Good Key Words

Key words are words that are being used by those who search relevant topics in the internet.

As a teacher, key words are important in teaching children about reading comprehension. As a teacher, we help the children develop using good key words to be able to understand math word problems, inferencing drills or “reading between the lines” skills.

So what are good key words as used when going online?

Key words are words that are used by people searching for information in the net. These words are then retrieved, in this case in the net, from search engines. Key words are generated by indexing or other keyword extraction methods.

One sure thing that will make your site, whether its a business website or a personal blog, easier to find in search engines is to choose the appropriate key words that relate to your products, services, niche, specialization, and blog’s different posts.

Generalized terms are much harder to find in the search engines because there are other sites “competing” for a high search rank other than you. The more specific words a blogger uses in his posts, the more likelihood that search engines, and people searching for those topics, can find you or your post.

One of the effective places where you can be easily found is by properly using your site’s html title.

How?

Because html titles shows what your post or article or page is all about, in just one sentence, your post/page can be easily found.

For example, I wrote a post about a recent weekend event that we went to. This is the html’s title:

http://teacherjulie.com/2007/11/18/motorcycle-philippines-grand-eyeball-and-toy-run-2007/

The html title above would be better searched than if I used an html title like this:
http://teacherjulie.com/2007/11/18/so-many-motorcycles-in-one-place/

Blogging is is slowly making its form and factor known in the world wide web and of course, to those who are not internet-savvy people.

What  is blogging?

Blogging is like having an online diary where thoughts, events, news, even gossip are written about. But is it possible to write about a variety of topics in one blog? Yes it is.

Blogging, specifically niche blogging, is not just writing about events, whether significant or trivial about your life.

Niche blogging is writing about a certain expertise where the blogger can claim as his field.

The different ways that blogging can be classified as a form of expression can be read here.

There are so many varied reasons to blog.

People have been talking about having your own niche in the blogosphere. Would having a niche limit one to the topics being discussed? Would having a niche limit the blogger’s readership?

Having a niche is probably one sure way to get a specific readership, even if it is a limited readership at first. Why? Niche blogging means using keywords that are easily searched by people. When this happens they these people stumble to your blog, they would be the blogger’s readers, which in turn would drive traffic to that blog and would drive traffic to the site. When that happens, then the blogger can start earning through his blogs.

But of course, this is not easy. Earning through blogging. The path to being paid through blogging is not easy. But if the first step was taken already, that in itself is a start.
