Introduction to SEO: Welcome learners to this new course on keyword research. In this course, I shall be talking about all important concepts related to keywords and their research methodologies and strategies. To begin with, let me start with the most fundamental of the concepts, that is search engine optimization or SEO. For any discussion on keywords, it is essential to talk about SEO. Keywords in ASU are best described in conjunction as both are closely interrelated. Seo stands for search engine optimization, and it's the process of adapting the content of websites to the ranking algorithms of the search engines. Search engines like Google are humungous and ever-growing databases of webpages. There are billions of pages in such hardships and every page is trying to outdo each other for the higher rankings on its targeted set of keywords. Ses primarily of two types, on page SEO and off-page SEO. Keywords are important for SEO in general, but they are at the fulcrum of all the action in on-page SEO. Since this course is about keyword research and keyword related concepts. So I will restrict myself to on-page SEO alone and how keywords ship it. Now let's dive deep into the meaning of SU beyond the definition. In the simplest of explanation, SU, particularly on-page SEO, is the strategic use of words and freezes in order around content. It helps Google and other search engines rank content according to the relevance for a query. Now everybody wants to rank their websites, blogs, or whatever they have created for the web. Without ranking, content will not be visible to the probing eyes of the right audience. It is worth less to write content if you don't find right audience for it. And as soon as the means through which you can find sustained audience for free, for prolonged periods of time. So you can make out how important and crucial SU is in terms of all the metrics of organic rankings with search engines. Furthermore, consider the ever-increasing ocean of digital content out there. Every minute, tons of pages are being added to the collection of billions of pages with the search engines. Gone are the days when people would write anything and they will find audience for their content on internet. Now when cannot assume to publish something and be found automatically by the right audience in search results. In a nutshell, the success of additional content strategy depends on search engine optimization. With this, I'll conclude this video, and in the next video, I'll explain what exactly are keywords. So keep watching, keep learning. See you in the next video. 3. What are Keywords: Now that you have understood the significance of SU, it is essential to know that keywords are the building block of SEO. Keywords are the words, inferences that helper content organically rank in search engines like Google and Yahoo. No matter how good our content rates or how valuable insights it provides. If it is not optimized by the right set of keywords, then content to not get enough organic traffic in the searches to meet any of the contents objective. Since organic ranking is based on content relevancy, as judged by the search engine algorithms. Content curators have little control over them. But by strategically using the right keywords, set critters can achieve higher rankings and sharing a relatively constant stream of free, irrelevant web traffic to their websites. If S is the basis to arrange millions and billions of competing pages for the search queries. Then keywords are at the core of ASU. Without keywords, as you is meaningless, content writers should diligently optimize every paragraph of their writing with a well-thought-out and researched keyword or a phrase. For instance, there should be keywords in the title of your articles, particularly the H1, H2 tags, et cetera. Then you should include the keywords in the first paragraph. It is considered a good SEO practice in between the body of your text and if possible in the conclusion as well. But there is one caveat. Don't overdo it. If you overdo it, it is known as keyword stuffing. And keyword stuffing is not good for your content. It will not benefit you. Rather, it will adversely affect your rankings. No content writer can afford to ignore keywords in their content. Otherwise they're contained might not organically reach the right audience or worst, find any such audience at all. Keywords or the soul and spirit of SU. And without including suitable keywords in writing, digital content is as good as non-existent. Just remember, search engine optimization is the most preferred and proven technique to get lasting targeted traffic to your website to convert it for any business purpose. If you are relying on other methods for traffic, such as pay traffic in social media traffic. Either they are expensive or they require consistent, persistent effort. And usually the gain from them is short-term and not the lasting one. Unlike the SEO. With this, I'll end this video. I hope you learn something useful here. In the next video, I'll talk about a debate between sociability and readability of digital content, which is a very important but often ignored topic in keywords and search engine optimization. So keep watching, keep learning. Looking forward to see you in the next video. 