You have a blog and are consistently adding a new blog every day, or at least once a week. That is great that is the first step toward getting….. traffic to your web site. However we need to think about, how potential readers will find your articles. That is what blog keyword-s are about.

Many people perform a Goggle search to to find information that they are interested in. Google refers to these searches as a keyword (or keyphrase). Having your site optimized for the best possible blog keywords can massively improve your success.

BLOG KEYWORD SECRETS

1. Find a Keyword  that has little competition. Use Goggle adwords tool, to find some  ideas that fit into the content that you are sharing. Enter your ideas into the Phrase or word box and select Search. You will have a list of monthly searches and competition. Below that you have other ideas to look at. You want your competition to be low and the search volume to be high. You can even try some synonyms.
2. Make sure to put your key words or phrase at least once in both your introduction and conclusion. This will let Google Know this is relevant content to the keywords. Make sure to put the keywords in your title. If you can get it in first or second word of the title, all the better, but make sure your writing flows.
3. Make your Blog keyword pop. It is important to use Bold, Italics and quotes on you chosen words. Skip underliing  that makes it look like a link and can frustrate people.
4. Enter the tags. They are usefull.
5. Title any pictures you add with your key words. Remember Google has image searches too.
