Two good tips for SEO

[peterzhang]

I have been doing SEO for our website since the year 2007 and I found 2 really good tips to share with you here:


Tip 1: Use less popular versions of your target keywords

It's nearly impossible to get high rankings for competitive keywords. Of course, these keywords should be included on your web pages but you should also optimize your web pages for less popular keywords that are not targeted by your competitors.
For example, if your competitors target the keyword "pizza new york" then you might optimize one of your pages for "pizza new york". Even if your version of the keyword gets only a fraction of the original keyword, you will still get more visitors than before.
It is much better to rank #1 for a slightly less popular keyword (you will get some visitors) than to rank #60 for a very popular keyword (you will get no visitors).

Tip 2: Optimize your web pages for as many keyword variations as possible

Repeat tip 1 with as many keywords as possible. For example, you might use "best pizza in new york", "recommended pizza restaurant new york", etc. Even if each keyword delivers only some visitors, you will get many visitors with all keywords combined.
Another advantage of getting high rankings for many of these long keywords is that your website becomes relevant to a topic. The more high rankings your website has for keywords that are relevant to a topic, the easier it gets to get high rankings for more competitive keywords.
Optimize different pages of your website for different keywords and optimize as many web pages as possible. People who search for long keywords are usually people who really care about the subject. These people are more likely to buy something and they might also link to your site.


There two tips are really helpful according to my years of experience and I hope it helps you to generate more traffic too
