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

Which keyword for title
I'm trying to figure out what to use for my title text. It's for a structural steel fabrication company. Adwords has the average monthly searches for "structural steel" and "steel fabrication" identical at 5,400. It has "structural steel fabrication" at 390 which I get that since its longer and a little more specific will have less searches. My question is if I make the title "structural steel fabrication" does google just see it as 1 big keyword or will it rank for "structural steel" and/or "steel fabrication"? What would any of you go with here? All 3 keyword strings make sense for the person seeing the title. Thanks for any advice you can give, Clay

Google News Carousell
Hi Guys, Just watched Randi's last White Board Friday. He was talking about Google shake0ups and the fact that Google is more often returning results where there is a news carousel at the top of page one. Has anyone seen any research to show if people who are looking for a product / solution are actively clicking on these news items or not? And should this news carousel be considered the number one spot, or is the number one spot still the fist true SERP result shown below it? Many thanks Si

Keywords and On-Page Optimization
Hi i have quite a few keywords i want to rank for which are: how to lose 10 pounds fast how to lose 100 pounds how to lose ten pounds how to lose 30 pounds I can either make separate pages for each of these keywords, but i would prefer to create a single page since most of the content would be very similar, plus i don't think Google would like the fact i'm 'targeting' these keywords individually. Anyway if i do decided to create a single page for all these keywords, what advice do you have? For the URL i'm going to have the keyword 'how to lose weight' or 'how to lose pounds', something generic. Then i'm going to have content which pretty much answers each search query. Now i guess the negative is the fact, i can't optimize the page for each keyword (e.g. keyword in URL, title, or on the actual page itself) So my question how would you approach this issue? How do i tell google (besides backlinking, i will be including these keywords in anchor text) my page is about how to lose 30 pounds or how to lose 100 pounds, when i'm not doing anyway on-page optimization for the keywords individually. Regards, Chris

i am trying to figure out what would be good keywords to optimize for an orthodontist. i looked up the keywords "his city + orthodontist" or " his city + braces" and the google adword tool tells me there are no monthly searches for those terms. i am not sure what i can optimize for if no one is searching for the most obvious keywords.

Ranking Changes: Google.co.uk vs Google.com vs Google.com.au?
Why would my website appear, for example, second for a keyword search on Google.co.uk but on a search through Google.com or Google.com.au (Australia) not appear in the Top 50? Excuse the simplicity of the question!

Evaluating Competition of a Keyword
I'm curious about how others evaluate the competition of keywords when putting together an SEO program: Do you place any faith in the competition listing in the Google Keyword Tool? Do you find value in SEOmoz's Keyword Difficulty tool? What other tactics or processes do you perform?

How to get a quick idea of competition for large numbers of keywords
As I do a lot of keyword research for my clients, I've found the SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty tool a great way to dig deeper in the competitive data for important keywords, whenever I am at the point of choosing between a smaller number of keywords. However, in some cases I would rather have a quick idea of how competitive a large list of keywords is (for example 1000+). As the Keyword Difficulty tool has a limit of 5 per run and 300 per day, I am looking for a technique or tool to run a list of keywords and get an idea of competitiveness for each keyword. Thanks for any suggestions!
