Free Website Promotion, Website Traffic, and SEO Tips

There are several questions I have not yet answered about keyword research. So in the next couple of posts, I will be answering them.

Here is the first one:

Right now, what do you personally do to research keywords for your websites and blogs?

Well, currently I am spending most of my time setting up and promoting blogs. I don’t spend as much time as I used to researching keywords for my websites.

For my blogs I do initial keyword research to determine the competiveness of certain niches. I do this prior to launching a new blog. When I find some keywords that seem to me like they will bring in good traffic without too much work, and those keywords would be easy to monetize then I have found a potentially good set of keywords to start a blog around.

Once I have the blog up and running, I don’t do a whole lot of keyword research. In fact, I do very little. The fact of the matter is that when both my wife and I write in our blogs we try to write things that come to us naturally. Occasionaly, we ask ourselves the question:

“What would I type in a search engine to find this post?

Then we try to include those keywords in the title of the post and possibly somewhere else in the text of the post.

If I were being paid to do keyword research for someone else’s company, then I would spend more time brainstorming keywords, doing the things I talked about in my previous keyword posts, and testing the ROI for some of the keywords (which I will be talking about more in a future post).
