		<description><![CDATA[Because of the very nature of the long-tail, keyword research tools miss out on a lot of keyword phrases.  This video shows you how to compensate for the keyword research tools.  In this example, keyword tools were returning around 10 related phrases for a page that had been found for over 600.]]></description>

<p>What???? </p>
<p>Yes, I know it sounds strange. </p>
<p>To illustrate my point, I wanted to highlight one page on my diabetes site (the one I built in my &quot;<a title="Wordpress for Affiliates Sites Course" href="http://improdigy.com/wordpress-for-affiliate-sites/" target="_blank">Wordpress for Affiliates Sites</a>&quot; Course).&#160; </p>
<p>Using a few of the most popular keyword research tools, I tried to research keyword phrases related to that page.&#160; The keyword research tools didn&#8217;t do badly.&#160; Between them, they managed to come up with 10 &#8211; 15 phrases related to that page. </p>
<p>I then headed over to Google Analytics to check how many phrases the page had been found for.&#160; Analytics showed me over 600.&#160; </p>
<p>Want to see the video?</p>
