Long Tail Potential of Keywords● Broad Match vs Exact Match Ratio● AJ Kohn – Blind Five Year Old - http://bit.ly/V2mpaS
Keyword Match Ratio
● Determine Keyword Intent● Low ratio – uniform syntax that maps to uniform intent >> fewer
variations● High ratio – less uniform syntax – more fractured intent >> more
variations
● Identify content opprotunities● High keyword match ratio – potential for more modifiers and
more relevant phrases for keyword● Indications that higher keyword match is accompanied by higher
keyword difficulty scores● Find specific intents behind high kw match ratio and produce
relevant content that satisfies and engages
