Exact Long Tail Keyword Wording?
-
Hi everyone!
I'm currently doing long tail keyword research and I'm coming across keywords such as deer wall print for nursery for the main keyword "deer wall print" which doesn't really incorporate too well into a into a grammatically correct paragraph.
Can I use something like **deer wall print for your nursery **or deer wall print is perfect for in a nursery?
Does it have to be exact reproduction if I am trying to rank for a long tail keyword term/phrase?

When you are going after long tail traffic the queries that you might connect with are A) infinite in number; B) diverse in their wording; and, C) extremely low in volume.
Because long tail word sequences usually have a low volume it is best not to fuss about getting precisely the right word sequence. Instead, it is best to write using natural language.
It is more important to increase the diversity of words on your page. You can do that by writing about paintings of mule deer for your den, framed prints of whitetail deer on the edge of a cornfield for your office, matted photos of fawns in the laurel for the nursery, a water color of an eight point buck by the lake for above the fireplace at your camp. Note we are diversifying the deer, their environment, the room where they will be displayed, the medium and the mountings -- all on the same page.
This diversity allows you to present a substantive article that will be qualified to appear in search for an enormous number of keywords and even though you never mentioned exactly a "framed painting of an eight point whitetail for your den" on this page, if someone searches for it this page of content is qualified to appear in search for it and if your website has a little power, this page might rank well for it.
Also, people buying paintings might shop deep into the SERPs or view the image results. So even if you are not at the top of the first page of the SERPs you might still get some action. And, load pages like these up with a number of images because image SERP shopping can pull in conversions for this type of merchandise.

If I insert a "stop" word into a long tail keyword, will it break it up?
I'm in the legal industry, and a lot of the long tail keywords I'm finding are search queries that are pinpointed for my location. As a result, I come up with [subject] + [location] as good keywords... for example: "subpoena duces tecum new york." (basically it's a subpoena, just the fancy name). However, I have no clue how to use something like this in a sentence....if I say "subpoena duces tecum IN new york" does the "in" break up the keyword, or is "in" just a stop word that doesn't affect the keyword? Countless examples of similar keywords "Car accident new york" etc. Thanks!

Keyword Density and ALL CAPS
Hello everyone, New member and first time asking a question! Having a disagreement about keyword stuffing on a home page. The client has 14 mentions of their brand all IN CAPS. So it's sentences like ... BRAND was established in 1968 and has become one of the biggest leaders in the donut industry. In fact, BRAND has created a strong BRAND community ... etc. [the lead paragraph is three sentences and four mentions of BRAND] A design agency that is also in the picture says that this is fine because the word appears naturally in the sentence. Can you either 1) tell me I'm wrong and explain why or 2) give me some ammo to give to my client to support my argument. Thanks! Lisa

Filler words like "for" in keyword phrase
Hey, I wonder what the effect of filler words like "on" or "for" is when I try to rank for a certain phrase. Here is an example, lets say i try to rank for "best apps iphone" but the grammatically correct usage in the headline or text is "best apps for iphone". Is there any difference or should I use the exact keyword without "for"? Thanks!

What keywords does the competition have?
I know this might be a long shot. I've been working on my google rankings and am first for a few keywords but still seeing quite low traffic. Is there a tool that allows me to see what keywords my competition is receiving high levels of traffic from? Thanks Dan

Keyword variations
I have a question about keyword variations. To be specific, let's say "blue upside down cars" has low competition but fairly low traffic. However, the shortened variation "upside down cars" has low competition but extremely high traffic. Can I double my bet by going ahead and using "blue upside down cars" whereby in some instances Google would refer traffic based on the entire keyword, but it would also refer traffic based on the the last part of the keyword which has the higher traffic ("upside down cars"). In this case, we would optimize around "blue upside down cars" with hopes of getting traffic for both keywords (the long tail and longer tail). Is there any reason not to pursue this strategy? I hope I made sense!

Keyword Difficulty
is probably a "how long is a piece of string" question but wondered how to use the keyword difficulty tool, particularly in relation to the % and the wording moderate, what are these actually saying? Perhaps some of you could give details of how you use this tool and apply the % and term to real world situations, Thanks in advance, Lee
