      Hello,

      How Moz can help me in finding less competitive keywords for a site based on omega masticating juicer. I had tried other tools but i am not satisfied with it.

      Kindly tell me the process to find it. Thanks.

        Optimise your company website for “long tail keywords”- we done this for our company, so for example:
        An example of a long tail keyword is “garden room companies in the city of Bath”- it’s a long tail keywords, yet if your business, sells say summerhouses, and you rank on page one of Google for this, it could improve your SEO.

          @romanjames a bit late but

          1. If I were you, I wouldn't write about a Juicer. It's better to write blogs about a skill or hobby, not a product, so go for juice making, not a juicer cause info type sites do much better than just spammy affiliate type stuff.

          2. If it's a topic you're knowledgeable about and interested in, break it down into the major categories and keep branching down. For example, idk much about juicing (all my gains are natural, pun intended, lol), but I'd probably do something like juicing for beginners, juicer assembly, juicer maintenance, juicer repair. Break the topic down as much as you possibly can. I'm trusting you to know much more about the juicer cause I'm just making this up, idek what the Omega looks like or if there's assembly required.

          Finally, once you have it broken down as much as possible, put the different keywords into Moz and see what you can find.
          Once again, if it's something you're into, I trust that this won't be hard to do, and the more you get into it, the better you become. You'll probably end up coming up with blog title keywords throughout your day every day, almost like it's a curse.
          I be brushing my teeth or commuting to work and suddenly get a juicy idea for a blog post, so I keep my phone and notepad on speed dial at all times cause.

          Remember, keyword tools aren't everything, especially if you're not into the subject. Good luck.

                Hello aspirant! I've got your question. It is pretty simple to find low competitive keywords through Moz.

                Here are the following steps:

                1. Go to Keyword explorer

                2. Enter your competitor's site URL

                3. Now set the keyword Difficulty according to your choice(e.g 15-20)

                This is the most effective method that I have used to find low competition keywords with very high search volume for my  glasvezelbehanger gezocht website.

                I hope now your all confusion is gone.

                Thanks!

                  What defines what words in a title are considered Keywords?

                  Hi, sorry if this is a silly question. I'm curious how keywords are defined. Is every word in a title a possible keyword? If I have a keyword titled "Linear Shower Drain | 40" Long", does it take the whole thing as a keyword? Is just "Linear Shower Drain" the keyword? Would "Shower Drain" pop up as a keyword, since its nested in the title? Thank you in advance for your answers!

                  Is it a bad idea to hyphenate keywords?

                  Hello, my understanding was that Google reads hyphens in keywords as spaces, but if that's accurate how come keywords with hyphens that I research with Keyword Explorer — for instance, hospital-acquired infections — rank lower when I include the hyphen? If the hyphen hurts SEO, do I have to remove them all from the blog or page in question? Removing hyphens means a blog or page will have punctuation errors, which is irritating to an editor, but I don't want to sacrifice the effectiveness of keywords, either. Thanks, in advance, for your response!

                  Keywords with and without diacritics

                  Hi, I am trying to make my site to appear in the search results even the searched term have or have not been wrote with diacritics for example: "șarpe" or "sarpe". The language is Romanian. If I seach for "Românul cu maşină, marea victimă" or "Romanul cu masina, marea victima" the first result for both searches is the same. I don't see anything special on their html code and I am wondering how do they did it. Regards, Bogdan

                  How to finalize the keywords for SEO?

                  Hi, I use the following method for keyword research: Create a long raw list of keywords. Use Google AdWords Keyword tool to find monthly searches. Find raw competition. Find direct competition (via allinanchor: search operator) Calculate KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) Calculate KOI (Keyword Opportunity Index) Is there any other (better) way to execute the keyword research? Or is finalizing/selecting the keywords only on the basis of monthly searches sufficient? In short, how to select the best keywords from a long list? Thanks & Regards

                  Price Comparison Website And Keywords

                  I run a price comparison website for a small niche at http://cdkeyprices.com I am targeting keywords for the specific products I am comparing the price/merchants on. On a typical page I would have a price column, product name, the merchant and a buy button. Buy button is affiliate linked to the merchant. The product name in the product column is the name from the actual website I am tracking. As such, my keyword was appearing sometimes up the 30 times. I've took it down some months ago but was wondering if this was a bad move. I was concerned Google would think I was stuffing the keyword. I've only just gotten into SEO the past few months so was not able to  see any changes. Should i put the product column back up or would it be considered over optimization?

                  How should I use keywords in a sentence?

                  The keywords that I target are phrases that wouldn't ever be used in a sentence... Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia My question is... Is it better to use the phrase, even though its odd? Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia is a great product Or is it better to make it a natural sentence? Ex: Stained Concrete in Virginia is a great product? Im trying to find a way to use my keyword phrases at least 4 times in the content of the pages...but it seems difficult if I have to use such an odd phrase. Thanks! Tim

                  Is "in" a keyword differentiator?

                  Does google view phrases with "in" in then as different keywords than the same phrase without an "in"? For example: is "great restaurants in chicago" the same keyword as "great restaurants chicago"? Whenever I do research on two phrases like this, they always come up with the same search volume.
