   I have spent a lot of time writing content, but I feel it's not getting found because of a lack of SEO. How do you make the right titles and how do you find what keywords to add? Thanks!

      Your titles need to be things people are searching for. If they are convoluted, obscure, or 'clever', then they won't work. Plain and simple every time.
      
      So go to Google. Type in your main keyword or phrase, before you press enter, a list will appear. That's what people are searching for around that topic.
      
      Now press enter. Just a little way down the page there are more search suggestions, and another bunch at the very bottom of the results page. Now you have a big list of possible titles for that topic.
      
      You can also try askthepublic.com. Again type in your keyword and see what comes up.

   I have not seen you on here for awhile so if you have not been keeping up with HP I am not sure how much you know about the niche sites. I know you already have some of your articles moved, but if you want better traffic for all of them they all need to be on a niche site.
   Figure out how each one needs to be edited to be moved, and then use the "submit my hub to a niche site" button and request that it be evaluated by the HP team. You can do this every 2 weeks, so in a year or two you can have all of your hubs moved to a site where they will see considerably more traffic.

      I'm now a military spouse with 4 kids, so things have been a little crazy these past few years! Recently, I've been trying to edit a bunch of what I have to make it better. I'll try the submit to a niche button. I also keep going back and forth between whether I should delete a lot that aren't doing well, or not. As well as trying to pick one niche, I am kind of all over the place because I enjoy writing about whatever interests me, and it's a bit of this and that. Lots of decisions!
