Keyword Difficulty Analysis: How to Choose the right SEO keywords

A successful SEO campaign almost always relies on the keywords used. As elements that search strings are matched against, they can propel a website forward, helping it rank on search engines. The significance of individual keywords, however, is slowly dwindling, and keyword-based search engine optimization is losing its strength. Blame it on black hat practices that, even when they're being cracked down, have left lasting effects. This is because there are now factors that are far more important than keyword presence:

� Keyword placement matters more than usage frequency. That is, using keywords in the title tag and header has more weight than using them five times in the content.

� Using synonyms is more than acceptable. Now that Google is more sophisticated in interpreting data of a website, keyword specificity is fading. So even if different key phrases are used, as long as they have similar context, Google can place them in the exact same category, theoretically.

� Semantic search is making a huge difference on user searches. In the past, Google dissects search queries by words. A search query about "running shoes Utah", for example, would return anything that may be related with running, shoes and even events in Utah. But with search semantics, Google interprets the meaning of the whole search query rather than just the individual words.

Along with these changes is the need to take a different approach to keyword research. Keywords still matter, but they need to be perfect to be really effective. So whatever process you have been following for as long as you can remember, you should completely forget. Even if you did rank, it turns out that you have been doing keyword research all wrong. Rather than research for high volume, low competition and good CPC keyword, or effective latent semantic index keywords, you should use keyword difficulty analysis instead.

What does Keyword Difficulty Analysis mean?

Keyword difficulty is defined as a factor that helps determine how easy or difficult it is for a website to rank based on a particular keyword. So it's no longer about short-tail or long-tail, and high or low, because other factors now come into play, such as the following:

- The number of pages currently ranking for a specific keyword
- The number of pages bidding on a keyword in paid search campaigns
- The volume and cost per click of a keyword for a particular month

If you want to go down to specifics, you also need to look into queries that you must compete for based on three elements:

1. Your competition or the number of indexed pages for a particular query
2. The authority or ranking strength of a website based on the quantity and quality of incoming links
3. The relevance of well-ranking websites in terms of how they match certain search queries with consideration to factors, such as on-page ranking and off-page signals.

Difficulty analysis also entails estimating keyword difficulty. The easiest way to do this is to check out strong and weak search results based on a keyword or key phrase that is widely used. Between "running shoes Utah" and "Nike running shoes", the latter is harder to rank with, especially for normal and less-popular blogs. There is no way you can compete with high authority blogs.

A search query on "Pebble Time review" would return the following results:

All of these make up the top 10 strong results, which is clearly hard to outrank by less authoritative websites.

But if you use long-tail keywords, there is a possibility that the results will include forums, non-relevant sites, YouTube videos, Yahoo Answers and other websites that will be easier to outrank or those that make up weak results. So, what you want is a keyword that will return weak search results.

But because there are no hard-and-fast rules in difficulty analysis, you need to use tools at your disposal. A keyword difficulty tool can come in many shapes and sizes, so to speak. It's not just a specific type of software, but a set of procedures that lets you identify keyword difficulty.

Perform difficulty analysis based on several principles

Competing Pages

Find out who your competitions are for a particular keyword or phrase. Simply type in the search terms you want to use on a search engine and check out the results. As a blog or a business, your competitors are other blogs or companies that are providing the same products or services, and using the same set of keywords. The top ten is your strongest competition.

You can further narrow down your search by looking into the number of pages being indexed that use the same search terms on the title. To do this, use one of Google's advanced search operator "allintitle", which will display websites where the keywords appear in the title.

Now that you know your competitors, it is important that you don�t make any decisions based solely on the data that you collected. Just use them as an indicator, since there are plenty of other elements that will keep you off the first page.

Top 10 Search Results

If you want to determine the metrics involved in keyword difficulty, determine the top ranking sites related to the terms you intend to use. Getting results is easy. It is making the searches non-personalized that is challenging, although not impossible. You just need to use the right tools to de-personalize your search and get the results that matter more. Using Chrome browser in incognito mode is one good example. What this does is to remove results returned based on search data and preferences, such as ads, news, images and YouTube videos.

