          So we're doing a bunch of keyword research. We've identified the big traffic, higher competition keywords and we've identified tons (thousands) of long-tail keywords that would be appropriate. What I'm wondering is: does every keyword need its own landing page (or content page)?

          Obviously, we'll be building content for all the primary keywords we're targeting. I'm less mystified about that. What I'm more confused about is what to do about the long tail keywords. For there to be any measurable traffic increase, we need to rank well for thousands of long tail keywords. But it's just not realistic to create thousands of quality content pieces to target each of these long tail keywords individually. So how do you go about ranking for large numbers of long tail keywords?

          I saw somebody post about using an FAQ page to target multiple long tail keywords which makes sense but even with that I'm not going to have a thousand questions.

          How does one go after large volumes of long tail keywords?

          Thanks,

          --eric

            To start out with, I'd think more along the lines of unique content for each product vs. for each keyword, but yes  you want unique content for each of those pages and each page should be focused on one keyword.

              Thanks very much -- that totally makes sense. I very much like the idea of breaking things down in to manageable chunks and tackling them in smaller batches -- staring at a list of thousands of long tail keywords is certainly intimidating.

              To confirm: am I understanding you correctly that the ultimate goal will be to have unique content for all the long tail keywords?

                Agree with the above, work out what each KW is worth in terms of revenue, however, there are many KW, depending how LT and varied the KW are, that can be targetted within the same page without seeing the list of KW though, it would be difficult to estimate. We've often managed top 3 results for closely related groups of 3/4 variations around a keyword so qualifiers like "cheap" + main keyword or "buy" + main keyword (relating to price/purchase) and also quality like "boutique" or "luxury" or "budget".

                  Eric, give this a try:

                  Take one of your long tail keywords, plug it into google search and review each web page that shows up in the first page of results. Note how focused is each one is on that keyword--at the exclusion of any other keywords.  Do other searches on similar long tail keywords on your list and see if the same pages show up in the results or if a different set of pages show up in the results.

                  If you compare all of your keywords to what shows up in the search results, you're likely going to find a couple of things.  1) You're going to get a tiny taste for how much time and effort it's going to take you to create content for each of those keywords; 2) You're probably going to find that for a majority of your search terms, different sites show up for each search; 3) You're a bit overwhelmed at the realization of how much content you're going to have to create.

                  If that's the case, do yourself a favor and pare down your list of keywords to a small fraction of the total and work with those as a starting point.  Create your content for what will be your most profitable terms, keeping in mind that the whole purpose of its creation is to get your target audience members to engage with it in some fashion.  Work in your content for your longer-tail keywords to help bring in traffic for those terms as well as to provide ranking strength for your money terms.  When you've got a good grip on that, start branching out into you next tier of keywords.

                    Are FAQ's Pages Still Useful?

                    I know there has been a lot of discussion lately about FAQs pages and I'm wondering when and if they are still warranted useful and what if they have positive or negative effects on page rankings. Regards, John Brown

                    How do I fix a broken link to a product category page in wordpress?

                    We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/ I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement. I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix.  I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links.  Please tell me where to look.

                    How many words per page?

                    I know this has been answered before, but I don't think it has been in about a year (and we all know how quickly the SEO landscape can change).  We're having a little debate on it right now and I'd be curious to get some feedback from the community. What is the minimum number of words you would use on a page?  Does it matter to you if it's a second tier (website.com/x) or third tier (website.com/x/y) page? It's always a tough sell on design between trying to keep it clean and trying to provide a lot of useful information.  I'd be curious what your thoughts are.   Thanks! -Adam

                    Why is redirecting all broken pages to the homepage is a bad idea?

                    I have a site where all broken pages are redirected to the homepage. I've been told that it's a bad idea in terms of SEO. I just can't figure out why 🙂

                    How many pages is too many to add to a site at one time?

                    I have quite a bit of excellent content articles at my disposal and we would like to increase the number of pages on our site. I could, theoretically add 100's of pages at a time. Does anyone have a good sense of how much content added to a sight in mass looks bad to Google? My plan is to add approximately 50 pages a week to our site, which already has 4000 pages of content. This is relevant content, since we are a custom writing service and all topics are covered. Our content is what gives us great organic hits and orders. However, I would like to add more than 50 a week...how many is too many? Thanks and I appreciate thoughts and feedback! Karen
