I used to have a simmiler issue with my website with the term “md5 encrypter”

I then realised that the word “encrypter” isn’t very common, but still it generates some views.

So would it be a good idea to pick unusual titles or better stick to classic?

It is really intresting. Yes only 20-30% traffic comes from the primary keywords and the rest all traffic comes from long tail keywords.

Focusing on those long tail keywords and build content can generate more traffic.

By the way Google Analytics is awesome it can generate more than 80 different kind of Analytics reports of your site.

Thanks for sharing.

I found out that some of the generic terms that get me a lot of traffic are: free, online, information, …

So yes, thanks for some other terms that are always nice to include somewhere on the page.

It’s very tough to get people to look beyond the primary search phrase that they assume they’re dependent on for traffic. Great explanation.

I’ve used hittail.com, and it’s a nice interface for seeing what long tail keywords you’re getting hits from. I haven’t had enough traffic yet to make its suggestions especially relevant, though.