4. Readability vs. Searchability Debate: Welcome to join us. So far we have learned that SU is very fundamental and important for any digital content. And we have also learned that keywords are at the crux and the center of SEO efforts. At this point, I would like to introduce you to another concept of readability versus such ability. Because whenever you are writing something online, there are two kinds of audience. One is your search engines. Search engines are taken care of by SEO efforts, by putting the right givers it right places. And another is your human readers. If your content is not such a well then it will never reach enough number of people. And if it is such evil but not readable, then people will not have a pleasant page experience when coming to your pages. So it is possible that many people are coming to your site. You do your search engine efforts. And because content is not readable enough, they are unable to comprehend it easily. They might not convert or not deal two desired goals. With this. Let's talk about this very important concept in details. The words into phrases use my searches may or may not always be grammatically and syntactically correct. Still, these words and queries are entered several times by several people from different locations across the globe. People associate all kinds of words and phrases with specific perceived meaning in their minds. Due to this popularity in such volume, even the misspelled such terms become important keywords relevant for ASU. For instance, when looking for a cost-effective light or a hotel on Google or any search engine. Most people use the phrase, see flights are cheap hotels respectively. However, such as for these queries are not looking for substandard flights or evidence. Instead, they are looking for cost-effective services in these sectors. Grammatically incorrect phrases, man and its contents ESU, But certainly compromise the readability of writings. But remember that such adaptability takes precedence over readability of content. Since it's common knowledge that including keywords in content can sometimes compromise the articles readability. Therefore, many SU obligations are plug-ins like Rank, Math, are Yoast SEO, analyzing giver readability score of every page and post by default. These plugins also suggest changes in the writing to improve the readability score of your content. This challenge of dealing with misspent or poor send text keywords makes digital content writing a specialized lot. Web content writers have to strike the delicate balance between their contents, sensibility and readability. There is still a lot to learn about keywords. So keep watching, looking forward to see you in the next video. 5. Keywords Classification Based on Length: Not all keywords are made equal, and they vary based on several factors. The length of keywords or phrases is a significant distinguishing factor. Let's discuss two broader categories, entertaining, short tail keywords. These are smaller, usually one or two word keywords. Such words are usually generic and do not specify anything. The target, so many bases that they end up targeting nothing for most web writers. Let me explain this, consider the word laptop and observe the screenshot taken from Google. Just notice the sheer number of such results. It's humungous. This pile would have pages related to lack of manufacturing, laptop sales, laptop comparison, laptop history, laptop repairs, laptop accessories, laptop charges, laptop reviews, laptop bags, local laptop stores in various locations and so forth. It means it's not clear where someone was looking for, and hence, search engine has dished so many pages containing the term laptop in them. For instance, the keyword laptop is not much relevant for a webpage focused on selling or repairing laptops from a local store in the army Florida, United States. Such a page will not get any such traffic as it would be buried under the pile of pages of Hamelin proportions. In early days of web, search engines had limited content. Hence generic keywords or big drop due to the higher such volume, people could still get ranked and raw relevant traffic from shorter engender keywords like laptops, but not anymore. This logical issue automatically explains the need for longer and more focused keywords. So this brings us to the concept of long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords consist of more specific phrases. They're usually made of four or more words. Long-tail keywords drawn lesser traffic, but target filtered users as they tend to be more productive. Whatever traffic you're getting through, long-tail keywords is likely to convert much higher than generic, shorter keywords. Remember, it's the age of excessive competition and information overload. Search engine arches already have so much content that due to competition, the bankable keywords tend to be longer, that is long-tail. In fact, it is tough to target even three to four words keywords now. Hence usually but not always, targeted keywords consist of five or more words. Another important factor in keywords such as search intent. Long-tail keywords tend to give a clearer such intent signals to search engines. It simply means that if more specified queries are typed, the search engine can interpret queries better and list more relevant pages. From the perspective of web content writers, writing content around long-tail keywords is likely to result in lesser and focus traffic. Despite this, it translates into higher chances of organically ranking in top search results, which in turn could lead to more website visitors and convergence. Interaction. Search intent is one of the most significant such relevance effector and long-tail keywords better express it. Thus, your keyword strategy should revolve around understanding the search intent of long-tail keywords. You will understand such intent in substantial detail in the later videos of this course. So keep watching, keep learning. See you in the next video. 