It is therefore consequential that you to know how to select keywords when creating your content, so you aren’t just shooting without aiming at anything really.

What is a Keyword?
A keyword is an idea or topic that tells what a content is about. In SEO terms, Keywords are the phrases/words that searchers enter into a search engine search box. Different people all over the world are searching for different things, and the words they type into the search box is what is called a keyword. For example, Someone could search for “dinner gown styles” “Lions” or “Baby toys” those are keywords.

Singular Keywords vs Long-Tail Keywords
Singular keywords are one word/phrase keywords. Just like searching for cars, or dogs, or clothes. While singular keywords usually have high search volumes, they come with extremely tough competition, and can be very vague in terms of description. So someone could search for babies, and what they might be looking for could be baby toys, or baby food, or baby clothes.

On the other hand, Long-Tail keywords are clearly defined and have less competition, and a size-able amount of targeted traffic. For example, “best healthy baby food”. That is a long-tail keyword that has less competition than just “baby food”, good traffic, and targeted visitors.

SEO is like rocket science to bloggers and web owners. The more they read, the more they get confused. That's why most big brands have a yearly budget that includes SEO, they can't afford to keep up with the changing terrain

I'd advise new or existing bloggers to give out SEO jobs to experts, especially the technical SEO and they probably can be experimenting with the OffPage SEO.
