Long Tail Pro Review

• Fetch Additional Data

It consists of 2 options:

a) Domain Availability: You can simultaneously check whether the potential keyword has a domain name available.  This feature is very helpful and is exclusive to Long Tail Pro.  You can check for Exact Match Domains and also Hyphenated Domains.  You can also choose the domain extension you want like .com, .net, .org and the like.

Personally, I only go for Exact Match Domains with .com or .net extension.

b) Title Competition: This is also a neat feature.  You should know how many pages you are competing against for a particular keyword and Title competition will tell you exactly that.  It shows how many pages has your desired keywords in the title.  

• Apply Filters

Now this is the most important part of your keyword research with Long Tail Pro.  You don't want thousands of useless keywords, you want gold nugget, profitable keywords that you can easily rank for.  You can achieve this by filtering out the useless keywords with the help of the following filter options available with Long Tail Pro:

Average Local Searches:

You can determine the number of local searches you would want your keyword to have.  Set a minimum and a maximum number of local searches count and Long Tail Pro will filter the keywords which don't meet this requirement.  I set 1500 exact local searches as minimum when I am researching an Amazon focused topic, for keywords monetized by adsense the number is 3000.

Average Global Searches:

Set the minimum global searches count you want your potential keyword to have.  Personally, I just focus on the Average local searches as I tend to write more of sales and holidays related pages.

Average CPC:

Now filter keywords in terms of it's profitability.  Weed out keywords which do not have enough advertisers.  This feature is particularly useful if you want to build an adsense focused niche site.  Personally, I don't go for keywords having less than $1 CPC (Click Per Value).

One note though, when researching product keywords or keywords for sales pages, ignore the CPC column.

Number of Words:

You can even specify the number of words you want your keyword to have.  Long Tail Pro will filter out the rest.  I set the minimum of 2 words and maximum of 4 words.

Title Competition:

This is my favorite part.  You want keywords that you can easily rank for and filtering out keywords in terms of title competition is  big part of that process.  As mentioned earlier, Title competition means those pages that have your keywords in title.  These pages are your direct competition.  The less the number of title competition, the better.  

If I am thinking to build a website around the keyword I would go for title competition less than 30000.  If you are going to write on some revenue sharing sites than the number can be higher.

Has Available Domain:

This option will filter out all keywords that don't have an exact match or hyphenated domain available (Depending on your selection).