6. Goldilocks Zone of Keywords: Goldilocks zone of keywords. Goldilocks zone is the term to indicate that conducive zone at OnStar system where the potential for the habitable life is maximum. I have taken this metaphor from astronomy to explain the opportunity zone of keywords based on their land. For up to forward long keywords, most queries on search engines are packed with the pages. However, five to eight word can still draw good traffic and be less competitive and focused. This is the length of phrases where the Goldilocks zone of search results exist. For most businesses, particularly the smaller ones. The queries in this range are focused enough and can make leads semantic sense. There are relatively much less than people targeting such queries that they offer opportunity to rank on first page of search engines and draw lips. Observe the screenshot to understand the concept, but notice the number of results displayed in Google for on-site Apple laptop repair service in Miami, Florida. And compare this with the earliest screenshot that I had shown you in the previous video. Imagine the number of reserves that had been filtered out by using a long-tail queries and how relevant it could be for someone repairing laptops in Miami, Florida. The phrase mentioned above has much less targeted content. Thus, it can be used to create content and getting good rankings. Insert the link targeted organic leads. To summarize, Goldilocks zone offers the opportunity to target relatively longer yet focused keywords. We're chances of ranking on the host-based is up, still exist in. Thank you for watching. Keep learning, keep watching. See you in the next video. 7. Concept of Search Intent: Welcome back learners. So far I have discussed the relevance of keywords based on the length of freezes and how long tail keywords tend to be more worthy. It is also clear that longer keywords can provide an opportunity to rank in Google and other search engines. Does are a potential source of relevant targeted traffic. What a website. It sounds simple enough, isn't it? I wish keyword research was an uncomplicated linear equation like this. Life would have been a lot easier for web admin and content writers. But wait a moment, there are other layers adding complexity to keyword research. With this, let me elaborate on one of the most important keyword to such vectors. That is such intense. Search intent is a metrics that judges the relevance of a query or a content based on interpretation of intention behind the cushion. Such engines powered with Artificial Intelligence, Estimate the context of every query and evaluate the nature of expected information. But most people for that query, however, you should remember that AI such boards may not always correctly pick the such intend for every user. But broadly, it is what most people say about 80 percent would want to see for that particular query. According to edge ref, a prominent keyword research tool. Such intense answers. Why part of such queries? Think from the perspective of Google. It wants to serve its audience with the best of the results. Much like any other business, customer satisfaction is of paramount importance. Google too. And it holds true for other search engine says, well, now think of the example from previous videos where a user searches for the keyword laptop, search engines are likely to list budget laptops first rather than any article on laptops explaining features of any particular brand or model or the subquery search engine algorithm, in this case, figures out the most prominent such intent is to find a listing of a budget laptops rather than detailed blog telling about laptop features. Now what you need to do as a web content writer, besides filtering keywords with their length, niche, relevancy, article suitability and competition. It is a great idea to imitate search engines algorithm in diverting such intense before picking the appropriate keywords. At least you can try doing that. And with time and experience, you'll get better at it. Another important point, your content should be in sync with the tone and tonality of such intent of a particular query. Thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next video where I'll talk about different kinds of keywords based on different such intense gave watching, keep learning. 8. Keyword Types Based on Search Intent: Welcome learners. In this video, we shall be talking about keyword types. Based on such intense. It is clear that each keyword has such intense associated with it. And it is important to figure the search intent for our chosen keyword before picking it up for writing content. No doubt, it takes some practice and experience to judge the such intent of keywords correctly. However, some keywords have explicit and clear cut such intent aligned with them. In this video, I'll explain five crystal-clear categories of keywords. Business such intent. What are those five categories? Let me list it out. Then we will elaborate on each one of them, one-by-one, informational keywords, transactional keywords, navigational keywords, comparison keywords, and local keywords. Okay, let's talk about information keywords. Information keywords seek specific factual information, not that detailed analysis. For example, how many teams are playing in Tokyo Olympics, or how many pounds in a kilogram. These are factual cushions which are only seeking factual information, not the detail analysis. There is a relatively lesser scope and work of reading long pieces of articles around them. Secondary transaction transaction keywords are the ones that facilitate financial transactions. For example, Miami to New York flights. It's example of transaction keywords. These keywords draw high cost-per-click, that is CPC, and are usually more in demand for advertisements as they have a greater chance of resulting in sales. These keywords are also referred to as affiliate keywords. Due to this suitability for affiliate marketing, the command higher cost-per-click, more CPC for keywords bidding in periods essentially means high competition and difficulty in organic ranking for content creators. So writer should think twice before writing content around them, because it will be difficult to rank due to the competition on such keywords. 