Number of Links

Top-ranking pages are likely to have a significant number of external and domains pointing links based on certain key terms. If you use the same keywords, you would definitely have a hard time ranking. But if there is a top-ranking website with just a few direct links, you have a door of opportunity. Using Open Site Explorer or Majestic SEO, you can acquire a number of linking domains a website has. But know that a site with few high quality links can have the same authority as one with plenty of low quality links, which is why further analysis is necessary.

Off-Page Optimization

How strong a competitor website's off-page optimization is reflected on the number, authority and type of links it has, including the backlinks. Keyword difficulty analysis will look into page authority, domain authority, keyword in anchor text and the diversity of unique linking root domain.

On-Page Optimization

Now that you know who your competitors are, find out how well optimized they are. Think like a search engine and look for different signals that will help your keywords rank easily and effectively. 

      � Keyword in title tag
      � Length of the title tag
      � Keyword in H1
      � Keyword in image alt text
      � Keyword in domain or URL
      � Keyword representation in anchor text or external links
      � Content quality
      � Optimization level (over optimized or not)
      � Use of questionable SEO practices
      � Internal linking architecture of a website

You can also keep your evaluation simple by just ranking each page's optimization as none, minimal, over, fair, decent or good, and excellent. Regardless of which step you take, however, this process takes a lot of work. If you want to cut down on the amount of effort and time you spend, you should filter your keyword list to a manageable size.

Perform difficult analysis using Google search operators 

Google can be your best friend in difficulty analysis, and not just in knowing your competitions or the keywords they use. To maximize Google, however, you must use three of its special operators.

As already mentioned, allintitle returns results that contain your search terms on the title. allinurl, on the other hand display results with the keyword included in the URLs, and allintext returns search results with the keyword appearing within the content.

How do you use them to your advantage? Using the keywords "nike running shoes", for example, run a keyword difficulty analysis in Chrome. Don't forget to search in incognito mode to keep results organic and non-personalized. Take note of the total results and those that returned using Google's advanced search tools. The data you collect will look similar to the one below:

Keyword: nike running shoes

Results with allintext: nike running shoes

Results with allinurl: nike running shoes

Results with allintitle: nike running shoes

What do the figures tell you?

� If the total results are equal or close to 1,000,000, you have higher chances of ranking on the first page.
� If the results with allintext are just 50% more than the total results, keyword difficulty is very high.
� If the results with allinurl and results with allintitle is less or close to 1,000, the chances of ranking on the first page is high provided that certain criteria are met:

      o 2000+ words in-depth blog post
      o Proper image optimization
      o High Flesch Reading Score
      o Quick Load Spee
      o Good Social Shares
      o Efficient Inter Linking
      o Several high DA, PA Backlinks
      o Perform difficulty analysis using specialized checker

What is great about using Google search operators is that you will know your competitors during your research. But you can always take a shortcut through a keyword difficulty tool.

Perform keyword difficulty analysis using difficulty tools

Keyword Inspector

This is a free tool that you can use to analyze how difficult it is to rank a specific keyword. Every search term is ranked as Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Difficult and Very Difficult.

To start using it, you must first create an account. Once that is done, you can then run an analysis by typing in the keyword on the input box, choosing a country and then hit "Submit". You will get a tabulated result, with the keyword difficulty analysis indicated at the last column. It is highly recommended that you use search terms that is ranked moderate or less difficult.

Take note, however, that search results may vary from one country to the next. So don't make decisions based on them alone. Instead, combine it with other keyword difficulty tool.

MOZ Keyword difficulty tool

This tool is more comprehensive and comes with other useful features, making it an ideal choice. It may not be free, but it does give good value for your money. You can run 20 reports at one time, and a standard subscription has a daily limit of 400 reports.

To run a difficulty analysis, simply type in one or more keywords on the input box. You can separate the terms using a comma, tab or by typing it on a new line. Choose a search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) and country, and then hit "Check Difficulty" button. You will then get a report with the difficulty score and ranking factor indicated. The score is between 1% and 100%, with 1% as being easy and 100% as being very competitive.

What is great about this difficulty analysis tool is that you have the option to export the report as CSV, in case you want to run you own analysis. There is also a "Compare" button that will give you an idea which keyword has the lowest difficult score, yet has the most search volume - an excellent combination. Simply check on the keywords you want to compare, two or more at a time, and then hit Compare.

