In this keyword research, I believe is good. I wanted to verify one thing, however. T

Hi Larry, as others have mentioned, following up on potential keywords with SERP (search engine results page) research is also important.

One of the challenges, or at least things we must do when doing keyword research, is recognizing the search intent. So, although there may be no other articles with the exact match keyword, there are often many with keywords with the same or similar intent.

So, using your example, the search intent of "most common guitar mistakes" is similar to "common mistakes people make when playing guitar."

This is where SERP research is important because it identifies topics more than it does keywords. In this instance, some of the keywords being targeted are...

- common mistakes beginners make when learning guitar
- common beginner guitar mistakes
- most common beginner guitar mistakes
- common mistakes guitar players make
- beginner guitar mistakes

All of these have a similar intent, and this can work to our advantage and our disadvantage.

In this case, the SERPs are still competitive even though the exact match keyword is not.

However, this also means that for every exact match keyword you target, the traffic potential is often 10X or more than what keyword tools suggest because you'll get traffic from everyone typing in a different search term with similar intent.

For this particular keyword, the SERPs also provide a lot of ideas. For example, you could do research on...

"most common (classical, jazz, rock, blues, nylon string, twelve-string, acoustic, electric, etc.) guitar mistakes"

Or...

"most common (barre chord, capo, scale practice, strumming, fingerpicking, soloing, etc.) mistakes guitar players make."

Especially for a new site, it's important to target more specific keywords, even if the traffic potential is relatively low.

First, it gets you on the board and allows you to check the health of your site. For example, if only one or two other sites are targeting a keyword, you should be able to rank on the first page at the very least because Google has a limited number of results it can show.

Second, even if the traffic is low, by looking at things like bounce rate, time on page, etc., it's enough for Google to establish the level of quality its searchers can expect from your site. If your content is helpful and engaging, these indicators give you traction that takes longer to establish when you're targeting more competitive search terms.

Third, you build a moat of authority around that topic, so when you eventually target the broader keyword, Google recognizes you as an expert (or as "the" expert) not just on "common guitar mistakes" but on the entire topic of guitar mistakes spanning various disciplines and genres.

Thank you for laying that out for me like that. I may send you a PM to ask a few random questions. I'm spending so much time on getting the site ready with content that I know I will have to go back and make subtle changes.

Of course, any time. I'm happy to help :-)

The QSR is zero, Which means zero competition; does it fit with your niche, or is it a simple keyword? If so, check it with a Google search. What comes up on the first page? That can help give you an idea.

Also, for starter website SEO > 95, it is advisable to check your keyword on Google Page 1 before settling on a keyword or to find similar content to what you will produce before you go ahead.

<10 means that Google doesn't have enough stats on your keyword. However, this may change in the future and dependent context; you may want to keep it in a list and see its progress if you believe it may become a keyword goldmine.

Placing the page title in Google using quotes around it gave me this answer: About 4,660,000 results (0.60 seconds)
No results found for "Avoid Guitar Mistakes".
Results for Avoid Guitar Mistakes (without quotes):



Look for searches (avg.) above 30 and competition (qsr. ) lower than 100, the lower the qsr, the better. Starter sites SEO greater than 95.

For your choice of keywords, always do an incognito search on Google before settling on a keyword to see who appears on Google Page 1

Or you may do in Jaaxy tool search analysis

. https://my.jaaxy.com/training Your found target keywords go in the title of your post and again in first or second paragraph then write freely. Some include them towards a conclusion if it conveys a message. I'd also make sure they are grammatically correct.

most common guitar mistakes <10 <10 10 Great 90

Does this look better?

Yes, I agree with Phil's response. Your own google search certainly gives you a practical perspective of what your competition will be

It just means that (historically) Jaaxy hasn't found articles targeting this keyword. So yes, competition may be low, but that's no guarantee that your article will rank for it. You should also do your own search for that keyword and see what comes up.
