Isn’t it nice we don’t have to pay for tools so necessary?

After all, without keyword analysis tools, our articles would get stale on the proverbial shelf.

Keyword competition tools are the gifts that keep on giving.

Use them, you’ll get organic traffic from search engines, and you’ll generate traffic for years to your posts.

    Although we have to write for the visitors and not for search engine robots, keyword research is one of best ways to discover new content ideas and grow traffic. I never used Hubshout, looks a good tool to evaluate what’s working and what isn’t.

    • Janice Wald

      Hubshout use is where I get my ideas for my internal links. Since those posts rank, I get to boost their rankings by using them as links. Thanks for commenting and happy new year to you.

    I haven’t focused on such tools in a very long time, as i’ve put most of my energy into streamlining and growing my main blog.

    That being said, this year i’d like to resume several things that i’ve had put off (such as publishing articles, since most of the pieces published on the blog are from guest bloggers). I will also add one of these keyword tools to my wishlist; SEMRush seems very promising. Thanks for the glorious reminder!
