Choosing Keywords
Just like any blogger, when I start a new post, I start with a subject or theme that I’d like to cover for that day. Maybe I find something in the news that catches my interest, or there’s a trending topic on Twitter that catches my eye, or a change to Facebook that needs some attention to make the information understandable and useful.
But once I have a topic identified, I don’t just go at it. Using the Google keyword tool, I take some time to do some research to identify keywords that are relevant to the subject at hand. And lest you flash back to some in depth research for school, let me assure you this kind is easy: you simply use the Google keyword tool, enter words or questions related to the theme you’re considering, and examine which ones are frequently searched by people on Google, using what keywords.
When you do this, you’ll get a table back with a bunch of related entries, and you might throw up your hands in despair. Don’t. Simply click the competition to organize the entries and make it easier to find what you want, particularly if you’re new to performing SEO research for your blog: A keyword phrase with high traffic and low competition.
