How to organise my category keywords for my blog

[bridgells]

I have found a rather fantastic main theme keyword (6,608 searches, 100% PBR and 24,100 SEOC, low-med seo comp) and now I'm working on my category keywords for my blog. There are a few I could use but what I want to know is when I use the cat keywords as a title to the post, can I add words before the keyword, ie. "how to buy Category Keyword" or "how to use Category Keyword", or do I just need to use the "Category Keyword" on its own?

Thanks

It's perfectly fine to use additional words in your titles, otherwise you'll wind up with all your posts in that category with the same title :-)

Don't forget that "category keywords" are literally your Wordpress categories.

Thanks for your reply Dean. For some reason I hadn't really thought of category keywords as wordpress categories. So when we/you/they talk of long-tail keywords are they also wordpress categories or do we just use the keywords for the titles of the posts that then slot into the wordpress categories?

So let's say you have theme keywords "dog training" and you have category keywords "puppy training" so your posts with titles like "Puppy Training Myths" and "Six Puppy Training Tips" will be posted under the "puppy training" category.

Also, you could find category keywords like "puppy training collar" so you would create the Wordpress category "puppy training collar" and populate it with posts that have those keywords in the title.. "How to Choose a Puppy Training Collar" etc.

The important thing is that your Wordpress categories are not based on some sort of logical hierarchy, they are strictly based on keyword research.
