Tags and the Art of Writing Top Blog Posts
A fast way to get content ideas so you can write top blog posts is by using tags (a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file – source wikipedia.org).
Or the way Technorati calls it – “Think of a tag as a simple category name. People can categorize their posts, photos and videos with any tag that makes sense.”
The tactic is simple, all you have to do is this:
visit other people’s blogs in your niche or sub-niche field (using Google).
Type in one or two key terms related to your (sub)niche field along with “blog” (hint – both terms need to be within quotes so you would get more specific results)
Most bloggers are listing their top (or most popular) tags (hint – watch on each blog’s sidebars). Usually that’s done automatically or manually. This is not important.
What really counts is that these tags will help you get new content ideas because they include important key terms within specific niche TOPIC.
And you’ll be able to create top-notch blog content simply by spying (watching) on other niche related blog tags.
These bloggers have already did the hard work, so why not take advantage of this (prior) research and come up with new ideas for your blog postings?
Here’s how to apply today’s tip:
For example, let’s say your blog niche is “blogging“.
If you do a rapid spy on the top tags in the Remarkable Blogging sidebar you should grasp quite a few good ideas. You could write about “Google AdSense“, “Content Ideas“, “Blog Monetization“, and so on.
The bad news is that most bloggers don’t know about this little trick. Or they are too lazy to apply it.
You now have the power to implement this practical TIP on your own blog and come up with new content ideas, quickly & easily.
