Step 1
Reverse engineer your blog post by using a free keyword tool. Just type that phrase into google. Once you find a free tool, you are on the way.
-
Step 2
Decide what keyword(s) you want to rank for. If the keyword gets searched 1,000,000 times each month, it may not be a good idea to try ranking for that.... unless you can build about 100,000 inbound links to it. Stick to keywords you can rank for.
-
Step 3
Search for keyword strategies so you can better understand different ways people use keywords. For example, I like to rank for 1,000-3,000 and then use 1 keyword that is 9,000-12,000
-
Step 4
Make sure you sneak 1 of your keywords into the title if you can. Can you see how this works now? You literally work backwards!
-
Step 5
Now it's time to write. Focus on keyword density: Use 1 of your keywords in paragraph 1...then sprinkle it throughout the article if you can.
-
Step 6
It's appropriate to write this as a step: Sit back and watch traffic flood into your site! (provided you chose the right keywords, and if traffic isn't flooding in....go back and find different ones)
