WHAT IS A KEYWORD?
Terms added to online content in order to improve
search engine rankings for those terms
There are 5 types of keywords:
1-Fresh keywords: refers to those keywords
that are new in the market e.g. COVID
2-Long tail keyword: A long tail keyword is a
phrase that is generally made from three to
five words. Since these keywords are more
specific than generic terms, they allow you to
target niche demographics. These keywords
are also less competitive than generic
keywords because they are designed to
better reflect how people make queries. With
long tail keywords, you are able to attract
more high-quality traffic to your website
which is more likely to lead to conversions.
3-Short tail keyword: is a general search term
that typically contains 1-3 words and covers
a broad topic. Short-tail keywords generally
have higher search volume than long-tail
keywords which means that they attract
more website visitors.
4-Geo-targeting keywords: the action of
embedding geographical information, such as
latitude and longitude coordinates, into
photos, videos and content on websites. It
enables these media to be precisely located,
allowing the users to search, filter and
organise content based on geographical tags.
5-LSI: LSI (latent semantic indexing) keywords
are words or phrases that are conceptually
related to a target keyword. So, if you
wanted your page to rank for “credit cards,”
then LSI keywords would be “money,” “credit
score,” and “interest rate.” However, it's
more accurate to refer to these as semantic
keywords.
