If you’ve been wondering why your blog hasn’t ranked high or why your readership has declined, it may be due to a lack of SEO optimization. Sure, you may have quality content and eye-catching titles, but unless you’ve taken the necessary steps to choose the right keywords for your articles, you may not see much improvement. Keywords have an extremely important role in search engine optimization and the success of your blog. Along with having current, quality content, bloggers also want to have specific keywords that draw in readers and, hopefully, earn you some money. Here are some helpful tips to choosing and implementing the right keywords for your blog:

Brainstorm a Few Keywords

Before or after your article has been published online, you’ll want to spend some quality time brainstorming a few keywords that will get your blog indexed in major search engines. While you’re brainstorming, it’s a good idea to go to a popular search engine, such as Google or Yahoo, and type in keywords that relate to the topic you’re writing about. This will help you see what results come up and what other keywords your competitors are using. The best way for bloggers to choose their keywords is to think like their potential readers and search as they would.

Use Two or Three Keyword Combinations

Now that you know what keywords are popular, you’ve got to tweak your keywords to make them stand out among your competitors. It’s highly unlikely that single-word keywords will get you high rankings for very long, or at all. Non-specific one-word keywords are used by thousands of bloggers every day, and using them will only make it harder for your blog to get ranked high. The most effective keywords typically contain two to three words. You should think about common and highly specific words or phrases that readers are most likely to type into a search engine. In other words, don’t simply choose “cooking” as one of your keywords; try “cooking for one” or “organic cooking” to narrow your focus.

Utilize Online SEO Tools

In your pursuit to find the best keywords for your blog, it’s a good idea to take advantage of the awesome SEO tools that are right at your fingertips. Google AdWords is a terrific tool for researching the competition and global and local monthly searches for certain words or phrases. This keyword tool will help you tweak your current keywords to include less competitive words and better word arrangements. While on this site, check out the price of individual keywords. If you have a Google Adsense campaign, this will give you a better understanding of how much or how little you’ll earn. It can be enticing to choose keywords that are worth more money, but you may not notice a difference in your ranks if the keyword competition is high. Niche subjects with less competitive keywords are still a better bet for your blog.

Did you ever think about this? Your comments are actually extensions of your blog’s content. In other words, sure, you’re not posting that content on your own blog, but any reader who sees your comment in the comment thread at another blog could click your name and immediately navigate to your blog via one of your comments.

Know what that means? That means your comments are your content!

Because of this, we have to be careful with the kinds of comments we leave at other blogs. We can’t simply dash off comments in the comments sections to get a DoFollow link, unless we add some sort of valuable content to that comment thread. So, keep the following ideas for good commenting practice in mind as you sit down to type a comment. Happy commenting!

Ask a Question

This kind of comment can help spark more discussion in the comments section. It can also serve to help you get some clarification from the blog post author or from other commenters regarding something that maybe you are confused about or interested in. It’s a good way to encourage more discussion.

Weigh In Smartly

When you weigh in, you essentially position yourself as another expert in the discussion and offer your opinion on the issue. Of course, you don’t want to come across as a know-it-all, so be humble with your opinion. Show some self-awareness in your comment. If someone offers an intelligent response, be sure to thank them!

Use Your Real Name

This is important because it helps you build your brand online. Always use a real sign-in handle that automatically links back to your blog. That way, people can connect your comment to your blog. As they read more of your comments around on other blogs, they’ll begin to create an idea of who you are and what your brand represents. You want this to connect with the ‘real’ you, not some pseudonym. Furthermore, commenting under you real name will keep you from posting anonymously critical comments. If you have something critical to say, you should own up to it and responsibly voice your opinion.

Write ‘Good’

When you comment, use proper language. Write in complete sentences. Use proper punctuation and spelling. Proofread your comments. You’re comments will be easier to read that way, and they will allow you to write complex, well-conceived thoughts instead of fragmentary phrases like ‘love this!’ Using proper grammar allows you to write complete and complex thoughts that others can understand.

Interact With Other Bloggers

Finally, do your best to join a conversation when you make a comment. This means that after you make one comment, you’ll want to visit that comment thread often (or subscribe to it via email) so that you can follow-up on any comments in response to yours. Making a comment then leaving the thread is like joining a discussion, then excusing yourself after you say three words so that you can take a phone call. It’s not very polite! Plus you might miss out on some good discussion later on.

What do you say ??

In addition to promoting your website through search engines, Internet directories, link exchanges,and email marketing, you can also promote your website through software products. Believe it not, creating a software product doesn’t always require an extensive programming background or four-year degree in gobbledy-gook C++ type programming languages. Software can be as simple as a collection of information,in an e-book for example. Or it could be a simple spreadsheet of data and formulas.
A lot of things qualify as software these days in fact, and one of those things includes e-books. E-books are the easiest programs to develop and you just might find yourself enjoying the development
process! The following is a list of high-quality e-book making software programs you can use to start writing your very own binary products!

EbookMaker
•       Ceramic Wares
•       3D eBook Shot
•       eTextWizard
•       EBook Maestro

Of course, you probably have e-book making software on your own computer right now – Many people distribute Word documents and plain text files e-books! You could alternatively hire a programmer to write one for you, or you could brand a program that’s already in existence.
Check out Rebranded Software (http://www.rebrandsoftware.com) -quality software products that can appear to have been written entirely by you. Or visit Rentacoder (http://www.rentacoder.com) and hire a programmer to write your very own original!
The important thing to remember about your software regardless of how its created is that it’s main purpose is to promote your website. Some of the software that you have on your computer right now was built just to broaden your awareness of *other* products and/or services for sale. To see what we’re talking about, just take a look at the documentation  of any software program. How many times are you invited to visit the programmer’s website? How many times do you see the
website’s URL appear in the program? Now just think what happens with this software is shared with others.
Not only do they get a cool program, they also get plenty of opportunities to learn more about the developer’s website from the software’s help file, About box, and other accompanying documentation.
If others can advertise their websites through this channel, there’s
no reason to think you can’t do the same. Like search engines, software libraries describe different programs,and more often than not, the descriptions of these programs link to the website of the software’s developer. That’s more links to your website in case you’re wondering. By developing a simple software product and distributing it to the thousands of software libraries out there, you can increase both links and awareness of your website by at least 500+ times – two or three times on top of that!
This is because search engines index software description pages too.Even though your website is already listed in the indexes of major search engines, each individual description page of your own software could be indexed in these engines as well. Using this strategy, it’s going to be pretty tough not to find your website! There are way too many software libraries to list here and to submit to by hand. It’s another one of those, “I’ll see my great-granddaughter’s great-granddaughter before I’m done” deals. Instead of submitting your software to the thousands of software libraries available, you can (1) hire a service to submit it for you or (2) use software to automate your submission. Rudenko Software offers both software submission software and services right from one website! (http://robosoft.rudenko.com). A bit costly,but well worth it.
