How to Use Long Tail Keywords in a Blog to Grab Tons of Traffic For Your Website

By Dennis Francis

If you've wanted to get more traffic but get bogged down. This technique is beginning to take hold among the SEO folks but is still not popular yet. The main reason is that new searches happen all the time. Google has said that 20-25% of searches haven't ever been seen before. They are saying that you can't sit on the standard keywords and hope to beat your competitors. You must continue to research the field.

If you don't have a blog for your website yet, you need to get one now. Make sure that the blog is connected to the server that contains your website. The reason why you want to do that is because you want to have the search engines to make the connection between your content and the regular updates on your blog.

Using Long Tail Keywords in your blog

Long tail keywords are search terms that people use when using search engines. Instead of looking up the word "tigers" in a search engine, you would enter "Bengal Tigers in India." Your search will be more specific and turn up more Bengal tigers and less of the other kinds. That is the power of long tail keywords. That also makes it more likely that the persons doing the search will be more inclined to know what they want and be more interested in specific niche information.

Start figuring out what long tail keywords people are using right now to find your site. Use Google Analytics to find long tail keywords that match your category and market.

Use keyword search tools (like ours) to find keywords that are 3-6 words in length.

You want to use the long tail keywords in your headlines and the body of your blog to bring people who search for your topic to your blog. Search engines love blogs. They actually prefer blogs to websites because the blogs get updates far more often than websites. Once you begin to use long tail keywords in your blogs and begin to collect keywords, you'll also use these long tail keywords in anchor text throughout your blog.

I suggest adding content to your blog daily but use no less than 250 words. You really can't say what you need to about a subject and include your long tail keywords in a natural way with less that. It is like article writing and should be more like 350 words. I make sure you have the long tail keyword peppered throughout the article. Include it in there 3 or so times, as well as in the title and header (h1) tag. Include the keywords that make up the keyword phrase as well; for instance, "White Bengal Tigers". Use the individual keywords in your post.

Add links to your website in your posts as well. This will create back links for SEO purposes. After getting content for your site with your "new" list of long tail keywords, you need to stay on top of your game by constantly adding fresh, new, unique content.

Constantly research your keyword list for new ones. Use Google or other research site for more keywords. When you are ready to write, start by looking up keywords first.
