If my site has certain keywords, may I add more keywords, phrases, and how many may I add, will it affect my google position when I add them, does the order of the keywords affect the search??????

I would just make sure your site is still targeted to that main term that you are going after. More and more content is always great on sites. Just dont get too crazy with keywords because your site is always gonna be considered in a certain category of terms to Google. So dont lose focus of the main term you want to get your site on top of. You can always use different pages and focus on different terms but be sure to stay in the same vertical of what your site fits in.

Don't dilute your home page, if it is already doing well for your primary market area and key terms. As long as the site's focus remains on real estate, it never hurts to add new pages with the new keywords you want to target.

Keywords, are good for the basics. When google does and initial look at the pages it looks for the keywords. But more importantly it looks at the content on the page. The rule of thumb I use is the keywords are the terms that sum up what is on the page. But content is king.

The more "local" the content can be the better google likes it. Google is really looking to be as local as possible with their search engine results. Google is even paying people to go to local retailers and take pictures of the store. Additionally they have google street view where they have people drive around in cars with camera on them that take pictures and video of local roads. Its pretty cool stuff.

Over the last few months, I was tweaking my keywords by editing down to focus the site for my primary ones. As mentioned above, other pages could be used for other keywords or even submarkets.

Look for one of the free keyword analyzers to check your word count and the percentages for primary words. Lastly, make sure your text flows and reads well for your visitors.
