Fine-tuning SEO. Little work for good results
When checking your stats pay attention to longtail referring keyphrases or those keyphrases that you think might have low competition. In most cases you will find yourself ranking well for such keyphrases. For example exposed<strong>seo ranking 8th for “how to make money rings”. Believe it or not this keyphrase brings me a bit of traffic every day. Because the competition for such keyphrase is so low it won’t be hard for me to optimize for it and jump to number one spot. You probably know that the traffic difference between the first and 8th spots can be very significant.
So what i usually end up doing is browsing through my stats and picking out these keyphrases. Usually all it takes then is one backlink from a quality, related site containing this keyphrase in the anchor text and you will see yourself jump to the first position. This is very easy to do and does not take long. Give it a week or so and you should see your traffic improve.
PS: “how to make money rings” might not have been the best example as people searching for this keyprase might not be too interested in seo and marketing. Go for keywords that you think will help you .

This works best for low competition longtail keyphrases. If its more competitive you will struggle to improve anything with just a few blog comments. The links don’t necessarily have to be from higher ranked sites.
