Hello DP, I am making an Automotive blog and it will be about electric cars, mopeds and different types of vehicles. What I don't understand is how I am going to pick the home page keywords when the site is about so many different topics. URL:www.motorhowto.com
You will want to do extensive keyword research to help pick keywords for all of your pages. I prefer to base an entire site around a group of related keywords. Your homepage should be the most competitive keywords that you want to target. The trick is picking keywords that get lots of searches, but are not too competitive that you won't be able to get rankings. In your case, 'electric cars' may be too competitive, but there are many 3 - 4 word phrases that include 'electric cars' that may be worth targeting. You should try using Google's keyword tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Make a spreadsheet with all applicable keywords and record the monthly search volume. Then refer to that spreadsheet and search google for some of those keywords. Try to find a niche that doesn't already look competitive. You should be able to tell by how big the top 10 sites are and how optimized they are for that keyword.
