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

Previous keyword overuse on past blog posts: looking for a plan to proceed with new posts
My client has multiple office locations around the US. Each location has it's own subdomain for maximum local visibility. For example: "cityname.maindomainname.com" Each subdomain has it's own blog, and has, up until now, all posts have been key-worded: "product + city" followed by the blog title
Keyword Research | | KristyKK
For example: "Life Insurance San Fransisco | 5 Facts to Know" So on each subdomain (location), there are many blog posts done on the same product, in the same city. So they have a series of blog posts with the pattern below (hypothetical examples): "Life Insurance San Fransisco | Insurance Myths"
"Life Insurance San Fransisco | Which One is for You?"
"Life Insurance San Fransisco | Getting Your Policy Reviewed"
"Life Insurance San Fransisco | Buying From a Reputable Agent"
"Life Insurance San Fransisco | Cancelling Your Policy" The issue I am running into is how do I properly keyword/key-phrase all future blog posts for each location. The same keyword has been used so many times that it seems almost meaningless to continue to use it ("life insurance") even though it's the target product and location the client is trying to rank for. I don't plan on using the formula "product+city," but it would be nice to use the term "life insurance" somewhere in a key phrase or two. The client's goal, to rank high for their product in each, individual location. I am looking for guidance and advice on what would be the best course of action to achieve the client's desire for increased visibility in their target areas. An added challenge is the number of cities. Following their current blog posting needs/schedule, they want to do 60 posts a month, one for each city each week (14 cities), so I'll be on the hunt for how to write this many posts without writing duplicate content, but that's for a different question. So considering the above, if this were your client, how would you proceed?1 -

Sudden keyword rankings drop
Hi, My latest MOZ report has indicated there has been a significant drop in ranking for 65 keywords, some by as much as 30 places. This is not something I have experienced before and seems very drastic. Is there a reasonable explanation or fix for this? Thanks for any advice!

What does it mean when two keywords in Google's Keyword Research Tool have exactly the same amount of searches?
The two keywords are [publicity] and [product placement] (both in exact search - not broad) and have 22,200 searches each. Is it purely coincidental or are the two keywords kind of related in Google's eyes and that's why we're seeing the same amount of searches for each?

How do I find traffic for local keywords?
We're having trouble finding reliable traffic numbers for long-tail local keywords (ex. - "computer repair green bay"). We tried using Google Insights but it doesn't display long-tail keyword information, only broad keyword keywords searched for in a certain locale. We also tried using Wordtracker, but that hasn't been too reliable either. Is there a single tool that provides real traffic for local long-tail keywords?