30s, navigational keywords, navigational givers are essentially brand keywords associated with well-established brand names and identities. For example, if someone writes Venus Williams in the search bar, it is clear that the intent is to know about the famous tennis star. Similarly, if someone types 9k, then there are no prizes for guessing that the subject is most likely searching for nice official website. Most such as in this case, do not have any intend to search for any blog website that on or about blogs comparing Nyquist, other brands. Horse in the list is comparison keywords. Berenson keywords are the one that seeks webpages that compare two or more things are entities. For example, consider the phrase best smartphones with quiet can. Clearly such as looking for pages, doing comparative analysis for this category here. These keywords are excellent for writing long pieces of content. As a searching. Searching for such queries are looking for detailed analysis before finalizing a product. And often affiliate Bulgars and brands, targets such keywords as the searches are already at the lower end of sale funnel, and there is much higher chance of converting them to a bear. Finally, fifth one is local keywords. Local keywords are the one that show reserves for local businesses. For instance, queries like solutes near me or best bakeries in Las Vegas. This score is, we'll list different results depending on the location. Search engines understand that local listing is what a subset is looking to see. If your business is interstate or global, then these keywords offered little use to write content around them. However, local companies can boost their search rankings among peers by optimizing their content around these keywords in platforms like Google, My Business, and local directories. To are getting these keywords can increase both leads and sales for Laplace business. So it is worth taking a shorter these keywords. If you are in a localized business relying on local customers. With this, I'll end this video. And I hope by now you have understood the significance of targeting the long-tail keywords and also how important it is to judge the right such intent of keywords before picking them up or writing a piece of content. In the next video, I will be talking about another important criteria for choosing the keywords, that is keyword difficulty or such difficulty. Hope to see you in the next video. Keep learning, keep watching. 9. Concept of Keyword Difficulty: Welcome learners. In this video, we shall be looking at a very important quantitative metrics known as giver difficulty or such difficulty. So let's have a look how it can be useful for you, particularly if you are a new website, greater keyword difficulty, KD as called by X refs, or such difficulty as portrayed by versus just is another significant filter to find keyword opportunities. Kd essentially gives us the window of opportunity around certain keywords or variation of keywords around which were literally lesser content is einstein available with search engine arches. In other words, there is higher chances of achieving top-ranking on these keywords if an optimizes their content around them. Some of the local keywords can even have decent traffic. Here. They're much less competitive as they could become the potential goldmine for businesses. As ranking pages in top SAP results becomes relatively much easier for such keywords, particularly for the new website creators. Now for the uninitiated, the competitiveness of keywords relies on many advanced factors like domain authority, number and quality of backlinks. Pointing to a page, average length, and quality of content, et cetera. Even other than this, there are over 200 factors, as pointed out in one of the earlier videos, that decides your search engine rankings. None of these factors are easy to achieve in short period. Thus, the best bet for small businesses and new website is to find a relevant keyword with the right search intent in the low keyword difficulty range. So it is clear now there's such difficulty or keyword difficulty is a very important metrics. But unfortunately, it is not easy to God's keyword difficulty of a keyword or a phrase. You need some advanced tools, such as Esref, SEMrush or Uber suggest for it. Now what I suggest is one should go for Uber suggest as a beginner because it gives you an opportunity to such three keywords everyday with your account, without paying them up any, which is a great thing. And you can access all the functionality of the tool, including looking at such difficulty. They indicate it by colors. The greener colors are usually the lower such difficulty or opportunity keywords in every niche. I'll teach you in a later video, a process by which how you can optimally utilize the free queries that comes with Europa cities account. And how you can make best of the tool, even in the free version. And if you can find out a keyword which makes good grammatic sense, means it is easy to read, makes a complete cushion or phrase. It has a such intent which aligns with your content objectives. Then your phone, a very good keyword, you should build your content around it. There is an art that comes with practice, but that is the most lasting way out to be the competition and get long-term free organic traffic from Sasha's. And I hope this video was helpful. In the next video, I'll be talking about some of the common keyword tools. Thank you for watching. Keep learning, keep watching. See you in the next video. 