What is the best method for ranking high for long tail keywords?

Just add good quality contents, use same long tail keyword as your title and related url, description to the website. Check keyword density once you add the contents.

Quality is the key. If you can do "guest posting" on a high authority site related to your blogs, that's the best way to rank.

Increase the keyword density, or consider using them in subheadings as well. Otherwise, build links. Pretty simple stuff....

Thanks, guys. So, I am guessing that anchor text back links are just as important for ranking long tail keywords as they are for short keywords?

Unfortunately, I'm not a very strong writer. Is there another off-page SEO way to rank long tail keywords that is just as effective as blog guest posting?

Wow, WF is getting bad. I was emailed over this worthless thread.

Content: The average word count for first page placement is 2,300 words long. I have seen a trend that longer and high quality content ranks much better. increase your word count.

Make sure your title and H tags have other long tail variations.

Email Outreach: email other top bloggers that have semi-related content and ask for links. You can find email templates anywhere that are effective.

Guest Post: Yes, they still work and work well as long as you don't guest post on trash sites.

Social: Make sure you promote your post in social media on your accounts.

This is not rocket science and it's fairly easy to do...even if you're not a writer.

You can get content on Iwriter, odesk, elance and other places online for a fairly low price.

for outreach, they will likely anchor it with some variation of your title, all guest post should be branding and/or URL links. Never use keywords in anchor text on guest post.

You also get a boost if you link to your social accounts in guest post.

To rank long tailed keywords (or any keywords) you need to Build backlinks on high PR pages, using those keywords as your anchor text. The backlinks need to be dofollow, and are better if they are contextual (surrounded by related text) and relevant (on sites in your niche). Also, when building backlinks, make sure to vary your anchor text by using synonyms/variations of your targeted keywords.

Hi

I'm going to go against the grain of everything said here

before you can plan your attack you need to know what kind of Domain Authority your competition has against yours

next you need to know why they are ranking

I am finding many websites are ranking top ten without even the keyword in any of its content

with that being said if your competitors are ranking without the main keyword to be found in their content they can only be ranking based on their authority

I'm basing this against millions and millions of keywords being tested

if you look at this youtube video I can demonstrate what I mean with having no keyword phrases in the content for all 10 rankings but they still rank




sorry for hijacking the thread but

something wrong here I can't see youtube videos anymore no matter what thread I am on

If you've got 50% of the first 10 rankings it's possible that's all you'll get for that single webpage, so why not just write another page about the same topic and make it better then the original. ???

Most of the advice in this thread is way off and screwed because some of those who posted replies stand to benefit if you buy their link package from them.

How much searches per month is ok for one long tail keyword?

With Google's new ranking algorithm you need to not only be using the right keywords, but your page content needs to show as an authority on the subject to Google. Basically you can rank for keywords now without ever using those keywords if the rest of the content on the page is very relevant to that keyword.

Consider a site about any topic, real experts will be using a lot of words that Google knows are relevant to that topic, so Google not only looks to see what keyword your page looks like it is targeting, but if the page content is using other words that are also appropriate for that topic. This is where "quality" content comes in, if your content is truly "quality" on a topic you will naturally be using lots of words or phrases that relate to the topic of your page.

So, how do you do this? First longer content will naturally be using more words, and more words means more chances to have related words in the content. Second you need to do a little bit more detailed research on the word or phrase you selected as your keyword. Make a list of other words or phrases that an expert in that topic would likely use and then make sure you get those words into your page as well.

It is no longer just about picking the right keyword/phrase, Google's new algorithm looks at all of the text on your page and gives it a quality score as well. The more you sound like an expert based upon the words/phrases you use in your content the higher you will place on the page. And, yes this also means that you can get 1st page placement for keywords that you don't use if you happen to use a lot of other words that are related to that keyword.

Bottom line, write great content.

Wow. It looks like I stirred the pot with my original post and really got a great discussion started on this topic. Thank you all for the helpful replies! I am learning so much on this forum.
