As you may know, keyword research is the foundation to online success.
Do you want to know how to find the best keywords for your blog? Well then, keep reading.
What I'm about to share with you should be done before you set up your blog.
But, if you already have set up your blog, that is okay.
Just take the long-tail keywords you find and use them as blog posts (with the keywords in the blog post title).
Here is how to find the best keywords for your blog: Step 1: Finding Monthly Keyword Searches The first thing to do is to determine the topic of your blog.
I'm assuming that you have already your topic.
Now the next step is to enter the main keyword into a search tool like Google Keyword Tool.
Typically, this keyword is one word like golf, baby, or toy.
These keywords by themselves are far too competitive to be able to rank well in the search engines so we are going to use the search tool to find a keyword phrase that has less competition.
Identify the keywords that have two or more words together.
These are called keyword phrases.
Note the ones that have the highest amount of searches per month.
Stay away from keywords less than 1500-2000 a month.
You will build your blog around this keyword phrase.
But first, we have to check the competition.
Step 2: Finding Keyword Competition Now, take those phrases and run a search on them in Google with quotes around the phrase to find out how many competing pages there are.
If the amount is less than 200K, you have a good keyword phrase.
Do this until you find a good main keyword phrase.
Step 3: Gathering Long Tail Keywords Okay, so now you have a main keyword phrase.
During your search, you probably came across many similar phrases.
You can take all of the related keywords and use them as blog posts.
In order to have a good chance of ranking well in the search engines, you may want to use the allintitle check in Google.
Just enter allintitle: your keyword phrase to find out how many people have optimized their titles with that keyword phrase.
Anything under 10,000 is good.
To find even more long tail keywords you can do a search on your main keyword phrase and enter the URL of the first listing into the Google Keyword Tool.
By the time you are done with this process, you will have the best keywords for your blog.
And before you know it; your blog will be ranking high in the search engines.
