Online Keyword Research Training

You should write content for your blog on a CONSISTENT basis since you’ll be providing value to your EXISTING audience – meaning people who are already visiting your blog.

Apart from this, your content will also provide food for the search engines so that they index your content, and when people type in a RELATED keyword phrase, hopefully your blog shows up as one of the search engine result pages (even without doing any prior online keyword research).

This way you get NEW visitors.

So by writing content on your blog, you provide value to your EXISTING audience as well attracting NEW audience.

You can write on any content you want to write, but you don’t simply put your content “nakedly” like that, if you know what I mean.

Let me illustrate an example.

This post is ABOUT doing keyword research correctly. So I’d spend some time writing this article, and then think about a fancy post title that’s filled with benefits and curiosity that’s related to keyword research, and then I’d simply post this article on my blog right?

WRONG!

If you were to do that, chances are only your EXISTING audience will read your article. Yes, there may be a few visitors who’ll find your post via some rare keyword phrases that you have ACCIDENTALLY targeted in your post, but you can do better than that.

There’s a much better way than ACCIDENTALLY targeting some random (and usually rare) keyword phrases.

What I should do instead is:

After I’ve decided that I want to write a post ABOUT keyword research, I write my post as usual. But for the post title, I’d do some due diligence to find a RELATED keyword phrase, and then I MATCH it to my post. I’d then use this keyword phrase as my post title (plus some CURIOUS and ENTICING words to make it more eye-catching to the human eyes).

Whenever possible, I’d put this keyword phrase at the BEGINNING of the post title for SEO purposes. This will help optimize my post for my targeted keyword phrase (which I’ve researched and found above). In addition, I want to insert this keyword phrase ONCE IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH and ONCE IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH. This will further help with my SEO efforts.

When I do this, there is a high chance that NEW people will find my post when they go to Google and type in my targeted keyword phrase. So this way I’m providing value to my EXISTING audience AND my NEW audience who are going to find me via Google.

The Criteria

The next question you might be asking is: “Okay that makes sense Welly, but what criteria do you use when you do keyword research for your blog posts?”

I use a criteria that is taught by Josh Spaulding (a COOL Internet marketer whom I have a lot of respect for) in his Article Marketing Domination guide report (not affiliate link). It’s a great guide if you want to learn more about article marketing.

I own a copy of this guide and have been using the strategies taught within for my article marketing campaign. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious in driving traffic to their website via article marketing.

(again, the above is not my affiliate link… I’m recommending Josh’s guide simply because I find it to be useful)
