The main question is what is keyword and what is keyword research? and why we need to do keyword research.

a keyword is a ‘single word’ or ‘phrase’ (more than one word) which people type in the search engine to search a particular information or product or anything. In short, keywords are the words which people like us write in the search engines like google, yahoo, bing etc. for what they are looking for.

keyword research is the process to find the best keywords. Best keywords mean keywords which meets our criteria to start blogging about. Best keyword means it has a high search volume and low competition.

How To Do keyword research step by step using traffic Travis

You have a pen, diary and traffic Travis installed on your computer. When you start your traffic Travis for the first time it will ask for some details like your email id, a registration code (sent by traffic Travis in your email) and Google AdWords account details.

OK. Let’s start keyword research. I am sure you have already decided your niche. So your first step is to think which is your seed keyword.

Seed keyword: Seed keyword is a very closely related keyword to your niche which we will use to find our best and profitable keywords in traffic Travis. If you don’t understand, don’t worry. Let’s start with an example.

Think that you want to start a blog teaching salsa dance. It means teaching salsa is your niche. So consider the phrase ‘salsa dance’ your seed keyword. Now I think you completely understand up to this. Start traffic, Travis.

It will look like this:

Traffic Travis includes Dashboard, My site,  Research, SEO and PPC in its menu. Further, it includes keyword research and domain research under research tab and Ranking, Competition, Backlinks and Link finder features under SEO tab. But for this purpose, we only want keyword research under research tab and competition feature under SEO tab. Go to keyword research. It will look like this:

Now Enter your seed keyword in the keyword box. You can add upto 5 such similar seed keywords in this free version. After entering your seed keyword, set search 100 keywords and click on FETCH button. For example, I am writing here ‘salsa dance’ and set a search option to 100 keywords. It will look like this:

The result of keyword research by traffic travis will look like this:

You can download this results to your PC as PDF and CSV file from the left side bottom.

Now the real game starts. I am sure you are thinking now what? how to choose best and profitable keywords from these 100 keywords? Don’t worry. I am giving you criteria’s to select the best keywords for you. First, you do one thing, write down 30-40 best keywords you like related to your niche from this 100 keywords list. Done? Fine.

TIPS: Try to find long tail keywords because for long tail keywords you can rank high with less efforts as compared to short tail keywords.

Long tail keywords: Generally long tail keyword considered as keywords with more than three words.

Important Note: There is a great tool to find profitable long tail keywords named long tail pro, click here to visit Long tail pro tool.

Short tail keywords: short tail keyword are keywords up to three words.

Alright, now I have prepared a list containing 40 keywords related to ‘salsa dance’ from this 100 keywords list. Next task is to shorten this 40 keywords list as per our requirement. Our goal is to rank high for the specific niche. For that, we have to find keywords with high search volume and low competition.

Now, go to Competition under SEO tab. You have to check your these keywords for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Simply write your keywords in the keywords box. You have to write 5 keywords because in free trial version traffic Travis permits maximum of 5 keywords for each time. So you have to repeat this for about 8 times. After writing your keywords in the box, click on fetch button. Observe the results.

You can also download these results in PDF or CSV format. From your 40 keywords list, cancel all keywords that have result under difficulty field ‘medium difficulty’ or ’difficult’. For remaining keywords, go to ‘report’ field and click on ‘view details’.

SEO Competition Report For Other KeywordFor your keywords there must be atleast 2 website or blog which have page rank 2 or less. If any keyword does not fulfill this criteria, remove it from your list. Check this for all remaining keywords. Your list is now about half means 15-20 keywords.

Moving to the next step, open your browser and go to google. Type allintitle:keyword (write your keyword in place of word keyword from your 15-20 keywords list one after one) and note down the search result for every keywords.

Allintitle: What is salsa has 4,460 pages, allintitle: how to dance salsa has 17,200 pages, allintitle: how to do salsa has 2,950 pages, allintitle:how to do salsa dance has 1,080 pages, allintitle: free salsa lessons has 72,800 pages and so on…

Now cancel all keyword which has above 15,000 pages. I think your list will become half and it will be around 7-10. My list now contains 08 keywords which include keywords like what is salsa, how to do salsa, how to do salsa dance, etc. These keywords are our perfect keywords to start blogging about now. When you start blogging using this optimized keywords, it is my guarantee that you will not fail again.

Our selected keywords must meet following criteria’s:

1. Competition for that keyword should be ‘Relatively Easy’ in traffic travis difficulty field.
2. Under SEO > Competition > Report > View details. See the details atleast 2 out of the 10 website should have a page rank 2 or less.
3. Allintitle:keyword search results should not be more than 10,000 to 15,000 for beginners and 35,000 to 50,000 for intermediates.
