The following SEO tips will help your articles get a better ranking with the search engines and generate traffic for your site:
- If you have not purchased or you are not already using a popular SEO keyword software, you can use Google Adwords tool to start with. Go to http://adwords.google.com/select/keywordtool and type in some of the general keywords or keywords phrases from your niche. Locate a good search volume and copy those keywords on notepad or a text document.
- Perform a search on google using quotes as follows: “how to plant a garden”. Notice how the search term is in quotations. You want your results to be below 1,000,000 if possible, but no more than 2,000,000. Search results larger than this will make it that more difficult for you to compete with.