10. Important Keyword Research Tools: Welcome to this new video. In this video, I'll be discussing with you some of the most important keyword research tools. Let's start with the number one keyword research tool, which is the most common and most widely used Keyword Planner by Google ads, you need to create your account with the Google ads using your e-mail ID. Once you do that, you will be able to access all the tools available. But this Google Ads interface. There are several tools available here, as you can see from this list. But what we're interested in is Keyword Planner. Once you click on the Keyword Planner, this is the kind of screen that will open up for you. You are interested in knowing about the search volume and traffic forecasts for various keywords. So this is the tab that you need to click in. Let's click it and see how it works. Once you click it, you need to enter a keyword, a broad-based keyword, and around which different potential ideas will be given to you by this tool, along with their traffic and competition level. Suppose I'm entering your keywords in SU. Okay? It tells me keyword in SEO. In the Indian market, I can change the market as well. Let me change it to say United States. And I may also had united Kingdom. I can add as many territories and countries as I want according to my objectives. Let me save it here and see what are the refreshes. And there are monthly searches between 100 to 10 thousand for this keyword. And competition is low. You need to understand one thing. This tool is primarily meant for Google ads. We are using it for getting content keyword ideas. So there will be certain limitations, but nonetheless, it is still very, very useful tool for all content creators. And especially given the fact that comes from the House of Google, the data this tool provides is considered to be the most accurate out there. So these are the two verticals. We are interested in, competition and the monthly searches. So it gives us a broader idea that there are enough number of people looking for content around this keyword. But what this to Lexis, it doesn't give us such difficulty or keyword difficulty. That is, how many pieces of content are already competing for this keyword and what are your chances of ranking for it if you optimize your content with this particular keyword. This is an inherent limitation with this tool. Nonetheless, for the bigness, especially the new week content and website creators, this tool is very useful. Next important tool is the heart. The heart is basically an SEO agency, which offers quite a few useful as you're related tools, including the keyword research tool. As you can see over here, there are quite a few tools available, but what we are interested in using is keyword research tool. Let's click over here. Now I will put the same query here that I put in the previous tool and see how this tool gives us the different results and how more useful this can be. Okay, let's see. What are the reserves it has given us. The number one end. Most prominent difference is that unlike the previous tool, it gives us the exact such volume. In this case, it is 2900 per month, which is the every such volume, The US territory and usually US is the most important territory to gouge the such volume of any keyword. So by default, it is logged in as us. But you can access up to four different territories in the hot, that is US, UK, Australia, and Canada. That is a sort of limitation here. However, data from these four territories is a good enough indication to gouge the value of any keyword and opportunities around it. Another key difference with this tool is that it not only gives us such volume, but it also gives us up to a 100 variations of the keywords along with their respective data. Like for instance, this keyword density MSU has lesser volume, but it's CPC is very high. So if you're building a blog around it, that means chances of getting targeted traffic which can lead to higher paying advertisement is much higher. From the point of view of bloggers, it makes lot of sense to target high CPC key words even if the volume is little lesser than the other variation. So with this data, you can figure out the best keyword variation which can be useful for you considering the search volume, the cost-per-click available, and also the competition, it gives a score in terms of points, 1005.020.29. It is no-brainer. The lower competition is better for you. Let's move on to the next tool. So moving on to the next important tool, which is in the form of Chrome extension. It goes by the name, What's my syrup? This is a very important and useful extension which gives you a great data on keyword research without paying anything. So it's a free tool, free extension. And it works wonderfully well with the Chrome browser. Let's see how it works. Once you've installed what's myself extension in your Chrome browser, you need to simply type a keyword here in the search bar. And it will automatically show you the search volume for that particular keyword in the chosen territory over let's go with the same example. Keywords in ASU, in the US, it has 29 hundredths such volume. If you can recall, this is the same search volume for this keyword which were shown in Uber suggest. So we can be pretty much sure that the data shown by this extension is right. So in case if we find a more useful variation here, we can use that instead of the original keyword.

