Keywords: Tips and Tricks to Getting More Traffic

Tips on Choosing Good Keywords

When generating traffic to your hubs and/or website, you want the most traffic you can get. One thing that affects traffic greatly is keywords. In general, keywords are just words used in the title of the hub or website that pertain to many subjects and that many people search for. For example, you know that people will search and click on titles with the word ‘top’ because it is a good keyword and pertains to many subjects.

In the words on another source, keywords are ‘words that capture the essence of the topic’ and that is exactly what keywords do. In this hub you will learn how to choose keywords, good helpful keywords, and how to change some of your hub’s titles to maybe get more traffic from better keywords in the title.

Tip #1 – How to choose good keywords. Choosing good keywords is the difference between not getting hardly any traffic and getting a lot of traffic. Keywords are found in the title. With good keywords in the title, you will most likely receive good traffic.

So, how do you choose good keywords for a title? Brainstorming. Before you right a hub, brainstorm on the topic that you are writing about, create a good title with good, useful keywords, write the hub, publish the hub, and see the traffic go, go, go. For example (I will use an example from my own hub), I was thinking about writing a hub on my home state, Texas. I was interested in putting a lot of cool places to visit so I decided 10 places. So 10 places to visit in Texas, seems like a pretty good hub. Then I cam up with the title, “Top Ten Places to Visit in Texas”. That hub alone has gotten up to this moment, 4100 views. That is because top, ten, places, visit, and texas are all excellent keywords that helped get my hub title out on the web for lots of traffic.

Tip #2 – Good Helpful Keywords. There are many helpful and useful keywords, but here are the ones that I have used from person experience and having gotten lots of traffic from. My recommendations for keywords: top, ten, places, visit, texas (or any state), everything, know, how to, helpful, good, useful, five (or any number), cities, travel, guide, most, great, best, history, different, and type. These are my recommendations for keywords as that list has provided much traffic to each one of my hubs.

Tip #3 - How to change your hub’s title to good keywords. I have had to do this many times. I would find a hub I published about a month or so ago with very little traffic. Then I would edit the title to fit more keywords in so that more traffic might be generated. For example, I had a hub called “Best Mafia Weapons”. It was doing ok, but not too good. I changed the title to “Top 3 Best Mafia Weapons” and now I have over 400 views to that hub.

Do this right now. Go to your stats, find a hub with little to no traffic, and brainstorm a title with good keywords about that hub. Let me help you out with another example. Say for instance, you have a hub entitled “Texas Attractions”. Along ‘texas’ is a good keyword, attractions is not too good. Instead, see how many attractions you have listed. If you have 5 listed, title the hubs ‘Top 5 Attractions in Texas”. With this hub title, you should start to see more traffic.

I hope I gave you some good tips about keywords. I am a living example that it works and I wanted to share my success with you! Thanks for reading
