When I started this blog then I use to focus on single or two term keywords like SEO/Online earning.
But after 3-4 month I observed that I was not getting traffic at all and one thought created in my mind that Blogging is not simple task and I can’t do it.
Then I took suggestion from few of my friends who were success in blogging and they ask me to focus on “Long tail keywords” rather than short..but again I was confused how long tail keywords is good if their volume is very less..
But after few research I found that Long tail keywords cover your short term keywords and have very less competition so easy to rank them..
Long tail keywords like “Top 5 places to visit in India” or “Top 10 tips to improve your website traffic” have a better ranking compared to short keywords.
Statistics say that total number of sites across internet has reached more than a billion compared to just 603,367 sites that have been registered in the late 1996.
With drastic increase of internet and the various algorithms used by the search engines, Long tail Keywords was born to increase the visibility and traffic of a website or article.
Long Tail SEO is nothing but key words that have three or more than three words, that are easier to search and hence, easier to rank because of low completion.

LSI Keyword
Have you heard of it before? You have not. Do not worry; it is not a difficult thing. LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing. Sounds like a complex term, however, it is not complex. Let me simplify with an example.
In the above picture, the word that I have entered is ‘guitar tutorial’ however, in the search result neither the first nor the second result has the word ‘tutorial’. Instead, the result includes the word ‘lesson’. Moreover, the search box does not consist of the word ‘lesson’. That is the feature of LSI keywords. It is indeed a ‘Knight in shining armor’ for the bloggers. Thus, to explain it in a simpler form LSI keyword is a synonym keyword that helps in enhancing your blogging experience.
