Hello. Today I want to make a recommendation to those getting started with Wordpress blogs. When you do your keyword research - which is the very first thing you should DO - you really ought to consider hunting for true "longtail" keywords.
True longtail keywords are 4 words and more. Believe it or not, sometimes when I'm performing keyword research I find phrases that are 3 words and have decent enough search - but turn out to be too competitive.
And if they're too competitive for myself - Jan
...then these '3 word' keyword phrases will likely be too difficult for newcomers to the game (Wordpress that is).
Now, don't get me wrong - you can STILL find some non-competitive 3-word keyword phrases. You just need to be prepared to dig down DEEP and hunt for 4, 5 and 6 word phrases you can use.
Before I forget, I want to recommend this great post that SHOWS you that 4-word keyword phrases are getting the bulk of the traffic.
What's neat is it contains CHARTS & visuals that prove that longtails are worthwhile - they convert better - as the first visual illustrates.
It makes sense if you think about it a while. When shoppers are looking for something online, & they type descriptors in.. it means they are closer to making a decision.

Since terms with more descriptors in them are fruitful, as a beginner to wordpress you should train yourself now to dig for the gold ! That's my opinion. Go to my life skills training blog for some sound keyword training.
