Average post length is 1400 words. I’ll be adding 2500-3000 word buying guides this month.
Mainly targeting long tail keywords with 250-2000 searches a month.
I check the SERPs for competition.
If I see domains in the top 15 with low authority and little backlinks, I usually target the keyword.
I also lookout for clicks per search, ideal for me is more than 0.80.
About linkbuilding; no, I have not started the traditional linkbuilding (just yet)
I do some blog commenting... but
I’m more focused on creating shareable content like infographics and quizzes.
