My Visitor Engagement Struggles

After recently hitting a "gold-mine" of organic search traffic, I found I wasn't engaging my audience. It was frustrating! I wrote and re-wrote the text, added new pictures, etc. But deep down I knew the problem. I just couldn't do it. I wanted to write what I wanted.

Some of them look like juicy opportunities and Kyle's "Weekly Diamond List of Keywords" is full of them. Let's look at examples of two sets of these types of keywords. 1) Let's say I found a great keyword combo called "how make apple pie" Jaaxy QSR of only 26... pretty juicy!

Should I Build Brand Site or Many Small Sites?

Site name branding versus long tail keyword marketing overlap and the answer to the question is fluid. However, if you follow you nose, the answers become more apparent. I think is true Google is leaning a little more toward authority sites. However, they cannot afford to turn their backs when their customers type long tail keywords into their browsers. They must display the best possible information, and this is their stated policy. Kyle has a web site called waystoavoidonlinescams.com. If he
