Weekly Topic Inspiration: Back to School
Can you believe it's a new month already? Before we know it, it'll be over and September will be here. Y'all know what September means. SCHOOL!!!!
This is why cardelean quite astutely recommended that we have a back to school topic this week! It's a great topic- and a really fun to write on, too. I hope it gives you some good ideas!
Here are some keywords to consider including in a title of one of your Hubs on the subject (or to pepper in the Hub's body): back to school sales, back to school sales, back to school items, back to school supplies, back to school outfits, back to school checklist, back to school list, back to school promotions, back to school printables, back to school activities, back to school clothes shopping, back to school stuff, back to school theme, back to school specials, back to school bags, back to school party, back to school ideas, back to school products, back to school stores, back to school shoes, back to school bulletin board ideas, back to school clothes, back to school style, back to school at 30, back to school themes, back to school decorations, back to school supplies list, kids back to school, back to school worksheets, going back to school, back to school crafts
These keywords popped up after some basic research with the Google Keyword tool, and are ideal in the sense that they have more than 500 but fewer than 50,000 global searches each month. I have not researched each of these competition-wise, so you might want to Google a phrase or potential title before choosing it to make sure you're not covering an exhausted topic in which you don't stand much chance of overtaking the competition.
You can do your own keyword research, too - here's how!
If you'd like to join in on this week's topic by writing a Hub, follow these steps:
1) Click here to visit this week's topic.
2) Click the green button "answer this question".
3) Click the gray button below the box (leave that empty) that says "make a Hub about it."
4) Give your Hub a very specific title, like Easy Summer Gardening Projects for Kids or Challenging Summer Activities for Teens
5) Create good quality original content that hasn't been covered before.
6) After you publish your Weekly Topic Inspiration Hub, come back to this forum thread and post a link to your Hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.

Thanks for the great topic cardelean!
Thank you very much glassvisage!
First one of these topic inspiration weeks I've had a chance to participate in.
Writing about school bags and their importance for organization at the middle school level...
http://sagebrush-mama.hubpages.com/hub/ … -and-FindsImpressive insider info in your Back to school bags for middle schoolers! A really helpful hub from someone who has lived the "tween" classroom experience first hand. And those Princess bags in your second hub are a very organized and feminine back to school statement!
Awesome tips and advice SBM!LOL! I can only imagine-- I appreciate that your hubs offer some very helpful points on the subject. Honestly, "Tweens" scare the h*ll outta' me!
Excellent point, Will Apse!
That's why it's super important to utilize keywords in moderation. That said, it's important to use words that people actually *use* to search (e.g. nobody is searching for the best "writing implements" for kids this fall, but they are searching for "pens").
What Paul is referring to in his post were Hubs that take SEO too far. The key is to FIRST create a good article that is genuinely good, and SECOND to make sure that people will be able to find it by making sure it's search-friendly
Hi again K9!
Thank you so much.... I really appreciate your feedback. And some teachers have already started to respond to it!
Cheers-
Dave
Well, I took this another way and wrote about going back to GRAD school
Because I know it was something I struggled with after graduating!

Great idea for a topic of the week!Awesome! Thanks for doing every bit of the footwork for us. You should do one of those info-commercials! You really put these Crayola Erase Crayons through the ringer-- I am now a fan of these new fun and useful school tools.
I feel I have earned my status as an "over the hill adult!" I giggled when I read the title!
Very useful, this is! I don't think the title is offensive at all either
Bummer about the url, I have done that before too. I have even in the past changed a hub title on purpose, knowing the url would not match, and things went just fine-- It is not recommended, but it happens.
I thought the hub was spectacular. Being this is back to school season, I simply had to tweet and FB this hub to my friends (and everyone else). Nice job!No worries about the URL- it happens all the time
And great Hub!
I found your table and tips more than helpful here and really easy to read. Anyone heading back to school should read this hub!
Yikes! comes to mind when reading this hub. As if getting an education isn't hard enough! These mills make me really angry.
Great topic.
The Hubs y'all published on this week's topic were really top notch. I'm so glad cardelean thought of it!
Our new topic for the week is using technology to simplify your life. I hope you join in again! I'd love to hear how everyone keeps things simple in today's increasingly complex world.
