GooGoo for Google Monday - Google Trends
Time for another episode of Google Monday, this time with a trends feel to it. In order to make your blog what readers want you should write about what people are searching for. Makes sense, right? One of the easiest ways to do that is to visit Google Trends on a daily basis. Google Trends gives you a quick snapshot of what the popular searches are for that day. For example, one of todays most popular searches is for “Bill Walsh“. He was the mastermind behind the offense that 90% of todays football teams use, and also lost his battle with leukemia today. Google Trends does more than that, if you submit a search term, Trends will tell you the search frequency and pattern over the last year for that term. This information can be used to plan upcoming posts.
Try this in your spare time: Pick a few search terms to enter into Trends and pick one that has a clear pattern of search frequency. I would give you examples now however, Google Trends appears to be down for maintenance right now so this example is hypothetical. Say you check the trends for “quarterly financials”. This term probably gets more searches every three months during a particular time of those months. You can use this information to pack your blog full of posts that include those keywords around that time.
Find a search term that suits your blog niche and some informational trends on that term to help your blog attract those organic readers. Good Luck with your Trends usage. Be sure to let me know how you use Google Trends.
