traffic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the first reason is self-explanatory, we\u2019ll leave it at that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the second reason has some learning involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the RIGHT keywords for your pages is critical to your page\u2019s success, but it\u2019s tricky business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section, we\u2019ll discuss:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk about why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A short-tail keyword is any search term with 1 or 2 words. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bike shop<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRunning shoes\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCoffee\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMug\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCoffee mug\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put yourself in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/sem-strategy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">searchers\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0shoes and think for a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you use short-tail keywords, what are you looking for?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, people using short-tail keywords aren\u2019t ready to purchase yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, they&#8217;re in the early stages of research, which means 3 things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short-tail keywords are challenging to rank because they usually have a high search volume.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicks earned from short-tail keywords typically aren\u2019t super valuable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very few clicks on short-tail keywords lead to sales.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, long-tail keywords consist of 3 or more words. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBike shop near me\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRunning shoes for men over

someone gets to the point where they\u2019re using long-tail keywords, they\u2019re usually ready to buy something, which means 3 things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search volume is lower (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we\u2019ll get to search volume next<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), making it easier to rank.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A click earned from a long-tail keyword is uber valuable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re more likely to get a click from a long-tail keyword than a short-tail keyword.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We aren\u2019t saying that short-tail keywords aren\u2019t valuable \u2014 there\u2019s a time and place for short-tail keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, businesses that have decided to break into an SEO niche should focus on long-tail keywords first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Search Volume<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search volume determines how many people search Google for a keyword in a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It isn\u2019t a perfect indicator of how valuable a keyword is, but it does show that a particular keyword garners searcher interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the search volume of keywords on Google can reveal various trends in your niche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can gain insights into the economy, politics, tech trends, memes, and just about anything else you can imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using <\/span><a

volume significant when picking keywords?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search volume greatly affects how likely you are to rank for a specific keyword (and get clicks from it).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The search volume usually drops as the keyword becomes longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-word keywords have a massive search volume and may look impressive at first but are usually useless for SEO.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, longer keywords with seemingly low search volume are generally much more useful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because they\u2019re easier to rank for due to lower competition, and people searching for a long-tail keyword are often more focused on what they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-tail keywords comprise <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightedge.com\/glossary\/long-tail-keyword#:~:text=Over%2070%25%20of%20search%20queries,using%20voice%20search%20more%20often.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over 70% of Google\u2019s search volume<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but each one may only see a few dozen searches a month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, ranking for those searches is more manageable, and you\u2019re more likely to see sales from those clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, keyword length affects search volume, directly affecting keyword difficulty. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Keyword Difficulty<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answer this question \u2014 would you rather get 100 clicks out of 10,000 low-quality monthly searches or 10 clicks out of 100 high-quality, valuable long-tail monthly searches?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s easy, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You take the 10 high-quality clicks every time.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what\u2019s that got to do with keyword difficulty, you ask?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might get more clicks when you target high-volume keywords (short-tail terms), but they won\u2019t be valuable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you target low-volume terms (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long-tail keywords<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), you might get fewer clicks, but they\u2019ll be more beneficial for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice how long-tail keywords have low search volume but are precise searches that are likely to lead to sales:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

you add more keywords to your <a href=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/what-is-rank-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keyword-tracking software<\/a>, it can become challenging to keep up with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you own a gym, you may have some pages dealing with keywords related to weights and others dedicated to cardio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if you want to check on how you\u2019re ranking for cardio-related keywords?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

keywords belonging to a specific tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, we created this tag that shows all the keywords we\u2019d like to track that deal with

notifications work similarly to reports but are activated by specific triggers instead of operating on a consistent schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can set up a Trigger Notification when 1 of your keywords:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hits the top 100, top 10, or another rank

Notifications help you avoid the catastrophes that inevitably occur when you\u2019re in the dark about your ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, one of your most valuable URL\/keyword combos might have recently been outranked by a competitor and dropped by a rank or 2. You start to lose some revenue because of the decreased clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worse than that, the drop in ranks could continue until you see your URL drop off the first page of Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trigger notifications solve this problem by notifying you PRECISELY when something occurs. You can fix the issue and avoid any major problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have Trigger Notifications set up correctly, you can adapt your keyword strategy whenever something unexpected happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #6: Keep Up With Competitor Rankings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A significant benefit of using a keyword ranking tool like ProRankTracker is the ability to keep track of your competitors\u2019 rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this in ProRankTracker, use the Add Wizard to add your top competitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make sure to track the same keywords that you\u2019re monitoring for your own site.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, use the Rankings Discovery Tool to determine if they rank for keywords you\u2019re unaware of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4571\" src=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-1030x481.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-1030x481.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-1536x717.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-1500x700.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17-705x329.jpg 705w, https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/17.jpg 1596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun fact: You can also use all keyword tracking strategies we\u2019ve discussed for competitor analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitor analysis is what separates the amateur rank trackers from the pros.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you\u2019re keeping up with your competitors\u2019 ranks so you can adapt your strategy as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #7: Use Insta-Check for Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about when you just want to do some keyword research but you\u2019re not interested in adding anything to your long-term tracking list?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common scenario, and there are lots of reasons people want to check ranks without adding them to their tracked terms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitor research<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preliminary research on a new keyword campaign<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering adding a new keyword or targeting a few new keywords with an article\/page<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these cases, you\u2019ll want to use <a href=\"https:\/\/proranktracker.com\/blog\/instant-rank-checker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insta-Check<\/a>, which allows you to instantly check any URL\/keyword combo without adding it to your long-term tracking list.
