With your blog, you should target related keywords in various blog posts. Don't just do it in one post but in many.
Try and stick to one or two keywords per blog post but don't get too hung up on things like keyword density and don't over use the keywords in a way that is unnatural.
Don't use keywords in anchor text in a way which is unnatural. In fact, there may not be much benefit in using them too much in anchor text. It's hard to say but a good rule of thumb is to link as if none of the links are earning you money, just link the way you would if you were conveying a message on a personal blog.
The idea with keywords, since Google said it doesn't want people to over optimize, is to use them as a way Google can work out what your site is about.
There are no silver bullet strategies, anyone who claims to have one is full of it. However what we do know is that surfers type keywords into search engines to search for relevant subject matter, so if you're targeting keywords which are relevant to your content and have the added benefit of attracting a good number of searches then you are well on your way.
