Working with Tricky Keywords–Punctuation.
You just found a fantastic keyword. High search volume. Low competition. It’s great. If you optimize a page for this one, it’s a sure thing. It almost seems too good to be true.
And now, as you look at it a little more carefully, you think it just might be.
After all, how is anyone supposed to come up with content that makes a lick of sense for something like “Newark taxidermist deer”? There probably hasn’t been one person in history who’s ever strung those words together while speaking. It’s a sensible keyword search for someone who’s looking for a taxidermist in Neward, but how in the heck are you supposed to turn it into content?
Here’s a tip. Google and the other search engines don’t “read your punctuation”. This increases your flexibility as you design keyword optimized content for these tough terms. You don’t have to write unattractive nonsense to fit the keyword in. If you don’t believe me, “ask a Newark taxidermist. Deer hunters have relied on the expertise for decades.” Get the idea?
With a little creativity you can workaround those tricky keywords that other, less motivated webmasters, fail to use as part of their strategy. You can pull down high search engine rankings for some great terms if you’re willing to put in that little extra bit of effort.
