I want to know what is the best way to target variations of a keyword. Example if the keyword are "best shoes for men" and "top shoes for men" or "expensive shoes for men" how do i go about covering all these keywords? Do i treat them differently and write separate articles for each one of them or just one long article to cover all of them?I want to know how do you guys prefer it.Any help is welcome.Thanks.
 
top and best mean the same thing, so these 2 keywords should go in the same article, but how you title the article it doesn't matter. Most likely the competition is the same (hard) for both keywords so it comes down to your preference whether you title the article "top shoes for men" or "best shoes for men". If the competition is different I would probably go with the keyword with less competition cause it's easier to rank.

I'm not sure about "expensive shoes for men", though... Normally, if the keyword has enough search volume to warrant its own article you should create an article titled exactly like this keyword and then talk about the expensive shoes, covering everything there is to cover on this topic.

But if the keyword has few monthly searches (say, under 100) I would just throw it into its own sub-heading in the "top shoes for men" article and maybe use it a couple more times inside of the content to emphasize its importance. Yeah, that's what I would do...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree that "top" and "best" are essentially same and can be grouped together thats why i asked for the term " expensive" as its different from the other two as top/best shoes are not always expensive so i think it should be a separate article if there is enough volume.Maybe i can group it with something similar like "costly" or " pricey". I just wanted to see how other people are doing it.
 
focus on one keyword with high traffic to insure that u will appear when someone searches for it and also use the other two keywords

no problem.

Also, if you haven't read this already make sure that you do. It explains how to do keyword research:
