In this video, I'm going to show you a step-by-step guide on how to find easy keywords with
AHRFs that'll rank in 2021. Hey, everyone, I'm Kevin Smack. And if there's one thing I know is finding keywords for SEO, there are infinite opportunities
when it comes to keyword research, but most people don't take advantage of the best ones out there
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use AHRF to find the best long-tail keywords for
your SEO needs. So come along with me as we go through each step together and make sure not to miss anything important
If you haven't used age ref, it is a paid tool. However, there is some free nice features on it
I would definitely sign up. Basically, it can track your stuff for you
It'll track a few projects a month and it's free. Now, if you want to pay, it does do more stuff
What we're going to show you today is something that is paid. However, you do get a seven-day free trial for, I believe, it's $7 or $1. Someone can comment
let me know for sure, but it's seven days and it's pretty cheap. After that, it's up to you if you want
to continue to use it. The low plan, which I'm on, is $99.99. So $100 basically a month. I'm going to use
it for this month, and then I'll cancel for a few months until I need it again, and then I'll
reactivate it. What I basically do is when it's activated, I just grind out and get everything I can
In the future, if I start making a real lot of money, then I'll probably just keep it active so I can
continue to use it. But I'm not there yet. So let's go ahead and show you how I get keywords from here
It's not that difficult and it's a great little secret that a lot of people don't know
I would do it with wild fog, but unfortunately the domain is just too new and there's not enough out there
I mean, I only have six articles on it, and it's maybe a month old, not even
So we can't really show you on WildFog. So what we're going to do is show you on my music site, which is Stream Lofi
The actual articles are not that old on here either. They're probably about two months, but we do have enough information because the site as a whole has been around for a long time
And Google knows what it's about. And now that I've added blog posts, it knows more
So streamlofi.com is where you can find my music, which is copyright-free, commercially available too
So if you ever want to use it in a video, feel free. You'll never get any copyright issues with it
Now that we know that, let's go ahead and we're just going to click on organic keywords just to get us over to where we want to go
So now we're in Site Explorer, and this is where I do my research for keywords
And what I like to go into is competing domains. So let's go ahead and choose competing domains
As your site ranks up has more articles, this will get much more specific
And it'll get really nice and really help you out. So these are domains that HRF thinks are similar to ours and hence competing domains
In this area, you're going to see yellow. That's how many keywords they have
And blue is how many keywords that are similar to us that we use together
So there's not going to be a lot because like I see. said, I don't really have a lot of posts. I have 10 posts all together on this site. This one's
1-800-lawco or whatever, and this one's Christian Copyright Solutions, Safe Music List. Some of these
sound very similar. They sound like they're pretty decent, and what we're looking at is
keywords unique to target common keywords common keyword percentage and keywords unique to competitor So the keywords unique to competitor means they are currently ranking on those keywords
So we can see what keywords they're ranking on. So what we're going to do is choose one here
Let's go with safemusiclist.com. I'm just going to open this in another window
And I always pop it open in another window. It just makes it easier
So now I'm over here, and we're looking at, what they're ranking for. It's going to be organized by volume. So the biggest one is first
obviously, YouTube music free. And it shows the keyword difficulty, how hard it is, and the highest
position, which this is 87. So this website, when the keyword research was done, I was told this is
really tough to get into these keywords because they're very competitive. And looking here, I'm seeing a
94 and 84. Of course, a lot of that's marked YouTube. But you can see they're really, really high up
We're going to go ahead and dig deep and find which ones to get
But these are their keywords. So now we're just going to look and see which ones work
So if we go through quickly, you could see there is a lot of high word, keyword difficulties
So let's just stop right there and not go through this because we're a new site
So we could probably hit keywords maybe up to keyword difficulty 20
So why don't we go up here and click keyword difficulty and we'll put actually 15 because I think that's a high one
So from zero to 15. Now the list regenerates it with just keywords that are difficulty of 15 or under
So easier keywords. This is what I'm looking for and this is where the sweet part is
So now in this plan, you only get, I believe, 100, but what happens is you can go through the list
and when you get to the bottom you can change this. Maybe make a keyword difficulty 10
and then you might see another 15 or so at the bottom. And you can keep changing the search terms up here
just to kind of game the platform, I guess you could say
and get more. Going through here, how to avoid copyright on YouTube
That sounds pretty good, and it's only a 7. That's pretty nice
So that's something we might consider. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up my trusty notepad here
And we'll go ahead and copy this one. Thirteen hundred and I'm going to put keyword difficulty seven
Because I want to know what age ref thinks it is. Now I'm not taking their keyword difficulty 100%
If they say it's seven, okay, it's probably about a seven. but I want to make sure that it is
So I'm still going to research to see if these keywords are obtainable. Well, let's continue
Royalty free versus copyright-free. I believe we already have a keyword like that
Funny Christmas videos. It's really not copyright-ish. I do not own the rights to this music
I believe I have that one too. Let's see what else we have
Copyright-free Christmas music. How to tell if a song's copyrighted. I believe I have most of these
I'm going to bring up my list real quick so I can actually see which ones I have
All right, I'm back and I actually was a little off. So I do have things so similar, but they're not actually this