Take note that the data of search volume will always be for Bing even if you choose Google as your search engine. Don't worry though, since this would not affect the results in any way.

SEMrush

Originally a professional SEO tool designed for digital marketers, SEMrush has recently introduced a tool for keyword difficulty analysis where you can bulk check ranking of multiple keywords. It is not free, but you do get a 14-day free trial period. Look for the keyword difficulty analyzer under Tools, type in your keywords and then search for their difficulty score. You can put in a maximum of 100 search terms per line.

The great thing about this tool is that you get more in one go. That is, you not only learn about Keyword difficulty, but also Keyword Research, Competitors Analysis, and even Backlink Opportunities.

There are just a few examples of keyword difficulty tools that you can use. Among the three options, SEMrush is considered the simplest to use and is highly recommended for affiliate marketers and bloggers.

Keyword difficulty analysis can be done for app store optimization as well. Check out the result count to determine the number of apps targeting a particular keyword. Simply type in the search terms on the app store and both Apple and Google will show which apps use certain keywords. Another factor is volatility that provides a good indicator of how difficult it is to rank for a particular search term. Because finding volatility manually is hard, look for tools that you can use.

Once you have a list of keywords, sort and filter them out into different categories, such as immediate and short-term keyword targets, medium-term keyword targets that need to be groomed and grown, and long-term keyword targets that can be obtained through sustained effort.

Keyword difficulty analysis may seem like a new concept, but it is the new way of ranking in search engine results, which is why it is worth implementing in your SEO campaign.

Gluten Free Chocolate Nut Cookies (Step By Step)

Gluten Free Chocolate Nut Cookies

I once had a chewy sophisticated cookie at Payard patisserie in New York. It was then called as passover cookie. It was a chewy, chocolaty and a oh so good cookie. Sometime later I spotted the same recipe in his cookbook Chocolate Epiphany: Exceptional Cookies, Cakes, and Confections for Everyone. What surprised me was that it was such a simple recipe. The biggest surprise was that there is no added fat. No butter, No oil. The only fat that comes is from the added nuts. A one bowl recipe which takes only 5 minutes to put together.The cookie is so chewy that you feel like you are eating a toffee. The goopy batter which doesn’t look very promising turns out into a super shiny crackled cookie. Its an incredible incredible recipe. Long live Francois Payard! You are the cutest french chef I have ever known and please bless the world with more recipes like this. This makes for a really splendid sweet chocolaty treat. Lets make this cookie and feel the epiphany.

He writes in his book, “These beautiful flourless cookies are particularly in high demand at Payard during passover, but they have become so popular that we sell them year-round. Their crackled surfaces gives them an elegant look, and because they are so easy and take barely any time to make, they are great for last-minute entertaining. They have a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft, almost brownie-like interior.”

In this recipe, payard uses dutch process cocoa powder. Normal cocoa powder works too. Dutch-process cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that have been washed with a potassium solution, to neutralize their acidity. Natural cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that are simply roasted, then pulverized into a fine powder. Dutching makes it darker and can help mellow the flavor of the beans.

Lets go and make my apartment smell like a chocolate factory! Ready one, two, three – Go!

Time to toast – Toasting nuts brings out their full flavor and gives them a more pronounced taste, since it releases their natural oils.  Toast the walnuts and coarsely chop them and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is a very goopy and sticky batter and using parchment paper is absolutely necessary. Please don’t dump the batter right on the cookie pan. Use parchment or a silicone baking mat. Please please use parchment if you want to remove the cookies after baking from the pan.

Sift the cocoa, salt and the confectioners sugar. Also sifting is important to remove the little lumps in cocoa and sugar which otherwise can never be incorporated uniformly in the batter.

Add in the egg whites, vanilla and the walnuts. Just dump them all. Mix with a wooden spoon till there is no more dry specks of sugar and cocoa. It will be very dry in the beginning but will all come together into a dark thick batter.

With an ice-cream scoop or a generous tablespoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Give space between the cookies so that they do not stick when they spread in the oven. If you have extra batter, wait until the first batch of cookies is baked before scooping the next batch.

put the cookies in the oven, and immediately lower the temperature to 320 degree F. Bake for 20 minutes, or until small thin cracks appear on the surface of the cookies. Remove the cookie sheet and let it cool completely before removing the cookies from the parchment paper. It might break if you try to remove them while warm.

