Stop! Avoid these common MISTAKES.

1
2
3
Do not use commas between words in
the long tail keyword
Use exact phrase without rearranging
words
Don’t mess with “s” by making singular
words plural
Keyword: “how to clean a fish tank”
![Page 16: Simple Guide to Long Tail SEO - Fandom Marketing · 2016-10-04 · Simple Guide to Long Tail SEO for dogs BLOGS From your best friends at: ... salt water fish tank guide DIY saltwater](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4cd77e708231d43e9236/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STEP 5 Optimize body copy. Be sure your target keyword is used in body copy at least TWO TIMES, once in the first paragraph and again in another.

STEP 7 Optimize the permalink. Change the permalink (URL name) to the SEO title.
TIP: Your SEO title can be different from your blog title, which is the one displayed on your blog page to visitors. A blog title should read like a headline. An SEO title is read by spiders.