Keyword Difficulty 14, royalty free versus copyright free. Royalty free versus copyright free, that's a good one
And it even better because I know the answer to that Royalty frees when you pay for a subscription and copyright free means it just automatically allowed
I do not own the rights to this music. 800 search and I love to see the big goose egg, the big zero
That's always awesome and I got to capitalize the eye because it'll trigger me if not
And let's continue. A copyright free Christmas me. Okay. I had something similar with Christmas, but it wasn't that 15 so that's top of my range
I'd tell if a song is copyrighted. Yeah, we could do this
700 you know it's pretty good. I don't own the rights to this music
you know I have something similar to oh we have this one up here
but I do have one similar so I'm just going to put a star there
I'm going to have to research that one later on my own sometimes there's something so similar like this is how to tell if a song is
copyrighted how to check if a song is copyrighted it's very similar
so I usually try to cluster these and they're right after each other so it's not
really a big deal I could do that really easy right here in a spreadsheet I would
just go ahead and like highlight these all yellow just so that I
know they're together. And then maybe I could do one article and I could like title it this
And then inside of it, I could put this in here. So I kind of like trigger two keywords and one
article. Kind of like clustering keywords, if you will. It's something I like to do. But it's also
something I'm new at and I've been trying out. So still not awesome at it. I have something with
Facebook already. Music video credits. No, I don't think that's what we're looking for
I edit a YouTube video that's not yours. I know how to do it, but do I want to write an article on it
I don't know, that's a pretty big one. I guess let's put it down and look at it later
Royalty-free holiday music. So this could probably go near the Christmas music
even though it could be different holidays. We'll still cluster that together
Now remember, we are still only on the first competing domain, and we're still pulling in keywords that are 350, 400
Now, some of these are a little tough, but like I said, this niche is not a real easy one
There's some low-hanging fruit that we're going to take care of, but it's still going to be a while until it gets built up
And I'm in no rush, because it's a music site. You know, I generate some money off of Spotify when people listen to the music, which is cool, and it's a nice
to keep it going and almost self-sustainable. I mean, I might have to put a little extra money into it, but not much
Pretty much only new music is where it's going to be. Transition sound effects, this is something I do not have because it's a music site
so we're not going to do any of the sound effects. No copyright Christmas music
I feel like that term is like so tough. Any time you say no copyright, it's like
really rough. So how to copyright a video? That's good and I don't think I know how to do that
We'll just put it there. Ten's not too bad. Epic royalty free music
That's a service. They're actually not bad, but they weren't for me
Ooh the wedding one I might need that one Let me see if I have anything about a wedding I don So royalty wedding music though I would think copyright wedding music would be better I
how to make YouTube play this private. Well, that's pretty easy, but I don't know if that really gets into our area
You need permissions to cover a song. 15. That's on the top of our range
Now we're at the bottom, but we actually have 100. So we're going to change this to 100. Add audio to YouTube video
That's something I should type. That's something I should add, even though it's something that I don't really want to do
Like I could tell people, but it's not the easiest thing to go. go through. Music videos out of music. No. Royalty-free hold music. Not royalty-free
How to You Know If a Song's Copy-ray. We already got that. How to upload a video on Facebook with
music without copyright. Oh my goodness. That's a long one. I think we'll leave that one alone
Classical music in commercials. How to see if a song is copyrighted. Have that
Okay, so now we're at our end of our page. And the search volume's 150
So I feel pretty confident with saying we've done enough. But if we wanted, we could just look down here and the bottom one is 150
Okay. So we can go up here. We can change the keywords and we can put this
We can put the nine. Now it's select it. And now we're going to have so many more
So 150. This is where we were about where we were at
All right. So now we could go and see if there's any other ones here
We can continue to do that and continue to lower it and get even more
I had to edit video to avoid copyright. That could be too many different things
So I had a root of a copyright claim on YouTube. I don't think I want to go after that one
That's how I do it. That's how I get keywords after the sites have started
First, I use Carl, keyword care.com. I get keywords from him, and I keep buying them until he can no longer
find them and then I go and use this method because by the time I'm done using all his
keywords I should be ranking enough to have some competing domains and find some good stuff
Of course the more blue I will get in here the better I'll match up and the better will work
So feel free to give it a try if you like. It's just a hrefs.com. Not a referral. They don't
even have a referral program, but they are one of the best tools you could use nowadays
and I do highly recommend them over things like Semrush. I do like Surfer SEO as well
but for this, I like this right here. This is really nice how it does this. Surfer SEO has
some other ways to find keywords, but it's different. They do the keyword clusters
which I really enjoy as well. I do both find what you like, and hope that works out
for you. You have any questions? You can leave them down below. If anyone knows the answer
feel free to answer them. I'll do my best. Like I said, I know this tool, but I don't, I'm definitely
not an expert, and there's a lot for me to learn. I just know this because I found it somewhere
and I never let it go because it's such a good way to get keywords that other people aren't
targeting, but they're getting by mistake, basically. Of course, you could also find ones they are
specifically targeting as well. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for the view
