On-Page SEO:- This is the a process of maximizing your blog post content while writing it to best answer user query or questions and add useful resource content that will further benefit end readers of your article like links (internal links & external links),  video, audio, Infographics and rich image to serve as best solution for that keyword or query and be search friendly.

When you over do keyword in a webpage, Search Engine like google will know and after some time penalize you for it which can lead your site to completely get blocked by google search engine.

Before I even begin to talk about SEO, I should be sure that you know what is 'Keyword' and type of keywords before you can use them.

What Is A Keyword?

What is the different between Keyword and Keywords?

How To Do Keyword Research For Your Next Blog Post.

What is a Keyword?

keyword ( /ˈkiːwəːd/ )

[noun]

A word or concept of great significance.

Keywords are ideas and topics that define what your content is about. In terms of SEO, they're the words and phrases that searchers enter into search engines, also called "search queries."

Type Of Keywords

Popularly most blogger only know about two types of keywords but here in this guide, I would list and explain (3) three of them.

Which are:

#1: Short Tail Keywords (Common)

#2: Long Tail Keywords (Common)

#3: LSI Keywords (New)

From my experiment with Keywords Research Study, I discovered that some little preposition are good for ranking factor and this preposition individually are called LSI Keywords.

#1: Short Tail Keywords

Short Tail keywords are short search term searchers use on search engine like google to find more about the term or word like for example; "SEO" , " Blogging", "Blog", "Table", "School", etc.

Inside Long Tail keywords, we can find some short tail keyword like "Learn SEO for Blogspot" short tail keyword is not specific, so search engine shows all results for that term.

Let just say that keyword simply means Look up terms.

Short Tail keywords are difficult for beginners to the online marketing space to rank for because big companies have all it takes to be on number for that term (they pay millions of dollars to rank for it and hire SEO expert to do their optimization for them).

The only alternative to win in this Ranking Game as a newbie (beginner) is to optimize for Long Tail Keywords

Thank Your 🌟

Searchers search the web using Long Tail Keywords and Google  Search Favour us by suggesting popular search queries and user click on the one that best fit their search and boom, if your site is index or crawl for that keyword, will show up and you are likely to be choose by the searcher.

That will bring us to know what Long Tail keywords are and examples of them.

#2: Long Tail Keyword 

Think of what you would search on Google and how you would search for it to get the specific result you want, you would want to give a kind of detailed query like before you got here you might have search for " How To Rank A Blogspot Blog On Google First Page #1" and some kind of other related keywords or search term that contains a short tail keyword like; Rank, Blogspot Blog, Google, First Page #1 can up this content on Google Search.

Important Notice: You have to summit your blog site URL to Google Search Console Webmaster and Bing Webmaster for crawling and indexing before you can take advantage of first page of Search. 

Did I explained LSI Keywords before, I guess yes.

Let me give you more info on it.

#3: LSI Keywords 

This SEO optimization is easy as ABC that even a child can rank with it.

What are LSI keywords?
LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords are words that are commonly found together within a single topic and are semantically related to each other.

Here is an LSI Keyword example - Let's say your article topic is "horticulture". Typically, you would find multiple related keywords like "agriculture", "crops", "botany" and "plants". As you write naturally about a certain topic that you have done enough research for, a certain number of common keyword phrases will be naturally found for that specific topic. These phrases are called LSI keywords and are semantically linked to each other based on the topic (or the seed keyword) and search engines expect to find them in every article on that topic.

LSI keywords therefore help search engines figure out the main topic of your article. As another example, say your article topic is "cars". If your article had the words "clutch, "gas", "price", "mileage", "aftermarket", "used", then the search engines know that your article is about vehicles for transportation. However, if your article had words like "Disney", "animated", "characters", "McQueen" or "mater", the search engines would know that the article is about the D0isney movie "Cars". Hence, having related keywords in your content is critical to sending the right signals about your topic to the search engines.

"A Child Can Rank With This Technique"

What is LSI SEO?
LSI SEO is the method of optimizing the on-page content of a webpage for a specific search query by ensuring that other naturally occurring words are found around that specific search query.

Using LSI keywords in your content helps the search engines understand the exact topic of the webpage and proves to them that the webpage is relevant to the search query. It also improves your chances to rank for other high-volume keywords that are semantically related to your search query.

Why is LSI research important for On-Page SEO?
When content creators write an article, they focus on the main head keyword, and the associated long-tail keywords. However, without enough LSI keywords, their content does not read naturally.

LSI makes it easy for search engines to figure out how natural a piece of content is based on whether enough LSI keywords show up. It has been speculated that Google's Panda update uses LSI keywords to figure out the quality of the content. If enough LSI keywords are not present, the content looks unnatural and hence of poor quality.
