4. Use websites like ehow and cracked.com
Websites like ehow and cracked are based on high long-tail keywords. They engage powerful algorithms to search for these long-tail keywords. Finding these keywords as you browse these websites and creating content around them will be very instrumental.
They have robust algorithms for finding keywords. You are not in competition with them, rather seeing it as an opportunity to learn and mirror what they do.
If ehow targets a particular keyword phrase, you can rest assured that the phrase has both sales and ads opportunities. Advertisers will also be interested in placing ads on these sets of keywords. Pick the keywords and target creating better content than the lean content ehow will turn out.
5. Question and Answer Sites
Another good source of long-tail keywords questions and answer sites is similar to ehow and cracked. These websites are Quora, Yahoo, Answers, and LinkedIn Answers.
Questions are a good source of long-tail keywords. People asking questions are definitely in search of answers and relevant information.
To be precise, you will need to do keyword research to find the version of the question with the highest search volume and moderate competition. Worth noting is that all questions on the Quora or yahoo answers will not be worth your attention, and you cannot answer all the questions.
6. Check Wikipedia
Have you noticed how resourceful your Wikipedia can be? There is always one thing to learn from Wikipedia's on-page optimization. It is one of the most optimized websites on the pages of the internet.
When browsing, check the headlines, and you will notice many of them from long-tail keywords that you can use. Apart from the headlines, you can search for your root or head keywords and see variations that sometimes appear in the text.
Another part of the Wikipedia pages you will find resourceful is the "see also" section placed at the bottom of many Wikipedia articles.
We use them and find them very helpful for identifying new post opportunities.
Thanks for the resource.
