how to target the most competitive keyword of your niche

There are certain steps to be taken by a blogger before starting blogging . First write down all your interests in a page . It might be great if the niche / interest has quite a bit of advertisers in the web .Some people blindly select one of their interests after certain bloggers advice them to do so .They are probably misled because although it is one of their interests , it is always better to select the best of all our interests as our blogging niche. By ‘best’ , i mean those niches which have atleast quite a bit of advertisers . What do you think is the use of starting a personal blog if your aim is to earn 1000’s of dollars via adsense ?

yeah for those of you who primarily dont concentrate on earning via adsense , personal blogging might be the best one.But for others , it would definitely suck .

So just starting a blog of your interest is not the best way of choosing a niche for blogging .You have to do analysis and then start building you blog steadily .

so let me give you some tips on how to select the best niche among all your interests and how to target the most competitive keyword in your niche :

1. do a usual search on google for all the top paying niches in adsense ,

2. compare them with the list of your interests and filter the overlapping ones ,

3. now visit adwords.google.com and see which niche has got advertisers .

4. decide on which one to target – either you can target the most competitive ones or target the moderate ones .Its up to you to decide on your niche from your filtered list.

5. regarding the selection of the most competitive keyword of your niche , you have to constantly monitor your CPC of the ads in your blog . One day when you get some extraordinary eCPM or CPC , note down the ads served on your site / blog. [you should  find the CPC of individual channels  ]

6.This is the best way to know which ads perform best on your blog. Then you may concentrate more on posts related to that particular keyword .

Always remember to form adsense channels whenever you plan to place a new ad in your blog .

Wordpress tags are very important for blog traffic

Wordpress is the best platform as far as blog creation is concerned . Its due to the amazing resouces of templates available in the web and so many other factors.many people are also engaged in free wordpress blogs although the count is a bit less than the blogspot .

But as far as the traffic is concerned , i would say there is a major advantage in these wordpress blogs .Its because of the wordpress tags.In every post , you might seen an option  for the tags related to your post . certain people understand the importance of tags .But other just leave them blank or fill it with unrelated keywords .

But let me show you the importance of wordpress tags :

have a look at this snapshot :

 

 

As you could see above , i made a search in google for “womanizer lyrics “ and the SERP shows the page for “wordpress tags” at the ninth position in the first page !!

Wondering how much is the search volume for “womanizer lyrics “ ? . its just 36 .

but wait donot underestimate it. as far as traffic for blogs is concerned every single keyword is important .there are high chances that you may get 5-7 visitors via those wordpress tags .

AND HERE IS ANOTHER SEARCH ENGINE TERM THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO YOU :

ITS SEARCH VOLUME IS 4400 PER MONTH .

And the “wordpress tags” page for the search query lands on the first page , at the seventh position .

And the search query is “pamela anderson b**bs” .iam sorry about that search term .. because some of you might be pam’s fans and may not like me talking that way .. but dont hate me guys .i did it only to explain the importance of tags .I could not think of any other search term getting nice traffic from wordpress tags .

here is the snapshot :

So , do you agree with me guys ? wordpress tags are very important than some of you thought it was.so in your next blog post , take a much longer time to think about the wordpress tags you could use .or just do an analysis on adwords and then use them .
