This is a great way to write articles that will gain you Google traffic instantly!

I have not spent money using Google AdWords in months, but I still use AdWords powerful Keyword Tool to help me decide article topics. The Keyword Tool will detail the current month’s search volume, the average search volume for the past 12 months and give you an of the advertiser activity competition (how much advertisers are actively campaigning towards specific keywords). Google AdWords provides you insight into what keywords are hot in Google Search, helping you focus your content and gain tons of Google traffic.

To continue with this tutorial/article you will need to log into your Google AdWords account. If you don’t have an Google AdWords account I recommend Google Trends or other services that can provide the keyword tool data.

Once in to your AdWord account click on a existing or expired campaign (or create one if you don’t have one). To do this go to “Campaign Summary” in the navigation bar and click on a campaign. Then click on one of the Ad groups. Click on “keyword tool.”

Use the “Descriptive words or phrases” option and type in a keyword for the theme of your site/blog. In my example, I will use the “Hawaii” keyword for my Hawaiitopia.com blog.

You will get results for all keywords including and/or related to the “Hawaii” keyword. You can easily sort these results by relevance, current month search volume or past 12 month search volume. I recommend sorting the results by current month search volume. This will show your the current “hot” keywords. It also gives you an idea of what keywords advertisers value the month thus giving you a better chance of getting solicited down the road for advertising money. Here is an example of my “Hawaii” keyword results sorted by current month search volume (by current month I mean the last month Google has full data on).

I now have a list of 100s of keywords relevant to my blog/website and have a starting point on where to focus my next few articles on. Based on my results I would focus on a few articles related to “hawaii vacations”, the “big island hawaii” and maybe even “hawaii beaches.” Here are some articles I will be writing based on this information.

• “Top 5 Hawaii Vacations”
• Things to do on The Big Island Hawaii
• Top Hawaii Beaches

While writing my articles I would focus on the keywords and ensure they are in the subject, meta data and through out the article. I would include at least 2 pictures with the ALT TEXT containing these same keywords. Once the articles are completed I would submit them to these 7 websites knowing they will help me get noticed quicker by Google, Yahoo and other spider/bots. I have used these techniques with a lot of success on my other blogs to gain tons of traffic.