Store in an airtight container for up to two days.

Tamilnadu Thalappakatti Biriyani

My mom gave this recipe cut out that was published in a magazine years ago. She likes to save recipes from magazines that she finds interesting and keeps it for me. This is one such gem. She takes a lot of joy in sharing these things with me. She had brought this recipe with her on her trip to California when she had come for helping with my first pregnancy. This recipe comes from a chef called Nagendran of Thalapakattihotel in Dindigul. I had to try this recipe as the content looked authentic. I would say this recipe is the closest thing to the real one. I kind of adapted this recipe and scaled down the recipe a bit. It has a very nice flavor that is so different from all the other biriyani. Seeraga Samba biriyani has to be the pride of Tamilnadu. Seeraga samba is a very aromatic rice. The grain of the rice is very tiny and it gets its name for its resemblance to Cumin seeds, also called as Seeragam/Jeera in Tamil. It has a very distinct taste, fluffs up well when cooked and south Indian biriyani’s are made with this rice. Samba rice is grown for a longer duration than other types of rice. Here is how I do it. Heads up – There is a lot of peeling and grinding involved. So plan accordingly.

We need garlic. Like lots of garlic. Indian garlic is ridiculously small. Peel the garlic. Crush the garlic in a mixie without adding any water. Set aside.

Peel shallots. We call it as chinna vengayam – small onions. Crush the shallots in a mixie without adding any water. Set aside.

The Masala
I think this is what makes this biriyani very unique. The original recipe says to use 8 green chillies . I used only 2 as my little one loves this biriyani and I do not want him to scream for water while eating. You can use green chillies according to your taste. Grind all the below ingredients to a very fine smooth paste. Add 1/4 cup of water while grinding. Chop the ginger into small pieces and break the cinnamon into bits before grinding.

Soak the rice in water now. The rice needs to soak for half an hour.

Heat Oil and ghee in a heavy pan and add in the Masala paste, crushed garlic and crushed shallots-small onions. Fry on medium flame for a good 10 minutes until the oil separates from the mixture.

Add in the chicken. Add in the chilli powder. The ratio of rice to chicken should be 1 rice to 1.5 meat. Saute the chicken so the masala coats evenly. Reduce the flame to simmer and cover it with a lid and let it cook. Don’t add any water. The chicken will cook in its own juices. Just saute once in 5 minutes so the chicken doesn’t scorch in the bottom. After 15 minutes, the chicken should be done and there should be some gravy too.

Add in the yogurt/curd. Cook with the lid open for 5 minutes.

Remove the cooked meat to a bowl and roughly measure how much liquid is left behind. Mine had about 1.5 cups of liquid. Just measure roughly. It need not be accurate.

Measurements used – 1 cup rice = 250 ml
We are using 2 cups rice and 750 grams meat. We require 2 times water to the quantity of rice. So we need to add 4 cups water. There was already 1.5 cups gravy that we measured before. So I added 2.5 cups water to the mixture. Add salt. Add in the chopped coriander leaves and the mint leaves. Let the mixture come to a boil.

Add back the meat and let it come to a boil again. Check for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary.

Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pan. Wait for it to boil. Add in the lemon juice.

Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for the first four minutes on medium flame. Open the lid. Gently mix once from the bottom, cover the lid again and simmer for 10 minutes on very low flame.

After that time, open the lid and see if the rice has been cooked. Cook for a couple of minutes more if necessary. Switch off the flame and close the pan with a lid. Do not disturb for the next 20 minutes. The rice will get swollen and absorb all the left out moisture. This time is very important. Do not rush.

After the rest, Enjoy!

5 Plaque Removers that Really Work (Step By Step)

Your mouth is the only part of your body that does not have a natural mechanism for cleansing itself. This makes it the perfect place for bacteria. As you read this, around 600 species of bacteria are lying in wait in your mouth, and many of them are clinging to the surface of your teeth. Find out about 5 plaque removers that really work.

1. Toothbrush

Your first line of defense against plaque is of course your toothbrush. To prevent plaque accumulation, you will need to brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes with fluoride toothpaste and soft bristles, paying special attention to the tooth surfaces and tongue. The bristles on the toothbrush should be short and vertical but should not put too much pressure on you while you brush your teeth.

