Best way to find keyword to write a post that will get 50 visitors a day in Google traffic?
-
Hi - I have a blog with good PR (4) but not much search traffic.
I am interested in targeting keywords on a single blog post basis rather than site wide.
The current search traffic is so low I can't really base looking for keywords off the keywords people are already arriving from.
The only tool I know is the Google keyword tool.
I am tired of writing posts that get zero search visitors most days, so would like to try to target some terms that will get around 50 search visits per day to that specific post.
Best approach?

Take into consideration below points:
1. Current ranking of your Blog post ? Suppose your post is on 3rd position for particular keyword. Try to find out such keyword through Google analytics and try to improve ranking of those keywords.
2. How do you do keyword research ? Are you using "category" in Google keyword tool ? You should have to use that as per your blog theme.
As per requirement I think "Google keyword tool" in enough for you.

if you have a group of keywords or something you want to discuss on your blog. I have found that this plug-in or you can use it via the website scribecontent.com from copy blogger is a fantastic tool. I have writers block and sometimes it is a fantastic aid when researching keywords and also following best practices in getting link juice to the right pages. I would also not worry so much about keywords as I would worry about simply talking about something and making it interesting and engaging for your reader. If I wanted to rank for a keyword regarding Mercedes-Benz I might want to tell a story about a road trip something like that right don't focus 100% of my time on the keyword but I simply write a well-written and engaging blog post.
I hope that tool is of some help I also believe that distilled.net/u and copyblogger.com are fantastic places to learn about blogging of course SEOmoz is one of the best in the world as well.
Sincerely,
Thomas

If I insert a "stop" word into a long tail keyword, will it break it up?
I'm in the legal industry, and a lot of the long tail keywords I'm finding are search queries that are pinpointed for my location. As a result, I come up with [subject] + [location] as good keywords... for example: "subpoena duces tecum new york." (basically it's a subpoena, just the fancy name). However, I have no clue how to use something like this in a sentence....if I say "subpoena duces tecum IN new york" does the "in" break up the keyword, or is "in" just a stop word that doesn't affect the keyword? Countless examples of similar keywords "Car accident new york" etc. Thanks!

How do I use Google Keyword in onsite seo?
Hello to all, I wanted to ask if I am doing this correctly. So I own a Bernese mountain dog website I used the google keyword research tools to view keyword ideas. I listed my results below. So my questions are: 1 - Bernese Mountain Dog Puppies (the keyword) blow away the other keywords. So when you are looking at your sites most popular keywords, do you make the most popular keyword your homepage? Because it gets the most link juice? Like would you build the homepage around the best keyword instead of branding - like the company name etc? Or does it matter? Basically just as long as you use it for one page? 2 - When you have keywords that have parts of other keywords, is it safe to use the longer keyword because it has parts of the other phrases? Such as Bernese mountain dog puppies for sale is a part of Bernese mountain dog puppies for sale in Colorado. So if you use bernese mountain dog puppies for sale in Colorado, it will also hit the bernese mountain dog puppies for sale? ( without the In Colorado) What type of strategy would you use for this type of situation? 3- Lastly, and thank you for your time - I watched a video from a grey hat seo guy. He said to take a keyword or phrase like say Colorado home builders, create a page like example.com/Colorado-home-builders/ Then make you h1 tag - The Best Colorado Home Builders Add The Best Colorado home builders to your meta description and one more time in your h2 tag Then create a Bold, and italic The Best Colorado Home Builders in your unique content paragraphs. So my question is - is this grey hat and bad? Or the standard? I do not want to get hit for over optimizing. So just wanted to ask you opinion first. In the end, I truly thank you for taking the time to read my questions. I appreciate everyone's help and greatly appreciate your knowledge. So my results look like this | bernese mountain dog puppies | 590 | Low | $0.45 | 1% | |

Which page is currently ranking the best for a particular keyword?
Hi Guys! I have approx. 50 keywords that I'm tracking for a website that has about 80 pages. I am wondering is there any way that I can find out which page on the site is currently ranking best for each of the keywords on my list? Ideally I would like to export the entire list with the keyword in the first column and the page that ranks best on the website for each given keyword, in the second column. Apologies if the wording of this post is confusing - I am not quite sure how to make it clearer. The aim of my task is to determine which keywords should be allocated to each page on the site so I need to work out which keywords are working already for certain pages so that I don't take those efforts away from the well-optimised pages. Many thanks! Meaghan

Should I be optimizing for Keywords that we already rank for?
When selecting which Keywords to optimize for, should I choose all words that I want us to move up for? Like that my company appears ranked for 5, 10, 42, 44, etc.? Or should I select a mix of some that rank well (top 1-2 pgs in Google) /rank near pg 5/ and some that aren't showing up in the top 50 yet? I don't want to waste my time optimizing for words I don't need to. Thanks!
