Hi

Here is an example of a niche (not a real niche). It explains well my problem:

Short tail keyword:
crazy ****

Then I discover these long tail keywords:
- crazy **** people
- crazy **** not tell your mom
- crazy **** way of making money

Then I go about register the domain crazy****.com as that is the main keyword for this niche.

This site will have 4 articles. The front page will have an article based on the keyword crazy ****, while the other pages will have article based on the long tail keyword.

PROBLEM:
In short my problem is: How do I make it rank high in Google? To be more specific I mean should I create backlinks to the main page in the niche or for the long tail articles. I suppose it's easier to rank high creating backlinks for the long tail keywords, but then I need to create backlinks for 4 different articles individually. I avoid that if I create backlinks to the main page. But the main page has a leyword with huge competition so it's hard to rank well for?

I would concentrate 70% of the backlinks to the main page, the 30% on deep linkings - backlinks to long tail articles

Does it sounds okay?

    This would be my plan:

    Total Backlinks
    70% to home page
    30% to deep pages

    Keywords
    Home Page: 100% short tail
    Deep Pages: 70% long tail, 30% short tail.

    I would also make my deep pages appear sitewide via navigation links w/ applicable anchor text.

    No, you want to backlink to your long tail pages more than the main. And with proper seo all the link juice will make its way to the TLD. You could also be creative and redirect to the main page if you really needed to but you should be able to monetize the long tail pages just as well and its super easy to rank on the long tails with just backlinks.

      Building backlinks to his main site is still important as it helps develop his long term seo progress in the niche as a whole.