In this video, I'll be sharing with you my pinpointed strategy to do keyword research in the most efficient and easily. I'll be either using three tools or free version of the petals. In my humble opinion, new content creators should not spend too much money on paid tools, especially in the beginning stage. Later on, maybe you can go for certain rules for more advanced features. But in the beginning, for one or two websites, or one or two blocks per week. Free tools are free. Versions of the petals are good. Step 1, what do you need to do? Simply go to your Google browser and type the keyword that you're looking for. You should be typing the keyword here. Now what you need to do, you need to take advantage of the Google solutions. And here's some keyword ideas. Let's see how we can go about it. Before this keyword. Just simply write how, what, when or whatever is in your case, and give it a space. Just see. It shows how to use keywords enough. How important our keywords in ESU, how to use keywords in SEO articles, outward keywords in, outward keywords in. So there are so many good solution out there. These queries are actually being searched on Google every day by different people. So you can pick up your VC keyword sets and then verify them for other advanced factors like keyword difficulty or that difficulty. So that we're sure that the keyword that we're writing container on is worth over time and effort. I've taken this how to use keyword liquid, right? Another variation. What our keywords in a zoo, what our Meta keywords in SU, what is long-tail keyword in a zoo? What is the role of the wordiness? You suppose I'm picking this one. What is a long-tail keyword in a zoo? I just verified this one with another set of goals. I'll now go do this extension. This is step two. Now you can see there's not much traffic for this keyword, but it has certain relations which have better traffic and also good CPC. This particular keyword has monthly search volume of 39 in US alone, and it's CPC is around $5. So it could prove to be a good keyword if it has low such difficulty or give a difficulty. And we're going to check that in the next step using universities. Step three. We are in the interface. Once you login with your e-mail ID, you can use it for keyword searches every day without any evidence. Okay, long-tail keyword finder was the keyword that we need to check for keyword difficulty or such difficulty. We typed it here. I've chosen the language English and territorial United States. You can choose lower, isn't it? We click the Search button CD showing you two out of three free daily searches are available without any upgrade. So whatever was shown in terms of such volume and what's my search extension is true as we can convolve it with overseas. But it has SEO difficulty of 66. We're not interested in a difficulty because we don't want to go for period arrangements. We need keywords for organic ranking. So ASU difficulty or keyword difficulty, whatever you prefer to call it, is the metrics that we're looking for. Since the ASU difficulty is not optimum here, we shall be looking for other variations. And by default, we will suggest gives us some keyword ideas. As you can see over here, 10 of them that every query, and we need to look for the as the score which is in greener range or in single visit preferably. Thus, we need to look for volume CPC and the readability of the face. This particular phrase where there is a long-tail keywords, ticks the boxes in three accounts, fully, n in one account, partially. Let me elaborate this. It has very good volume 18 US alone sold over it will be having much higher volume. Cpc is again very high. Seven been for $2. And ASD difficulty or given difficulties very low. What is the problem? Problem is that it is not a grammatically correct phrase. What is a long-tail keywords? So if it was a what is a long-tail keyword, then it would have made a lot more sense. We would have immediately pick it up for content writing assignment around this niche. So now what we can do, We have two more attempts left, as shown here. So what we'll do, we'll simply check the grammatically correct version of this particular keyword. At times when there is very little error in the phrases. Ergonomically correct version also has more or less same values, but we'll just double-check it before finalizing on this keyword. Else we look for some other variation. Let me we get what are long tail keywords I've changed is to see what it shows us. Know a certificate is very high. There's no other version in this case which is worth picking up. So let me take another relation in Matata and I've made it what is a long-tail keyword? Now, again, it has very high as your difficulty. Since grammatically correct for general, these are very complicated and this incorrect version has very good traffic. Low such difficulty. So we'll find a way to include this one only in our article. And what we'll do, we'll bring in our writing craft into play, and we'll make the writer something like that. What is a long-tail keyword search process? Or what is the long tail keywords best search tool? Something on those lines so that it becomes readable and we're able to include this exact phrase.
