No matter what type of keyword research you use, there are more than just seo tools that come into play with keywords when blogging.
A good blogger must know what the current trends in the niche are. You can do this by doing many of the suggestions I have made in the past from one of my Blogging Tips posts. Or from the Blogging Tips post about Google Labs I wrote.
Knowing this information and blogging about it before there are already 500 other blogs with the information can bring you many new visitors who might not have found your blog otherwise.
Sometimes, the best way to incorporate your newly discovered keywords is by offering a post that gives your opinion on a certain issue that is popular in the current trends. If you have a keen enough eye for what’s going on, and you can write entertaining content about it, you are likely to score many visitors from Google and many other search engines.
Now I’m not saying to stop doing keyword research with SEO Tools, but I am telling you to start looking for keywords in other places as well. It’s not always what people have searched for in the past that will bring you traffic, it could very well be what people are going to search for in the future that brings you the most visitors.
Adding the current trends keywords to your posts will surely net you a good amount of traffic. Especially if you are among one of the few blogs who are targeting those particular keywords. If you can even remotely relate your niche to the topics that are currently popular, you should do well with those words long enough to gain some new subscribers that will remain loyal readers of what you are blogging about.

Good advice. I am already doing this for my website as it gives me a chance to get ahead of the other sites. It’s always good to know what’s going on as quickly as you can to be able to jump the traffic.

Very good information for any blogger to know. This can really make a difference between two similar blogs and will prove which one of the two did better work. Thanks again.

Well, you’ve been using the word ‘niche’ when talking about blogs. But, what about blogs like mine where there is no niche, or the range of topics is wide enough not be called a niche? What keywords do I use? How do I organise my articles?

A good way to get keyword suggestions is to use Google Adwords keyword tool. First, you need an Adwords account. Then start a new PPC campaign for your site and use the keyword tool to find not only keywords that people have searched on but also their monthly relative search volumes.
