piggyback big time keywords to drive traffic to your blog

After yesterday’s serous content it’s time to get back to some light-hearted business. Today I am talking about using your choice of You tube video title or blog post title to get you more views and traffic. I’m talking about piggyback big time keywords to drive traffic to your blog.

By using valuable keywords like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Apple, or Google within the long tail keyword for your titles, you will get the traffic from people broad searching these valuable keywords. This is particularly true for video platforms. There is a definite increase in view figures for my videos using this strategy.

I fimed a couple of videos on the Google Panda algorithm changes in April and my views are still going up on those because I used the word Google and Google Panda which is a hot topic amongst SEO people and also new students of SEO and online marketing. Some people are obsessed with getting page1 rankings on Google, so the Panda and the Penguin are hot at the moment!

Also as Youtube use tags to arrange and organise their content, putting these valuable keywords into your titles will more than likely get your videos found more easily and accumulate more views. I get a lot of traffic to my blog using this strategy and my email list grows as a happy result.

Here are some examples of my use of this strategy:

• Top Ten Youtube Tips

• Tips for getting traffic from Facebook

• Best way to promote Clickbank products

• Google Panda update 2012

If you can get the words ‘tips or hints’ into your titles then that’s another great source of traffic. People regularly put long tail keywords into their search engines. I generally find that people ask their questions on the search engines which is why tips or hints is a good tactic to use when writing or filming content. The reason why I chose the Clickbank product title was because I saw this question being asked over and over again on Yahoo answers and forums across the internet. People were wanting to know what was the best way to promote Clickbank products. So, I did my research on Google keyword tool and checked the search figures on google search for that long tail keyword and the results were good so I created the content!

It really is that simple to use popular terms and words that are the consciousness of us all at a given time. There are so many words that I’ve not used yet, that I’ll be using myself very soon. Look out for them in my Youtube channel and see the difference in view figures against content that doesn’t have them. I hope this content on piggyback big time keywords to drive traffic to your blog helps you in your strategies.

Catch you tomorrow guys!

Writing a successful blog post

Writing a successful blog post will attract regular visitors to your blog. As long as the content is relevant to your blog and is interesting to the reader, your content will be well received.

Continually adding successful blog posts will only succeed in increasing traffic to your blog, making it more popular.

There are, however, some important rules to respect when writing a successful blog post, and they are:

• Using clean URL’s

• Writing consistent and relevant content

• Keyword and LSI Keyword use

• Video content

• Image content

• Bullet points

• Social Media posting

• Linking structure to other posts in your blog and to other bloggers

• Readers leaving comments

• Lots of content!

Using Clean URL’s

I’ve seen many blog posts or website page url’s that have a car crash of a url or link that just doesn’t make sense. It isn’t just important that humans can make sense of a url, but also the search engines. With a blog post the title of the post will be in the url. So if you choose a good, relevant title which is relative to the content you will end up with something like –

www.adrianwhitworth.com/writing-a-successful-blog-post rather than www.adrianwhitworth.com/0235023lkasdnbfl,zxnvlz;kshdrg;so45u7w3405u7w0349utw0

You can see the obvious difference here. Which one would you pick out that is clearer?

Writing consistent and relevant content

It is really important to stick to the subject in hand. Yes, you can discuss several topics or subjects within an overall niche or subject. Just make sure it is all relevant. For example, if your overall blog subject or niche is movies then you can talk about independents, action, drama, thrillers or horror. You can also discuss directors, actors, actresses or even stunt performers. What about locations used on period dramas. You can see from this example how you expand content in your blogs but keep the relevancy. This relevancy will please the search engines and get it ranked appropriately.

Keywords and LSI keyword use

Some people spend lots of time on this and some people just get it and quickly pick out the keywords they want to rank for and include in their posts. My take on it is simple as far as post writing is concerned. I look at the body of information that will make up the post and choose 5 keywords that are relevant to the content and use them throughout the content, making sure it reads sensibly. LSI keywords are used around the main keywords which are words relative to the keywords. For example, If I was to use the keyword turntable I would choose LSI keywords such as tone arm, direct drive, vinyl records and stylus.

Video Content

Video is king as far as getting ranked is concerned. There is also a tonne of traffic to be found and used online. It is still being under-used in my opinion and it’s too big a subject to cover here. You don’t need much equipment to do this successfully and you certainly don’t have to be Denzel Washington to be in a video! But check out this link to delve deeper within video content.

Image Content

The use of images in content hasn’t been used properly in my opinion. The use of emotional images along-with the SEO of alt-tags will help get your content ranked even higher. I consider this to be just as important as video marketing. Again, it’s not being utilised to its potential by the majority of bloggers. I will be posting out content regarding this subject very soon.

Social Media Posting

If you can get your content shared out to as many social networks as possible, the search engines will look at this popularity and it will result in better rankings for you. I now have profiles on nearly 20 social media sites and when i post new content on my blog, I bookmark it out to all of these sites. I also work hard on each individual profile as well because I want people to keep coming back to read the content and become friends or contacts because it’s all traffic at the end of the day.

Linking Structure

Linking to other posts in your blog is very good. It highlights the relevancy of all your content with each other and is good for overall ranking for your site. I also link to other bloggers as I think that if you can get many more people joining in the conversation or debate then again, rankings and popularity could increase.

Readers Leaving Comments

I always leave a comments box for readers to use at the bottom of the post. Commenting and having an opinion on a subject is what having a blog is all about. So get one put into your blog and finish your post with a leading question or invite comments. It makes it all so much more interesting.

Lots of content

Finally, writing a successful blog post will get you more traffic. It’s as simple as that. Answer the questions that people are asking on the internet. By doing this, search engine users will see your links and click on through. It’s not rocket science I promise.
