Hopefully if you are reading this post then you have a blog. So here’s a quick question for you. Are you using the Google Adword Keyword Research tool to write the title’s of your blog? Hey, that’s okay because I have fallen down on the job a few times myself.
Whether you use Google Adword Keyword Research tool or you have a paid version, before writing your blog post head on over to your keyword tool and type in the topic that you are interested in writing about and see how many people are searching for that topic.
You might be thinking of writing a post about something no one really cares anything about. A couple things you need to search for is how many people are actually interested in that particular term and how can you use that term to your advantage and get at the top of Google?
It’s best to try and grab a 3 or 4 word phrase that has anywhere from 1,000 to 20,000 searches for that particular term. Now here’s another tip. Check out the “Competition” column and look for something that is in the middle range, not too terribly high. You don’t want it to be too competitive because it wouldn’t be the best phrase to go after on your blog.
Find a phrase that meets that criteria, copy that phrase, head on over to Google, put it in the search bar with quotes. Now you want to see if that particular phrase has anywhere from 1,000 to about 150,000 searches for that phrase. You don’t want more than that because it will be hard to rank. Now when you find that phrase, put that in the title of your blog post and also in the first paragraph. Try and put it a couple more times in the post itself as long as it makes sense. Use an image and tag that image with that keyword phrase as well.
If you’ve had your blog up for any length of time and you set your posts up this way, watch how quickly Google will rank those particular posts if you set this up correctly. This is a really powerful tip.
Try to be keyword friendly. If you write a couple hundred posts this way, your blog is going to take off.

Unfortunately many people who have not found your post so do not know how important this was your post.
One thing I’ve read recently is the difference between traffic and searches when doing kw research. I am quite confuse about it. Traffic is said to be the number of times the search keyword is clicked in the search engine. Saying that it is wise to pay attention to the traffic not just to the massive amount of search. But somethings formulated in my mind, “why are you searching that keyword in the search engine if your not interested and not going to click the results.”
Thanks for the info on your post.

That does sound rather odd doesn’t it Emman? I mean if you’re searching for those particular keywords and you locate them, why not click through to the content to see what it’s all about. Now if you get there and it wasn’t what you were searching for then that’s understandable. Like some people put those keywords in just to get you to their place but that’s not what their place is all about. Still haven’t figured out why people waste their time doing that. Guess I’ll never know. Appreciate your thoughts on this subject. Sounds like we are thinking along the same lines.
