/paintball-guns.html to focus the SEO when they are that different.

thanks for your insight seo guy

I'm in a similar situation largely, people may search for three completely seperate phrases although the pages they're looking for would be identical.

it's for a series of games, people may search for "Final Fantasy 7" "Final Fantasy VII" or "FF7"

I've been optimising just for "final fantasy 7" usually, but I'm probably losing a lot of traffic this way. what would you suggest doing? should I try to use all variations on the page?
