Has anyone else wondered about the constant advice regarding the importance of SEO and tagging? After taking a look at search stats/terms in channel analytics, I'm not convinced half that advice is even relevant anymore. (To be fair, some 'gurus' are now downplaying the importance of tagging).
My observation is that most search traffic still comes from the one basic keyword that is ranked by my SEO tools, as 'too competitive' to be worth it for my niche. Other search terms, long-tailed or not, bring far less traffic (like, by a mile). Also, many of those search terms that do bring a little traffic aren't even the highly ranked ones that I spent time carefully researching.
Am I looking at this wrong?
