    Has anyone picked up on the idea that the more "google love" you get from long tail keywords on your site, the more the competitive ones seem to get love?

    Yes... I always go for long-tail keywords first, and then the competetive ones become (or seem to become) much easier.

    Definitely.

    One reason for this is that the long tail keywords usually have more competitive keywords within them. For example "how to lose weight very fast" has "lose weight" within it. So if you link to your site with "how to lose weight very fast" you'll also get credit for the phrase "lose weight" which is within that phrase.

    But yes as tmpax says, this is another great reason to target long tail keywords - you can get those faster but also be targeting more competitive words at the same time.

    Yeah that's basic SEO lol. What you do is, that first you target like the really bottom tier long tail KWs, and then you link from the bottom tiers to the middle tier KWs, as in "How to bet on horses to make a lot of money cheap" you link to something like "How to bet on horses" which would be a middle tier KW... then after you've done that a LOT then you link your middle tiers to the top tier, a la "Horse betting". Eventually you COULD rank for that, but that includes a LOT of work...

    Yeah, you work from the bottom up. That's what I plan to do when I start writing my superblog

    I'm sorry, I don't mean it like that.

    I mean when you have a bunch pages on your domain name that target long tails, do you notice when you get more love from google for those, pages that just target the more competitive words start to do better.

    I have a theory that google might monitor how much your site actually gets in traffic from them and that can have an affect on everything else.

    Yes I think so too. I noticed it when I was doing the jumping from launch to launh thing in the IM niche. I would write the presell on my blog and do the link fire thing on it (remember?) and after each time it got easier to rank for the next product every time.

    Probably because links to the homepage is in the wp theme, but it could be something like what you're talking about too.

    I dunno, lol.
