We recently set ourself a goal to improve our long tail keyword rankings. I will use examples for now in the photography industry:

creative photographers liverpool
creative documentary wedding photographers manchester
worldwide wedding photographers leeds
natural documentary wedding photography

Our process at the moment has been to just create pages such as http://mydomain.com/natural-document...ng-photography then write a little bit of content about us and about what natural documentary wedding photography.

Over say 50 long tail keywords i dont know how this would not be considered spammy?

Any tips?

    Targeting long tail keywords with optimized inner pages is a great idea and won't be considered spammy as long as your design your pages for your users first, search engines second. Make sure each page has plenty of unique content, easily navigated to and from and don't overdo it on the optimization side, use partial match keywords in your meta tags not exact match and you should be fine.

      Seriously? Keywords in meta tags?

      I pity whoever's buying that BSO.

      No wonder there is so much confusion out there the info is all vague, old and misleading

      There is no set way every niche and keyword group is different

      My testing has confirmed this, some niches are spammed more than others so Google has tighter controls on who will rank

      You must analyze every SERP and find out what is ranking for content and what ever you can find out, all the tools are out there free and paid

      Once you understand what is going on for your particular niche keyword group go for it and test some more

    No idea why it would be considered spammy. What you describe sounds awfully lot like a marketing blog. As long as the articles aren't just a repetition of the keyword you should be fine.

    I guess those keywords are really just examples because they make no sense at all.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
