Hard to rank difficulty level 25 - 35 keywords for brand new blog?

For the brand new blog, Is it hard to rank keywords using difficulty level 25 - 35 keywords?

It is not the keyword collection that matters and it is not the publishing platform that matters.
What matters is...
- * the knowledge and writing skill of the author
** the reputation of the author
** the substativeness, comprehensiveness, usefullness, or entertainiment value of the content
** and, the level of importance that this "blog" holds in the author's mind
If I started a new website, and gave to it the four things that matter above, I think that it would take a few years to get it producing traffic at a level that would provide a good return for my time. I am better off expanding and improving another website that I have been working on for a long time, which already has traffic and a tribe.

Depends on how important Google thinks your site and blog are, what the PageRank of those feeds are (not that you'll be able to get that information). Some content feeds exist on news sites and some posts gain thousands of keyword rankings, even for very competitive terms. It's usually because the content becomes popular and generates online buzz
If you don't have anything particularly unique, exciting and newsworthy to share - you can even struggle to rank (on page / scroll 1) for keywords with as little as 50 monthly searches
To be honest, it's getting harder and harder for blog posts to rank, as people create more in-depth, more adventurous content pieces like this one:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ferrari+v12+story (the search)
https://jbrcapital.com/ferrari-finance/v12-ferraris-the-engine-that-made-ferrari/ (the content)
I picked up on this one a while ago as (at least temporarily) it was holding numerous Ferrari related search rankings
When people are creating stuff like this, 500 words of 'just some text' isn't very inspiring anymore (unless it's critically newsworthy or from a very inspiring person / source)

No SERPs contains my keyword phrase
Hi! I have a question that is the best described by an concrete example: When I use Google UK and search for a keyword "wood floor" why the top 100 search results show pages for "wood flooring" instead? Is it because that keyword is simply more popular and pages are in general better optimized for "flooring"?

Blog - SEO Better? MyCompany.com/blog or marketing.MyCompany.com/blog? Percent difference?
We started blogging aggressively 3 months ago to bolster our organic search. We are building a new website and wonder if hosting our blog directly on our site is better than marketing.mycompnay.com? Is MyComanpany.com/blog a better choice - what percentage of SEO value would it be? We are building a new WordPress website. Our blog is currently hosted on a subdomain with HubSpot software. WILL OUR SEO BE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFECTIVE HOST THE WEBSITE DIRECTLY OUR DOT COM? It won't be as convenient with HS tool but we want the best possible SEO.

Any keyword tools to do this?
Hi, I'm looking for a tool which can pull keyword idea data from Google Keyword Planner at landing page level for multiple URLs at once. Right now with Google Keyword Planner you can only manually do one URL at once. Which will give you 800 keywords. I'm looking to pull landing page keyword ideas for about 10 URLs at once, so in total i should get about 8,000 keywords. Any tools which can automate this with Google Keyword Planner? Cheers.

Keyword every blog post?
Hi Should I be looking to keyword every blog post I write? Obviously the point in a blog for most of us is to draw in traffic so should I keyword research every blog post and use that as keyword? What if there is no keyword stats for the blog im writing? I guess I just use a keyword I make up anyway and hope people type it? Thanks Chris

Duplicated string in the google keyword tool
Is it possible that the google keyword tool is wrong? It's the first time I realize that for many keywords the google keyword tool reports a big volume of searchs for a keyword as if it were tiped two times. In some cases, as the attached image, it's the same volume, in other cases is even bigger the one with the duplicated string What should I think of that, that, "champagne champagne" has really 4 million searchs? if champagnechampagne.com were an available domain name, should it be a good idea for a microsite? Thank you! t9Jwn.png
