What is Long Tail Keywords And How to Increase Your Search Engine Result With It

Benefits and importance of increasing search engine traffic is not a big secret any more. For online retailer and affiliate marketer it means higher product sells and referral commission. For average blogger it means bigger audience and long term profit from on-site or private advertising.

You need to understand Long tail theory and learn effective manipulation of traffic-directing long tail keywords. To consistently send huge search engine traffic to your site

What is Long Tail keyword?

Long tail keywords are simply multi-phrase search queries people use to search the informations they need. Unlike General or main keywords Long Tail keywords are more targeted and they literally represent a visitor’s need for specific information.

Here is an example. “Make Money Online” is a general keyword and long tail keywords within this niche use terms such as following

• Make Money online with affiliate marketing
• How to make money online with your blog
• How to make money online with Freelance job

These long tail keywords are actual search queries. Optimizing your site with content related to match these search strings allows you to attract visitor who search for information with these or similar search strings.

Benefits of Long Tail keywords.

Optimizing your site for long tail key words has its own benefits here are 2 such benefits.

It Is Easier To Rank Well With Long Tail Keywords. While most of popular search phrase are dominated by big blogger like Brian Clark and Richard MacManus. It’s not really worth spending my time for this phrase. It will not bring traffic to my blog in any case. But it is much easier for me to rank well on search engines for long tail keywords because of lack of competition.

High Monetization potential. People using search engine to find information are valuable because they are targeted individuals who are seeking specific information and therefore they are more likely to click on contextual ads relevant to their interest or subscribe to your site newsletter or blog feed if they get what they need. This grows your audience and allows you greater monetization potential in the long run through product sales or the use of third-party ad networks.

How to Find and Target Your Long Tail Keywords

You can use online web tools as well as basic content development tactics to find the long tail keywords that are relevant to your Blog and niche. Here are such methods to discover long tail keywords relevant to your blog

1) Keyword Analytic and tracking program

There are plenty of Keyword Tracking and Analyzing program out there. But so far I have found HitTail and 103bees the most useful and accurate solution for my all tracking and analytic requirement. You’ll need to drop a few lines of code in your site template to make these programs start to suggest specific long-tail keywords you can use.

Note: 103bees offer more statistical features than HitTail while acting as a Search Engine Result Pages tracker which allows you to monitor how your keywords are ranking on the search engines. HitTail only allows one website per account so if you are one of those multi blog author I highly recommend 103 bees for you. It would be better as they allow you integrate and monitor multiple websites within the same interface.

2) Internal Search Boxes: Monitoring what keyword phrases user are searching for on your own blog can give you batter idea about your visitor’s expectation from you. Build contents around these keywords or its variation. This is the most useful and passive way of developing long tail keyword reach contents

3). Competitor Analysis: Keeping an eye on how your competitors get search engine traffic on their site is good strategy because your competitor has already targeted bunch of long tail keywords. Studying such analysis will give u batter idea about long tail keyword related to your niche and u will only need to write content and optimize your blog targeting such keywords

Visit their site and analyze their webpages, check their title and meta tags, as well as their backlinks if you have some free time. This will help you understand a lot batter

Or u can simply use online keyword parsing tools like SEODigger which allows you to immediately find out which keywords your competitor is targeting by simply inputing their site URL.

4) After exercising all three steps follow this simple steps, to increase more traffic over your site.

1. Insert your keyword into the Google Adwords Keyword Suggestion Tool .
2. Download the complete list via text editor or excel program.
3. Take a look at its competitors through SEODigger.
4. Create a list with all the longtail keywords.
   
5. Include one or two keywords inside the blog post title.

Font: Lots of new bloggers are tempted to use non standard fonts to make their blog look different. Of course their blog look different. But on price of users reading experience, your readers could be having a hard time reading it and move on to something else. So stick with a standard font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman, and save the fancy fonts for something else.

Color schemes: Like Fonts color scheme can make lots of difference. Reader love complimenting color scheme. Make sure your color scheme is easily readable, and its not giving your reader a hard time reading your contents. Red font on a black background is hard to read. So is light grey on white. So make sure what you are using is easy for people to read.

Cross platform checking: this is something many blogger forget to do ( I use to be one of them) – checking your blogs appearance variouse browsers is a good idea. Every browser handles different html codes and tags differently. What looks fantastic in Firefox could look wired in IE, So make sure it is formatting correctly in all browsers and platforms, not just the one you happen to use.

Paragraphs: Writing paragraphs are is the most basic structure in any writing While most bloggers use them, there are still number of new blogger who forget the basic writing principles.

Bolding/Emphasising: You can bold the first few lines of an important paragraph, or even a phrase within a paragraph to give it more emphasis. Just be careful not to overdo it, it can actually make your entire article less-scan-friendly.
