Can we optimize our blog for SEO without using any keyword research tools?
The answer is YES! But why spend more time when we can do it easily with the help of a keyword generator tool?
Hello Bitlanders! I hope you are doing great this weekend. In my recent blog post, 10 Blogging Lessons I Learned From Bitlanders, I mentioned that I have been using Ubersuggest to help me find the keywords or tags for my blog posts. One of our friends, InX_GL requested a simple guide in using the said tool.
I hope that through this blog post, I would be able to shed some light on the common issues faced by most members of the platform, finding the proper tag. We should be aware that one of the criteria, in order to get a high rating in a blog review is having a proper tag.

What are Keywords?

Keywords are ideas and topics that define what your content is about. In terms of SEO, they're the words and phrases that searchers enter into search engines, also called "search queries." If you boil everything on your page — all the images, video, copy, etc. — down to a simple words and phrases, those are your primary keywords.

As writers, we should remember that we are writing for a specific group of readers. That is why it is imperative to consider how the target readers will search for a content with the use of the search engines. Meaning, we have to take a look at two important aspects. First, to simplify the content and be able to get its main idea and second, to think of every possible word or phrase the prospective readers may use in order to search for this idea. Combining the results, we could possibly get the perfect keyword or phrase that could describe our content.
Taking into consideration the reality that people think differently, the result may be overwhelming. Oftentimes, we struggle with finding the right keyword that would describe best our written content.
This is where the keyword finder tool is helpful.
The Problem with Finding the Right Keywords

The main goal of the site is to have the contents to rank in the search engines and get organic traffic to visit our contents. Our goal as a member of the site is to pass the review, get high ratings and eventually get higher earnings. Thus, we want more accurate keywords to describe our contents.
We wrote a long blog post covering a topic which we believe could deliver the necessary information our readers need. We followed the rules and submitted the content. The time comes when our blog post was reviewed. Then we received a comment, "The tags you chose were quite poor, some of them were not really related to your post."

Apparently, finding the perfect tag is yet another exhausting task.

The tool will not only show the suggested keywords but also the number of monthly searches for that particular keyword or phrase. If possible, choose from the list the keywords related to your content with more than 1 thousand searches per month.
On the final thought...
Ubersuggest is a helpful tool that can help us in order to get the most relevant keyword for our contents. However, the tool is only a part of the whole picture. Let us remember that we have yet to work on other criteria such as quality and originality, length, language used, presentation and appearance in order to get the high rating for a specific blog post.
