Keyword Research

How I Find Keywords For my Blog?

I am not claiming this should be a full-proof method for finding keywords but I will share what I do for finding keywords. Hopefully, this will help all.

First Step (Pick Your competitors URL)

Determine which Niche are you working on? For example, if you are working on health sites. You will first pick your one competitor URL and place it in ubersuggest (free tool). There are other tools that work best but they are not free.

Second Step (Click on top Keywords)

On the right-hand side of ubersuggest you will see a button "Top keywords". Click on that and you will see a lot of keywords ideas.

Third step

Select only those keywords which have less competition. Check all keywords one by one manually.

For manual checking. Pick one keyword to suppose I pick "health benefits of doing exercise" I will search it in the google like "allintitle:health benefits of doing exercise".

i only work on those keywords that have very little allintitle results. Maximum 10-15

i then check few more things like the number of total results in allintitle searches plus I also check the top results in allintitle. If the top results are high authority domains then leave that topic.

Plus i also check the number of backlinks on the top results if there are no backlinks there is a fair chance to get rank on this keyword.

That´s pretty much how i approach to keyword research. But besides allintitle search operator, i also add inurl and " " for exact phrase match and evaluate all 3 of them with the monthly search volume i get from keywords everywhere chrome extension.

Also, i use Moz tool bad chrome extension and export the data from the first page of google and play around with the data. Evaluating and analyzing the URLs from the top 10 results and plugging them into ubersuggest to do a basic backlink profile from the top competitors and see if i would be able to outrank them.

Another different thing i like to do in regards to brainstorming related keywords ideas. I like to seach for niche related forums and browse away the most active and recent topics to search for trending topics/questions people may be interested in.

I do that using these operators...

Keyword + inurl:”/forums/”
Keyword + “discussion board”
Keyword + inurl:”showtopic.php”
“Keyword” is your niche related keyword or niche itself. Example:
proxy + inurl:”/forum/” (press enter)

And please be informed that you’ll get different results for:

Keyword + inurl:”/forums/” (with ‘s’)
Keyword + inurl:”/forum/” (without ‘s’)

I also like to search for Q&A platforms for niche related topics and questions. My go-to Q&A platforms are obviously Quora, Reddit, and Yahoo Answers. For this, i use the site:quora.com [my keyword] and then filter the results for the last month or week depending on how many results i get. That way i make sure i get the most recent questions.
