Well I have the linking down and where to build the links. I have a keyword helper but I'm just confused on this niche blo stuff I thought I got it but apparently not. So I pick a blog niche keyword and put it in my title, meta tags, url and so on. Here's the fun part I try to write about something say dog toys but i narrow it to say tough dog toys. I don't rank at all for that but for a one time article that I wrote to everyone about a dog product ranks like crazy and gets views.
Should I just run with it and try to continue with the one i accidentally got ranked for. I just need some answers on here please i tried reading hubs and alot of them beat around the bush. I just need to know about keywords and how to make sure Google indexes that keyword not another one.
Would it help to bold my keyword in my blog.
Please Help

But I am wondering why there seems to be competition in the real google world and no competition showing for it in the external keyword tool world?

I've only had my new electronics site live a month maybe. To be honest with electronics being such a competitive niche I wondered how long it would take to rank for any key words.Well today in my stats I actually found 6 keywords my site was found by! In fact one of them ranks #4 on the front of...

Greetings fellow hubbers! My hub about chronic pain used to have a nice score in the 80's and since tweaking it a few weeks ago, the score is stuck in the 70's. I think it was over-tweaked and now I'm at a loss as to how to fix it. Please, I humbly ask for your opinions to give it the "Extreme...
