3 Ways Google Can Show What Your Readers Want
Well, what i'm telling you that Google has devised systems that allows you to tap into your readers’ psyche and magically predict which topics will interest them the most.
In fact, nothing is better for Google than for you to produce the type of content that people want to read. Every time you do, their search results get a little better. So they have really worked hard to provide tools which help you understand what topics are the most sought-after within your niche. Below are three free tools from Google along with tips for using them to improve your site:
Google Analytics
Google Analytics provides a great starting point for generating new content, because it can tell you what people already like about your site. As you look through the keywords that people have used to find your site in the search, pay close attention to the ones you have never really written about. If someone searched for this piece of information and the best they could find was an article that didn’t really answer their question, then you have just found a question worth answering on your site!
Search Based Keyword Tool
The next step is to look at the Google Search-Based Keyword Tool. If you have an Adwords campaign promoting your site, you can get keyword suggestions based directly on the content of your site. But this tool is still extremely useful if you don’t use Adwords.
What you’ll do is simply take the keywords that you identified from Google Analytics as being good topics for new articles, and plug them into the Google Keyword Tool. Google will show you related terms that people are searching for. This can help you understand what questions people need answered the most, so that you can make your new article as useful as possible.
Google Insights
Another great way to find related keywords is through Google Insights. This tool works a little differently than the search-based keyword tool in that it shows you recent search trends related to your topic. This is a great way to see which areas of your topic are becoming more popular with searchers. Being the first blogger to answer an important question can give your readership a tremendous boost in organic traffic as well as RSS subscriptions.
Google Is Your Best Friend
If you follow this process you will be able to attract more traffic naturally, because you will be creating articles that accurately reflect the needs of internet searchers. Google will be happy to send the traffic to you, because your new articles will answer the questions that people are looking to them for the answers to. They look good because you look good.

How To Choose Right Keywords For Your Blog
One of the important aspects of SEO is to choose right keywords for your blog because this helps to make your blog more visible in search engines. Visitors or people use different words when they search for online contents. The words they use to search are nothing but keywords.
So our challenge as bloggers is to make sure that you have the right keywords that relate to the topics your potential audience is searching for.
Now you might think how to know which keywords related to my topic people will look for. Well, there is not straight answer for this but with the help of some popular keyword research tools we can find out what kind of words they use frequently to search the online contents like yours.
Ok, with this basic idea now let’s get straight into some of the popular keyword research tools:
Wordtracker: Discover the best keywords for your website.
http://www.wordtracker.com
Google AdWords: Keyword Tool
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Keyword Discovery: Provides keyword search stats from search engines.
http://www.keyworddiscovery.com
Now using the above tools you can get an idea of popular keywords. You can use them when you write a post next time.
For example: I typed “SEO” in Google AdWords: Keyword Tool and it gave me so many keywords in which “ SEO Copywriting” was one and is an interesting keyword to use. It also shows that there were 3600 queries on a particular month which is also important when you decide on a keyword. Make sure that the keyword you choose have at least 1500 search queries.
So what is the key point?
The key point is that while you are busy writing articles on the most popular topics, do remember that these topics have the most competition among the search engines which means, you will be fighting against hundreds or thousands of bloggers or competitors to get the attention to your article.
It’s always a good strategy to focus on the less popular or rather would like to say the middle tier of the market because there will be less competition. Look at the 100th-200th most popular keywords or phrases from your keyword research tool and use it as the basis for your next set of articles. Remember good usage of keyword helps you bring traffic as well.

Use Blog Commenting to Increase Page Rank
How to Increase Page Rank using Blog Commenting
It’s amazing how many people do not know the principles of blog commenting. The concept of dofollow may be a fairly new concept – especially to those outside the SEO community – but if you don’t pay attention to this very important attribute, your blog commenting strategy will be for naught. It depends somewhat if you’re after traffic or better page rank, but my guess is that a lot of people are commenting for the page rank exposure, rather than the traffic (which can be slight). What other explanation can there be for the litany of people posting comments with stellar anchor text on a PR 0 blog that has nofollow for comment links? Obviously, these aspiring marketers have no idea that their links count for nothing.
So every blog commenter should devise a good strategy for commenting on blogs in order to get the most page rank value. Here are the main commenting tips:
1. Write a useful comment. Take as much time thinking about writing a comment as you’d think about writing a paragraph on your blog. A comment needs to be tailored to the post. Yes, people are desperate for comments, but vague comments get thrown out – like “Great post. I like your style.” (just wait for some smart a*s to write that comment on this post.)
2. Find a list of blogs in your niche. It’s recommended to go to a dofollow blog directory and find dofollowers in your niche. Narrow down those dofollow blogs by pinpointing the blogs with the highest page rank (in the Google toolbar, SEOQuake plugin, or other method).
3. Seek out blog posts that already have a good number of backlinks. Just because the blog’s homepage has a decent page rank doesn’t mean that every blog post will. There are cases where an internal blog post can have better rank than the homepage if that internal page gets a lot of links. Note: if it’s a new post, page rank won’t show up in a toolbar, but trackbacks will show up in the comment section. Also, the number of comments signifies its overall popularity.
4. Use Google reader or other RSS reader. This is a WAY better way to organize links than through standard browser bookmarks. Can’t recommend this enough. How many time have you gone to a browser bookmark only to find that the same frontpage post is still sitting there? Using a reader will organize posts based on their freshness. It’s easier to hop around between blog to blog to find places to comment. Really, commenting off a reader should be one of your daily marketing strategies. Whenever you find a blog with a good home page rank and dofollow comments (this is usually advertised), grab its RSS feed.
5. Subscribe to a thread when you comment. Someone might respond to you and then you can add another link and add to the discussion.
6. Look for sites that activate Commentluv, as this will add a link to an internal page. If you add Commentluv to your own site, you can choose which page to list. Otherwise, it will list your most recent post – which means after you post you should head over to your Commentluv site list and make another comment.
7. Find Top Commenter sites. Another plugin will show a blog’s top commenters (sort of irritatingly misspelled as “Top Commentators”). Often, it only takes 2 comments to make it to the list. Even sites that have nofollow enabled in comments will have dofollow for the top commenter list, so you shouldn’t always stay away from nofollow sites.
8. Make five comments a day, at least. This means you have to have a pretty big RSS feed list, because you can’t make five comments a day on the same two blogs. Over time, these comments will really build up. Added bonus: many of these comments will show up in your Technorati profile, improving your Technorati rank.
