Did you know that long tail keywords rank better and faster than regular short one, two and three word keywords? Long tail keywords make up more than 70% of all search queries and they on average have a lower competition/QSR which can lead to higher rankings. Why is this the case?

What do people do most times when searching on Google or the other search engines? They type in a question. Is Google Sniper a scam? How can I lose weight without exercising? How do I make money on eBay? The answer to that last question will be an upcoming training tutorial here by me, for anyone interested.

Long Tail Keywords are mainly questions for the most part and are often representative of someone who is closer to the buying phase in their search journey. These are keywords that are more specific and thus have a lower competition, making many of them also of the low hanging fruit variety.

Because of this and that there is no space restrictions for blog post titles like there are with pages, practically all of my blog post titles on my websites are all long tail keywords. But what if you have a page with a generic name like Getting Started? How can you get a keyword in your title without it making your page menu look crowded? The answer is on the next page.

Great tutorial Robert and it answers so many questions. Can a title be changed after publishing if the key words are still in the title and the permalink has not changed

Using my "Getting Started" example, I can change the keyword portion of the title as many times as I like because it is NOT part of the permalink.

Only Getting Started is in the permalink and what is in the permalink after it is published should never be changed. If the permalink is changed in any way it will cause a 404 crawl error when Google goes to crawl your content.
