I know lots of people who are writing articles on the fly without even making a simple keyword research before they write the articles. That’s a big mistake here, because writing an article without targeting keywords you want to win on the search engine is simply writing an article for nothing. You are absolutely wasting your time if you don’t make a proper keyword research before you write an article.
So how you research for topics to write about?
Simply head up to Google Keyword Tool and type a general keyword from your niche. For example, my niche is “Make Money Online” or even “Article Marketing” so in this case I will type those keywords into the keyword tool.
Now all you have to do is to look for the long tail keywords. a long tail keyword is a keyword with 3 or more words like “article marketing for online business”. When you find such a keyword simply copy it and paste it into a a Google search page.
Now is the time to look at the competition. To get high rankings in the search results you must target long tail keyword with as much high search volume you can find, and the less competition you find is better.
When you find a keyword that has 3 or more words, and it has between 500-10,000 searches, and the competition is between 3000-30,000 you have a winner.
You need to find as much long tail keywords as you can and write about those topics. Sometimes you’ll be really surprized from the results you find. You will see that people are searching for crazy things that you would never knew about if you didn’t made the keyword research before you head up to writing your article.
Another thing to remember is to use even other tools for your keyword research. I will show you how to use other keyword tools on the next post.
Until then,
