Let's say I've found more long tail keywords that are basically the same search term.

Sample 1: "internship Germany"
Sample 2: "internship in Germany"
Sample 3: "foreign internship in Germany"
Sample 4: "internshipS Germany"
Sample 4: "doing an intern in Germany"

When I'm developing my blog to target these keywords in articles, how should I approach them? If I SEO one article to nail "internship Germany," and create another article targeting "foreign internship in Germany," is Google going to recognize this and punish both articles for being similar?

    Make these articles unique. 'Being similar' is not a problem if they are unique.

    To be honest the keyword list in OP is pretty much the same phrase being repeated. You could cover that list in a single paragraph without keyword stuffing the main keyword.

    Google does look at proximity of keywords, you can test that by removing the meta description tag from your page, wait for Google to reindex the ranked page & look at the SERP description text. Google will show some of the on-page text the bot was focused on during the crawl.

    One way to cover your keyword variations is to build an FAQ page as the main page (ex. page title: FAQs about Internships in Germany) for the target keyword then link out to additional internal pages all focused on the same subject.

      Yukon hit the nail on the head. I would suggest you write your content naturally being as detailed as possible. If you're experienced on the topic you're writing about the search engine optimization part will naturally be done. This is just my experienced opinion but I hope it makes sense and helps you reach your goals.

      Wishing you much success,

      Thk you for your detailed anwser yukon. Its still not that clear for me since im new to seo. I hope im not bothering you with another question.

      You could cover that list in a single paragraph without keyword stuffing the main keyword.
      Do you mean i could mention all the 5 samples in one paragraph? What about keyword density? Does google see the 5 samples as different or is this quiet the same for google? Lets say i mention every sample 2% in one paragraph, so at the end i woud have 10% of keword density if google sees the samples as the same one. How is it?




      One way to cover your keyword variations is to build an FAQ page as the main page (ex. page title: FAQs about Internships in Germany) for the target keyword then link out to additional internal pages all focused on the same subject
      ok. So you would write for every sample a little article which would be pointed to from the faq where the main keyword is, correct?

        Put them all on one page. Google is giving preference for pages that cover an entire topic, rather than individual pages that each laser-target single keyword phrases.

        You don't need to put all the keywords together in strings. Just get them close to each other in the same paragraph.

        In your example:

        Sample 1: "internship Germany"
        Sample 2: "internship in Germany"
        Sample 3: "foreign internship in Germany"
        Sample 4: "internshipS Germany"
        Sample 4: "doing an intern in Germany"

        internship, in, Germany, foreign, internships, doing : these all just need to be on page and preferably near to each other when you do.

        Looking for a foreign internship this summer? Check out our list of internships in Germany and hear from others that are currently doing it: working as an intern in Deutschland.

    There is no need to put all keywords in string.Another method to cover keyword variation is make FAQ page.

    That list narrows down to:
    • internship
    • Germany
    • foreign

    Singular & plural keywords don't really count for on-page, it's the same keyword, besides maybe emphasis on keyword anchor-text.

    Build multiple internal pages focused on the same subject (not necessarily exact keyword on supporting pages) then link to the page/s your trying to rank with keyword anchor-text. Build strong/relevant external links.

    Keyword proximity can also help, instead of keyword stuffing a page. Example, the plain text of an image caption is just as useful as plain text in a contents paragraph.

    Lol, I didn't even realize I already posted on this thread.

    Well. I would write unique articles and try to rank for each keyword. You can of course place more than 1 keyword per article just be sure not to do keyword stuffing!
