Today morning I had a meeting with one of my client. He has a new website and want to optimize that website for google. His keywords are pretty high competitive ,so I ask him to target less competitive keywords first. But he is not accepting that and so the conference shifted to the topic "Long tailed keywords or short tailed keywords and which is best for a new website". I asked him to use long tailed keywords first without bleeding the use of short tailed keywords. It is really easy to create a long tailed keyword by carefully adjusting our high competitive keywords (short tailed keywords).

Example :

Let us assume we have a flower selling website and our targeting keyword is Flower. The keyword flower is a little bit tough compared to the keyword rose flower. The search results for the keyword Flower is 142,000,000 and global monthly search volume is 45,500,000. Let us check the details of Rose Flower.Google Search result for the keyword Rose Flower is 19,200,000 and monthly global search volume is 135,000. See how easily we have reduced the competition.

Now we can reduce the keyword competition by adding one more term to the created keyword. Let us check the details of "White Rose Flower".

Global monthly search volume for the keyword "White Rose Flower " is 6,600 and the search result is 9,700,000. Now let us cross check our finding.

Short tailed keyword : Flower

Global monthly Search Volume :142,000,000

Search Results : 45,500,000


Long tailed keyword : White Rose Flower


Global monthly Search Volume :6,600

Search Results : 9,700,000




See how competition reduced. If we only target the keyword flower it is almost impossible to see the website in top results. Keyword White Rose Flower is easier to promote than the shot keyword flower.

I have been a blogger for last 5 years and started many blogs with unique contents. As the part of blogging community I have been contacted by many fellow bloggers in various blog camps. The major question I faced by them is " Hi Siju , from where you are getting ideas for fresh and unique blogger posts ? "

The question is so simple but very difficult to answer to a newbie blogger. As a blogger I know in this world very few people can create new information to the world. May be my usage of information is wrong but data is correct. So most of the content published in Internet is the different form of same data. The success of a blogger lies in his skill to make the data in to a visually different data from the source with added flavors and present it as a unique content. So a good blogger should know how to present a data in to his own words to the world.


Now the tughest task....where can I get enough data for my new blog post, I have my skill to rewrite a content and I know how to add different flavors and make it as a new data. My advice for new bloggers is

* Participate different online forums with your blog niche

* Get ideas from the community discussions

* Add your own ideas with it

* Now carefully analys the accumulated ideas and add your own flavors and words

Now it is the time to present the idea in your words without any copy paste content. Always sincere to your readers and give value to them. Readers should find some useful information from your blog post.
