Before I go into the review, let me explain a bit about Long Tail SEO if you already don’t know.
Keyword research is the critical factor for SEO success. You cannot plan on-page or off-page SEO unless you know which keyword to target and picking the right keyword is crucial for your efforts to pay off. The more competition for a keyword, the harder it is to rank. Most generic keywords with one word have high competition. But single word search contribute to only 20% of the total search queries and rest 80% will be “single word+more specific words”, for example:  Only 20% of the people overall search for just “WordPress” and rest search for WordPress + more words like  “wordpress plugin for reviews”, “WordPress blog backlinks”, and so on. The below graph should give you a better understanding.
More generic = more competition = harder to rank.
More specific= less competition = easy to rank
Some facts about long tail SEO
- Â Long Tail Keywords are less competitive.
- They convert more sales.
- Easier to rank than most generic single or double keyword phrases.
- Generally Easy to rank since less competition.
- Attract more relevant traffic
- Targeting more cluster of long tail keywords may overtime rank you for main keyword
Targeting these more specific keywords are called Long tail SEO. Even though they contribute to 80% organic searches, long tail keywords are not very easy to find until now. But only until now.
I’m excited to share HitTail. A long tail SEO tool which could save you hours spending on keyword research, and give you perfect keyword suggestions based on your sites existing traffic.
Why you need HitTail:
What we all what is to rank higher in search engines to get traffic, and you need great content to bring traffic to your site. But wait, would content alone bring traffic? No, not just great content, you need content that offers great value, and it should be optimized(on-page SEO) for just the right keywords that bring traffic. If you are not doing the keyword part right, then your efforts will be in vain.
Most of you active in the SEO community might already know about the Google’s Humming bird update. Unlike Panda or Penguin, the Humming bird is a completely new and it aims at conversational search which are long tail. Google now likes to answer more complex and long search queries and to make the most out of this new change you can’t find any perfect tool than HitTail.
What Hittail does and how?
HitTail deals with one major part of your SEO effort that other SEO tools can’t offer, that is finding topics that your blog “can” Â potentially rank so you can create new content based on this keyword suggestion and you can also improve your old existing content. How it does: Hittail starts tracking your website traffic as soon as you setup the site with HitTail tracking code, and then based on their algorithm and matching with your existing content, you will be given keyword suggestions
You might ask why should you write about content on specific topics instead of writing topics based on keywords you find others are ranking. But once again, what brings traffic? “relevant content”, not just any content you write on random topics. After Panda update, Google started favoring niche sites with much of content relevant to other posts on the same site. So its not just about on-page SEO of one single article, but overall relevancy to the topics you publish on your blog.
For example: An article about “red flowers” on a site which only writes about “flowers” will rank higher than the others sites who write on random topics. Because site which writes only about flowers can rank easier for more specific keywords because they have more content about “flowers” in general.Â
