Finding sh*t loads of Long tails keywords but not sure how to create content for them.

Im finding 100's of long tail keywords that have 100-300 exact searches per month and most of the top 3 pages on google are either yahoo answers or related forum posts to the question.

Stuff that i should hopefully be able to outrank.

Now all of these keyphrases are questions that people are typing into google. Its hard to create an article about each one because a lot of the questions will only take a few sentences to answer and explain.

What would you suggest to be the best way to create content for this??

Perhaps create an online searchable FAQ section on the site or something (havent got a clue how i would go about doing that)

I would appreciate you ideas.

Thanks

Paul

    are the KWs related? if so you could have a similar questions section at the end of each answer containing three or so related links creating a silo link structure, the strong internal linking could make up for a lack of content.

    Otherwise just structure your content as two separate articles, a short article at the top answering the searchers question and a long explanation for the SE below it.

    I would make a FAQ style of page,

    Have 1 main page with all the questions listed ( keywords) .

    Then each keyword have it's own page with Title /tags/meta/etc

      You hardly need to optimize a page for each keyword! If they are related just combine 3 or 4 questions and answer them.
      Then make another post and answer 3 or 4 more and interlink them. You can easily rank for all of the keywords on the same post.

    Just throw a few dozen questions at one page and build a wide variety of anchor txt's to that page for all keywords and even more to vary it up. That should work, makes no sense to only put 3 or 4 questions at a page. Pages with a TON of words seem to rank a lot easier nowadays.

    Make thematic FAQ articles using the questions as h2

    FAQ topic 1
    Q1
    Q2
    Q3

    FAQ topic 2
    Q1
    Q2
    Q3

    No need to have a separate page for each question.

    I love these types of keywords. I wouldn't try to optimize pages for more than 1 keyword at a time though, and a FAQ type of site is a great idea. If you do it right you can have 20+ pages of content. Each page ranking for very targeted long-tails.

    It's probably not going to to make much effort to get them to the top half of page one.

    Defiantly build the FAQ page, just make sure that the content is unique, separate your page from Yahoo Answers in the SERPs.

    What I would do is build the FAQ page with every keyword/question in individual <h2> tags, then the usual answer below the individual <h2> tag.

    When you build internal/external links, use the exact question/keyword-phrase (<h2> tag) as the anchor-text.

    Just make sure all questions/keyword-phrases are 100% related to each other. Example, If it's a "How to play football" FAQ page, only have content that is specifically about football (nothing else).

    Thanks for the advice so far.

    I guess a FAQ would be the best way to do this. Though it could quickly become a very very long page if im answering 100's of questions.

    Is this ok?

    If someone was directed to my page from the search engine how would they find their question and answer if there are 100's of questions and answers on the page?

      If it's hundreds of questions/keyword-phrases, make multiple FAQ pages on the same subject.

      you can create FAQ pages for related questions. so if somebody was searching for Q5, they would also find Q1-4 and Q6-10 very helpful. Also there is no need to repeat the same question twice

      how much does X cost
      how much is X
      how much is a X
      how much does a X cost

      All that is just a single question although you can mix 2 of them to make a keyword rich h2

      how much is X - Learn how much does X cost

      It is not necessary to have the exact keyword in the text even though it does help the page become more relevant to the query. All information retrieval systems take into consideration the proximity of the words in the search query, present in the text. However, search engines also take into account the authority of the page so that a higher authority page that targets a query broadly will outrank a lower authority page that has the exact query in the text.

      related questions on the FAQ page about 'how much does X cost' could be

      how to finance X
      how to pay for X
      is X worth it
      why does X cost so much
      where to find X for cheap

      and most visitors interested in 'how much does X cost' would find these additional questions very relevant.

    I will suggest you to definitely create a frequently style of page for these particular keyword since you get a decent search volume of 300 persons per month.
