Almost every single blogger that takes blogging seriously has Google Analytics installed on their blog. There are dozens of useful features built into Google Analytics and as I was digging through my data this weekend and taking a look at what keywords were driving traffic to my blog. This was a fun little exercise and here are are the Top questions that my visitors are asking and hopefully I am answering.

What questions are people asking that are driving them to your blog?
Do you have any specific blogging realted questions…just ask away in the comment section. If I can’t answer, I am sure one of my readers can 
That is a really good point. A lot of people use Google to ask a question, so why are we not writing content to specifically answer those questions?

Yes, I use google analytics. The service I sell online is location specific. I am getting visits clustered around various locations.
Wow, you have some awesome questions and posts relating to them. It’s always nice when you have the answers and it seems Google is still sending traffic to them.
Now all you havr to do is increase the questions and answers section and it will drive even more traffic.

Great post, this is why doing deep keyword research is really important for every page of the site and most importantly posts. So many people just focus on the home page KW and completely neglect to target inner pages where in reality most of the traffic comes from/through.

JR is so right. Instead of, or in addition to, trying to pull KW’s out of the air, why not research the ones that are already being used!

Nice use of keyword research to create a post. One might also consider displaying certain highly visited posts as a section or widget on your page templates. This would mean that each blog page would contain those keywords in the sidebar (maybe using the post titles as h2 headings), and each of those posts, would get a little link juice from each other page on your blog.

This quiz was created just because I couldn’t find a quiz to blog about and January is Bloggie month so, well, there you have it. Yet another stupid blogging quiz from the disturbed mind of yours truly.
I was just wondering about how much of one’s life a weblog could suck in, and that was how I came up with the idea for this quiz. I only scored 37.5%. I would’ve scored higher had I taken it last year when I was still blogging obsessively.

You could steal resources from others, reword it, since people like blogs for their personality. WIn people over from personally liking your style and info.
When you build a website or blog, you need to have the end result in mind well in advance. That is, you need to be in the right niche and generating the right kind traffic to your website.. traffic that is desperate, wanting a solution to a problem and only need a little nudge and push in the right direction (through your affiliate link) to get to their solution.
A very nice post. Will follow all these points and make sure Google recognizes my blog as well. Yes, answering the questions that people normally search is another good way to promote.
Thanks for the shoutout in this post Dan

When you conduct a search, you will see that there is a link to view the image in its original context on the page. Google is not publishing these images on its own.
Use your creativity and imagination! And make sure you edit your videos strategically to make them more interesting.

It’s a great idea to use keyword research to create the actual title of your blog. You can go to Google keyword tool and look for three or four word common phrases in your niche that a lot of people are looking for and write a post about it! It also helps you to keep in the know about what people want.
