Do you want to get high rankings in search? Are you looking for ways to find profitable keywords? Do you have little time and money for keyword research?
The secret of content success is to choose right keywords that your target audience are looking for and create well-shared and well-ranking content on your website. Most of webmasters are wrong when choosing high search volumes that everybody is looking for. There is much competition and they can’t stand this chance of ranking.
Long-tail keywords are easy to rank and, as they are less competitive, can help getting high-quality leads to your content. For example, Amazon gets 57% of sales thanks for long-tail keywords.
