This is my second thread about the Russian military agression against Ukraine.

The first one got too long, so I'll just start a new one every day.

Please help spread the word & tag your country's politicians to pressure them to do something meaningful. 🙏

Interesting...

Some strange people are showing up in comments to my tweets saying that some video is fake (or staged, or untrue).

Yes, there's a chance that I might accidentally spread some misinformation here and there, because both sides are actively creating it.

But!..
But what matters is that Russia is attacking Ukraine!

That is absolutely TRUE and undeniable!

My hometown is under attack. I know it for sure from the words of my friends and relatives.

THEY came to our land with weapons, not the other way around!

That's what matters!
OMG...

Some people in Serbia 🇷🇸 are SUPPORING(!!!) Putin's invasion in Ukraine.

Good job, guys 👏

Now I understand where those trolls in comments to my Tweets are coming from.

Hope not all of #Serbia is like that.

Brave Ukrainian villagers didn't let Russian military machines pass through. 💪
Lviv..

These people are waiting for a train which would evacuate them to Poland.

These are the streets of my hometown morning after the fight.

And the war is not over yet.

There will be more fights and deaths unless the world stops Putin!

#UKraineunderattack #StopPutin
Brave people of Ukraine not letting Russian tanks pass.

Look how many of them are blocking the road.

And Putin was saying that Ukrainians are waiting to be "saved from oppression" bu Russian military.

Fck off, Putin.

Another air strike alarm in my hometown.

My parents are going down to the bombshelter to wait it out.

How has your day been?
Lots of people in Kryvyi Rih are busy preparing bags with send to create protective walls for Ukrainian soldiers.

The unity of our people against the aggressor is absolutely amazing!

Moscow policemen are "packing" a grandma for walking near Kremlin with "no war" written on her bag.
Exchanging messages with a friend from my hometown, who is hiding in the bomshelter with his family right now.

This should not be happening!

Please help Ukraine!

Children are helping to weave military disguise nets.
I'm seeing two terrible messages circulating in the news:

1. Belarus is on the brink of helping Russia and sending their own troops to Ukraine

2. Putin is putting nuclear weapons on high alert (though this one seems to be an interpretation of what he said)

Not good.

New day, new thread with updates about Russian military invasion in Ukraine.

Today would be the 5th day of the war.

There are tons of news on Twitter already, but I feel compelled to share the most notable updates that I'm seeing in Ukrainian news outlets.

#UkraineUnderAttack
Today Ukrainian delegation will be having negotiations with the Russians.

They'll meet at Belarussian border. (Russians are already there waiting, Ukrainians are on the way.)

Somehow I'm pretty sure that Russians will have some utterly ridiculous demands.

But we'll see...
One of the officials in Ukrainian delegation is Davyd Arakhamia, who I happen to know personally.

(He co-founded TemplateMonster, where I used to work at some point.)

The guy is super smart and I have zero doubts in his negotiation skills. 💪

Wish them luck. 🙏 Image

The war in #Ukraine continues...

My hometown is under attack for 2 days now.

My friends had to sleep in cold bombshelters together with their families and small children.

People are shocked & terrified.

Many are dead, many more are wounded.

WE NEED TO STOP THIS!
When I started tweeting about the war in Ukraine, I thought most people would ignore me.

But I got TONS of support from you folks!

HUGE THANKS for helping me spread the information about the war in our community of digital marketers. 🙏

But the war is NOT OVER!

F-ing Putin is still attacking my home country!

Likes and retweets do help, but they are not enogh.

I'm BEGGING you to put more pressure on your government officials!

Start tagging your polititians in conversations about Ukraine and demand a reaction!

Long-tail keywords 🔑

Did you know there are two types of them?

1. Topical long-tail keywords
2. Supporting long-tail keywords

...and targeting the wrong type will likely lead to a waste of resources.

[more in the thread]
First, let's address the common mistake in the definition of "long-tails."

Long-tail keywords are NOT defined by their length in words, their specificity or propensity to convert.

They got their name from their position on the so-called "search demand curve:"
Long-tail keywords are those that have very low search volumes.

...whether they have 1 word in them or 5.

Yes, MOST 1-word keywords have high search volumes
& MOST 5+ word keywords have low SV.

But not all (see the attached pic)
