Here are some insights into the world of SEO from experts like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Marie_Haynes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marie Haynes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patrickstox\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patrick Stox<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aleyda\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Aleyda Solis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimboot\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Stewart<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reva Minkoff<\/a>, and more:<\/p>\n<h2>Q1. Would you add \u201cnofollow\u201d attribute to low authority sites, even if you trust the site\u2019s content and quality?<\/h2>\n<p>The nofollow tag enables webmasters to point out some of their links that search engines shouldn\u2019t be counting. Basically, this element is a notice sign for Google and other search engines that says \u201cdon\u2019t count this link.\u201d By using this attribute, you can ensure that your nofollow links will not pass PageRank to another page. Therefore, Google will not penalize you for linking out too much or linking to a low-quality site.<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth adding the nofollow attribute to links that point to a low-authority site, even if you trust the site\u2019s content? Our chat participants believe that low quality doesn\u2019t necessarily mean bad content. In fact, there\u2019s no reason to nofollow any links, because even a low-authority site can be a good source of information and it can grow into a high-authority site in the future.<\/p>\n<p>If the content on the site that the link is pointing to is relevant to your topic and can benefit your readers, there is no use in adding nofollow.\u00a0Imagine you are reading a post on one of the blogs that you visit on a regular basis and\u00a0you see a link in the post and you don\u2019t know whether or not the author has followed this link,\u00a0the only thing you probably care about is if it\u2019s relevant to the content you\u2019re reading at the moment. The author thought it was worth putting the link on their site, so therefore the link must be worth clicking.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A1 as far as the site is reputed (as in content quality) I wouldn&#8217;t mind showing Google the same I show to my readers (I&#8217;ll dofollow it) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SEMrushchat?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">#SEMrushchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Swadhin Agrawal (@AgrawalSwadhin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AgrawalSwadhin\/status\/928293512273018880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">November 8, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A1.)

How do you incorporate user intent into your keyword strategy? How important are longtail keywords for user intent?<\/h2>\n<p>User intent has been a buzzword in the SEO community, however, it is still ignored by many website owners. User intent should inform the direction of your content strategy, it is the key to improving your SEO campaign and it gives you the information that users are trying to find when they type in a particular search query.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A2) User intent should play a huge role in KW research.

Keep in Mind Different Types of User Intent<\/h3>\n<p>The intent is categorized into three groups: informational, navigational, and transactional. These intent types can help you to identify your audience persona and which stage your target users are in your funnel. Tailoring your content to one of these categories is vital. In order to do so, you need to look at which keywords your audience is using in their search queries and keep in mind that some queries have different meanings and intents.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seobythesea.com\/2009\/06\/search-engines-and-words-with-more-than-one-meaning\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Slawski gave an example<\/a> of how \u201cSaturn\u201d is both the name of a planet and the make of a car.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A2: Good-old segmentation of keywords into &#8220;informational&#8221;, &#8220;navigational&#8221;, &#8220;transactional&#8221; and &#8220;locational&#8221; keywords, and through defining the key micro-moments. Quicker wins can be found through targeting long-tail searches, which have higher commercial intent. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/semrushchat?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">#semrushchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Neil Yeomans (@neil_yeomans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/neil_yeomans\/status\/928296840512135168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">November 8, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Integrate Long-Tail Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>Long-tail keywords are highly targeted search phrases that are designed to serve specific user intent. The good thing about these keywords is that they have low competition, but tend to have high conversion rates. Neil Patel explains <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/how-to-generate-20000-monthly-search-visitors-through-long-tail-traffic\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">good conversions of long tails<\/a> by the fact that users who type these descriptive key phrases, i.e. long-tail keywords, are usually more qualified than those who type short phrases. By discovering long-tail keywords and building your content around them you can incorporate user intent into your strategy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A2 &#8211; Longtail keywords are precious. They best describe the user intent and shall as such definitely be incorporated into the website. How?

Optimize for Topics<\/h3>\n<p>When searching for long-tail keywords, organize them by topic, so you can find the best place for them in your content. If you already have an existing blog post or article\u00a0on this specific topic, you can insert your new long-tail phrases into them.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">a2: HOWEVER &#8211; because of their uniqueness, don&#8217;t look at long-tail as a bag of words to optimize for &#8211; optimize for the TOPIC <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/semrushchat?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">#semrushchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 JP Sherman (@jpsherman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jpsherman\/status\/928296790146760704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">November 8, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>When creating\u00a0content that you want to\u00a0rank for specific keywords, it can be hard for users to find the exact information they were looking for. Fix this by using topic clusters; choose the broad topics you want to rank for and then craft your content based on specific keywords related to the specific topics.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Search for An Emotional \u201cHook\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>When optimizing for topics, value becomes even more important than ever before. It is important to serve a particular function for your audience and give them answers and solutions they need in a certain situation. Beyond that, you should create an emotional hook because people are driven by emotions. Think which keywords can help you to evoke your audience&#8217;s emotions, while keeping user intent in mind.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">A2 &#8211; I like to think about the emotional drivers behind that keyword and make sure that the meta title and description reflect their emotional needs.

Is it better to publish new content regularly or release one evergreen piece quarterly? Why?<\/h2>\n<p>It can be hard to find the right balance between the need for new content that\u2019s posted regularly and evergreen copy that\u2019s published quarterly. Even though time-sensitive content won\u2019t be relevant endlessly, it provides a few strong benefits and it helps you rank well in search engines and drive traffic to your website.
