Long Tail Keyword Development Strategy

To make things easier for you, I’ve broken down the procedure of finding and developing your long tail keywords into a simple five step process. By following this strategy, you should be able to effectively grow the amount of search traffic you receive daily.

  1. Enter your core keywords in the Google’s Keyword Suggestion tool. Download the entire list in a text or excel format.
  2. Perform competitor analysis manually or through SEO Digger.
  3. Compile in one list, all the longtail keywords from both of the above steps.
  4. Start to create webpages or blog posts and include at least one keyword + a phrase in the title. For Wordpress users, install and use the SEO Title Tag plugin.

This is a snippet of an article by Maki at DoshDosh.com I can recommend this strategy whole-heartedly.

    I had been looking for a keyword analysis tool to use and it looks like the Google tool is where it’s at now.

    I was watching a SEO tutorial made a few years ago by Lynda.com. The narrator and teacher at that time used a Yahoo overture tool to find keyword statistics. It gave an exact # like 31,242 for “cool movies” for example.

    It would be cool if the google tool told you the exact # of search rather than a rounded estimate. They COULD but they DON’T! pfft

    I’m enjoying your articles! Thanks for the great advice. - Jason
