Blogging Tip: Keywords

Many people know how to blog, but they don't know how to blog efficiently to maximize views.  When blogging or posting on other social media sites, it is very important to look for proper keywords.  You want to use keywords that are not used in other sites, but are being searched for frequently on search engines.  Doing this will put you at the top of the list and will drive people to your sites.  To do this, go to Google Adwords or type in keyword search on Google and you will find this tool pictured below.  Type in the words you want to use for your postings and you can see how much competition there is with those words.  You might see that you want to rephrase what you are saying based on the "Global Monthly Searches" or "Local Monthly Searches" and the amount of competition there is.

As you can see above, I have done a search for keywords "veterans", "disability", and "rating".  I also have a blog about veterans issues, and I have a popular posts about the disability ratings taking a long time.  Based on the results, using these keywords will be good for me because there is little competition and a high number of searches.  You can do this with any subject and if you do it right it will bring a large number of viewers and hopefully paying customers to your site.
