   Blogging for traffic? If you don’t have a large advertising budget, you can follow these steps and get the traffic for free. Google Adwords has a tool called “keyword tool” where you type in a keyword phrase and have google give you suggestions on alternatives. The beautiful thing is that along with the suggestions, the results give you info on the average volume of searches for the terms along with advertiser competition. While the advertiser competition they show you is for sponsored search, the numbers directly correlate to competition for organic search. Now what to do?

   After you have written your blog post, think of a rather short title that matches your post well. Enter that title into the keyword tool and scan the suggestions. Find one that has the best combination of the following four, with their importance in this order:

1. Relevance to your post
2. Decent search volume
3. Lack of competition
4. Nice sounding title

   So once you have decided on the title, go back through your post and make sure you have the exact title in your post a few times, but don’t overdo it. For me, I went with “blogging for traffic” for this post, and there is a very good chance you arrived here by searching that exact term. If so, I hope that this post has been the most quality search return you have ever read. If so, please feel free to comment and sign up for my rss feed.
