MNF and extra "left over" keywords.

apples · 06-21-2010, 07:02 AM

So assume I have a site that is called say www.learnhowtofish.cometc etc

So I go to MNF and see that there is a stack of possible keyword phrases like
how to fly fish
fly fish how to
fly fish learn etc etc

with say 5000,1200, 120 searched per month.

I want to maximize my seo efforts and get all the low hanging fruit, even though some key phrases may only bring in say 50 search a month.

How would I structure this in my website, what I'm thinking is.

The main page name would be "how to fly fish" and it would be visiable in the site map and left side menu.

But what about the other "crappier words". I still want to make pages about them, but as they are pretty much about the same thing as the main page it would be silly to have them listed on the left menu as well.

But what if I made these 'very low hanging fruit" pages, had them on the site map but just not on the left side nav menu, or for that matter any visable link on the page other than the site map.

If those pages with less competition rank high in the serps, then the reader could click through to the "main part" on the site and never be able to get back to that first page.

I'm thinking this way I can get more pages for my site and more possible clicks to my site.

Was that understandable?

Or should I have said what do you do with all the other keywords that you find that are very closely related to your niche but you don't know what to do with them, and you don't want to see them go to waste?

Setup each page for that specific keyword "how to fly fish", then do a lot of on-page SEO for that exact keyword just like you would do for your main keyword on the Index page.

Use the new keyword in your anchor text on other pages in your site, & link to the new page.

Myself I would rather setup my site in a Silo structure, then on the actual content page you have one dofollow link pointing to the next page with your next page as the anchor-text in the URL.

MNF is a great tool to have, & just because a domain is already taken for a lot of the good related keywords, doesn't mean you can't use them as your future page Titles, again do on-page SEO for that keyword.

Say that hxxp://www.learnhowtofish.com was already taken, but that long-tail keyword is related to my site, I could still use that as one of my page Titles "Learn How to Fish", while my actual domain might be hxxp://www.howtoflyfish.com

Maybe the already taken domain name hxxp://www.learnhowtofish.com gets 100K search per month, & say since your site is related to that already taken domain name, you use that already taken domain name as a Title for your single blog page, If your site is setup with good on-page SEO I would bet you could at the very least trail the already taken domain name in the Google SERPs. Getting a small percentage of that traffic is very much worth the little effort it takes to build a page.

I'm not sure I answered your ?'s, hope it helps some.
