Hi guys, im getting really frustrated, i can never find anything to write about for my blog, and when i do find something to write about, all the decent keywords are taken up by other website. My blog is a how to blogging and im trying to increase traffic by getting better google rankings, before i can start building backlinks i need to make a good post about something technology based which i can get to top 5 on google ranking. Im finding it really hard to find interesting things to write about which arent already taken up by huge websites. For example, i used the Google adwords keyword tool to look for some low competitive high traffic keywords, and i found "Apple Iphone 5" which it said had low competition (due to it not being out yet) and high search volumes. So i made a blog post about it and optimised it for the keywords i had chosen, then i went onto google, and found that there were at least 5-6 pages jam packed with website dedicated to the Iphone 5 and also huge technology websites. I need help quick as i feel as though i cant really grow my blog to the extent i would like to without scoring high on some good keywords. Thank you mohamed elgharib
If you have trouble find the perfect keywords for your blog by your self, try use keyword researcher services. It will make some extra money, but will reduce your frustrated & you get more time to make good content.
First of all, finding a unique content that also viral is very close to impossible..The good news is you really DON't HAVE TO create a content that hasn't been created before. It's good to be unique but it's not the only way to increase your blog's visibility. You can create your content about something isn't unique but also make it more interesting (or relatively better) than the others. Even though the most blogs with cliche contents do well on search engines just because the way they tell about it.
Technology is a particularly tough niche. When you're using the Adwords tool, remember that the competition listed is for advertisers; it means nothing about the amount of websites competing for the term! In your case, there are definitely a lot of other sites heavily targeting that keyword phrase. You'll have to look for lower hanging fruit if you want to shoot up the rankings relatively easy.
Well dude, technology is one nasty niche to be in - my colleague who is is a professional SEO burned thousands of dollars for unique & high qualitly content and quality backlinks for his technology blog only to find out that his efforts were in vain since he couldn't even break even - he was spending more money than he was making. I'd suggest you start with something simpler since you obviously don't have enough resources to compete with the big dogs in the niche.
