In reality, you need to get up to snuff on how to do proper (effective) keyword research.

Because your main keywords that your trying to rank any particular content for; is ultimately 90% of your battle.

You get this part of your process wrong and you’ll never come anywhere near Googles first two pages of search engine results, without paying for them!

The other really important little known secret for you to become aware of is this. As a practical matter, every free (organic) listing on any search major search engine, after the first page (for all practical purposes) is virtually worthless, when it comes to generating any type of consistent traffic!

Because (as a practical matter) every free (organic listing after # ten (meaning) free organic listing # eleven and on, generates practically no consistent traffic to speak of!

Which means every free organic listing from page two and on is practically worthless to you!

(Note: That’s not to say if your currently listed # one or two on Googles second page, you may be able to elevate yourself to page one; but if you can’t effectively move over to page one for any keyword(s) your trying to rank for, stick a fork in it because your pretty much done.)

But if you’re not applying all of them in a synergistic manner, your better informed competitors will continue to beat you like eggs.

The other thing regarding proper keyword research is this, (statistically speaking) 90% of the keywords that you select to try and rank for (for all practical purposes) are completely worthless.

Because they will generate virtually no consistent traffic for you. Which means, the remaining 10% are your (so called) money (key) words.

The other thing regarding these 10% remaining money keywords is this; because they generate less traffic, because they get searched less, they by and large are what are referred to as “long tail keyword” phrases.

Because there’s far less competition for these less searched “long tail keyword” phrases; your properly optimized content will rank up to 500% faster than the highly competitive (much) sought after more popular one -two keyword phrases.

Which also means, that in order to consistently generate enough highly targeted free (organic) traffic from the major search engines. You’re going to need to consistently rank high on Googles first page for tons of (lower traffic generating) “long tail” keyword phrases.

In a nutshell, if your not prepared to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Leave this blog now and move on. Otherwise, stick around, because what you’re about to discover, (and hopefully) diligently apply, is more than worth the effort.
