Effective blogging keywords are like gold mine to the blogger

They are just waiting to be discovered. Get your blog post noticed in the search results with some tweaking on the keywords.

You have written a post and now you are about to publish it on your website, Wait you are doing a mistake. Have you made your keyword tags and keyword search for your post? If not than do it and then publish your article. Thinking “Why to do that? It is useless and time consuming”, No it is not. Your article is not going to get its place in the top search results if keywords are not created effectively.

Without Keywords pointing to your article the search engine bot won’t be able to crawl your article and list it in the search results. Now the question comes is how to find keywords best matching your article and are unique to get noticed. Using common keywords is not going to get you traffic so you need to do some exercise with tools and your mind. We will discuss that with you later in this post.

 

First thing first “What are keywords and how do they affect your blog popularity index”

We will discuss why Keywords comes into blogging picture and what role they play in making your blog a hit in the internet market.

Keywords are usually the marking words describing your post and that tells the reader what is your article about and what information they are going to get after reading the article. It is a medium for search engines bot to target best articles in the internet world and publish the results of the queries types by the person sitting on the other side of the laptop screen (the probable reader of your post). By the term Keywords we mean short phrases and single words like “marketing strategies, blogging startups, health” etc.

You need to do some head scratching to find some really good keywords that you think will form a part of some query in search engines. Simple way is to make a list of words that comes to your mind while writing a post article, words that you think will be searched over internet and are related to your post. Now form keywords joining those words you listed and do a little research knowing what keywords you are going to target to get traffic to your website.

If we do some research on the click through rates of the search engine results we will find that almost 32% of the clicks are made on the top ranked page while the page that sits on the second and third position of the search result get only 18% and 11% of clicks and traffic respectively. And in the similar fashion the rate of traffic goes on reducing with the page rank position. Now if the keyword you want to rank for gets 500 searches a month, here’s how many clicks you’ll get from that keyword depending on where your page shows up in the rankings.

1st position          195

2nd position       110

3rd position        90

4th position        60

5th position        30

 

 

That means going after keywords with less competition can make up for a keyword having less overall search queries. That’s because you’re more likely to get more clicks from less competitive terms. Read the below paragraph which will help you learn more about what I just said.

“Simple short Keywords and Long Tail Keywords”

Which one is better for your blog?

Short Keywords are easy to find but are not very unique so you are not the only one using that keyword. Like management tips, health guide, computer science etc. are all short keywords.

Long Tail Keywords are on the other hand difficult to create and are very uncommon. Like healthy diet for healthy heart, making wireless robot in simple steps, working prototype of google glass etc. are all long tail keywords.

So if you can create effective long tail keywords that can coin out in search results you can definitely get more clicks than other. Despite going after the keyword with less overall searches, you’d actually end up getting more than THREE TIMES the clicks because you went after the keyword with less competition.

So We can say that the conclusion that comes out is that “keywords (both short and long tail) are very crucial for your blog post and the effective use of keywords can make your blog rank among the top pages in search results which will in turn bring more traffic to your website”.

 

“Are there that many long tail keywords? Enough to make it worth looking for them?”

Long tail keywords actually make up 70% of all searches. Here is a mind-bending fact to expand on this: “Every single day, 15% of the questions people ask of Google are questions we’ve never seen before. So every day, people in the world are asking questions that have never been asked before”. Also 70% of all searches are for long tail keywords.

Google Search Keyword Tool

Google keyword Planner is a very handy tool and very effective indeed. You can use any other Planner tool but I would suggest Google planner since I have been using it for more than 2 years and also many professional bloggers use this tool to stay ahead of their competition.

There’s a nice feature in the planner that can help you spy on the keywords of your competitors. Instead of putting a keyword into the planner, paste in the url of a page you want to see some long tail keywords for.

Google will then show you up to 1000 related keywords for that page. You can even see estimated search traffic by month, and you can further break down searches by device or location.
