Keywords

I'm working on my keywords for my site. These are the steps I've taken:
I read Brad Callen's ebook, and started researching keywords for my site. I
also listened to a whole lot of advice gleaned here from you guys (and
girls). I was targeting "south africa tours" as my main keyword, and a
couple of others. After doing a lot of investigation, I finally decided to
target three main phrases:
"south africa tours"
"guided tour south africa"
"tailor made tour south africa"
These three phrases I have combined to "Guided South Africa tours|tailor
made South Africa tours"

Now I want to add more content to my main page, and include links to the
other pages with anchor text, and get links from my other pages coming back
to mine using anchor text. Question 1: must I use these keywords in some
combination as the anchor text?

Question 2: Someone here mentioned (to someone else) A1 wensite analyzer,
so I went and downloaded it, and ran my site through it. The keywrods it's
showing as present on my site are not the ones in either the meta tag, or my
title... it seems to be using only the words I've used as my links to my
other main pages, and it would appear that it's collecting those links from
the bottom of the page. Is this a flaw in my page, or is the program
reading it wrong? How can I find out what the search engines see as my
keywords?

I haven't changed the content yet, as I would like to do it right this time.

Thanks,

CM

If you want to identify a page as being about a subject, then use that
subject in the anchor text. If your site has five pages, use the same
phrase, if your site has five thousand pages, vary the phrase a
little.

Thanks Bill,
Should I try to get the incoming links from other sites to change the
wording to us my keywords as the anchor text? And new links too. I've just
found an article about anchor text and links:

It was quite interesting.

In an ideal world yes but it's not easy to do.

And new links too.

Them too.

Well you can come round and read it to me some day, I'm kind of busy
here.