When you are done, rinse your toothbrush, shake it off, and let it dry completely. According to Howard Sesemann, the president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Orthodontics, it doesn’t matter if you use a manual or electronic toothbrush as long as you use proper tooth brushing techniques.

2. Dental Floss

Dental floss is another fantastic plaque remover. Plaque tends to hide between teeth and even the most meticulous tooth brusher cannot get rid of it all. Here is where dental floss comes into play. Experts recommend using floss at least once a day. Use around 45 centimeters of floss wrapped around your index fingers in order to clean all of your teeth and behind them.

3. Mouth Wash

There is another important step in your daily fight against plaque: antibacterial mouth rinse. After brushing and flossing, a good mouth wash will disinfect your mouth. Some mouth washes have plaque fighters, like fluoride, chlorhexidine gluconate, zinc citrate, and triclosan, but prescription recipes are much stronger. However, be aware that a lot of mouth washes have a high alcohol content, so if you have children, it is best to buy completely natural rinses. Look for products with mint oil, tea tree oil, or grapefruit seed extract.

4. A Proper Diet

Some foods are obviously bad for your health. Soda, chocolate bars, muffins, etc. Everyone knows that they will cause problems in your system. Other foods can be food for your body but are not as good for your mouth. Dark colored fruit, for example, can increase plaque and tooth stains because of their high content in sugar and acid (although natural sugar is much less harmful than refined sugar). Vegetables, however, are good for your entire body. They are low in sugar and acids, which is why they won’t cause plaque and stains, and if they are crunchy, the chewing motion will brush your teeth and produce useful saliva, which is a natural plaque defendant for your body.

5. See a Dentist Twice a Year

In order to get the best out of brushing your teeth, and using dental floss and mouth wash, see your dentist twice a year. Besides giving you a deep cleanse, your dentist will identify the problematic points and stop gingivitis, cavities, and gum diseases. If you are a person that is particularly susceptible to plaque attacks, your dentist can also apply a fine layer of sealant to the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

14 Anti-Aging Foods (Step By Step)

As we all know, it is impossible to prevent the passage of time, but caring for your body is important to help you look and feel healthy inside and out. Remember that your mood is reflected in your appearance and therefore how you eat influences this a lot. In this article, we’ll provide a list of 14 anti-aging foods.

Avocado

Avocados are rich in mono-unsaturated fats, which are specialists in fighting bad cholesterol. In regards to the skin, because they are a source of vitamin E, which keeps it smooth, it is very common to use them in masks for hair and face especially.

Garlic

Garlic is highly recommended for fighting heart diseases and cancer prevention. It balances cholesterol levels and improves blood circulation.

Oats

This is an important food for losing weight and fat because of its supply of soluble fiber, which suppresses appetite. It is a source of phytic acid, which prevents cancer.

Strawberries

Fruits like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries have a high amount of antioxidants. They also function as pain killers and anti-inflammatories, as well as maintaining cardiovascular health.

Lentils

Salmon

Salmon is rich in Omega 3’s, which gives the body amazing nutrients. It also has antioxidants that are responsible for regenerating and hydrating the skin.

Green Tea

Also, like the majority of the products above, this drink contains antioxidants, which are great for fighting aging and protecting the skin. It is also used for weight loss. It increases basal metabolism and boosts the nervous system. It prevents diseases like Alzheimer’s. You can apply it to the skin to cure burns.

Tomatoes

Eating tomatoes protects the body from UV light by preventing sunburns. It is also important for skin care because it contains lycopene, which has an impact on wrinkle prevention.

Linseed

Linseed is rich in fiber and antioxidants, as well as being a source of Omega 3’s, which help lower cholesterol and increase energy. Linseed is also recommended for fighting constipation and obesity.

Honey

Honey, besides containing antioxidant properties, moisturizes and smooths the skin. It is great for healing burns and scratches. It helps heal and prevent infections in skin injuries.

Remember:

It is important that you include these foods in your daily meals and you reinforce this process by sleeping the necessary amount of time, avoiding the consumption of tobacco and alcoholic drinks, constantly hydrating your body, and not being exposed to UV rays for too long.
