Hey, Thank you so much mistyhorizon2003. Helpful Information.
I don't think that FAQ answer really addresses choosing a good topic. Of course, "good topic" is rather vague. Good in that it's easy to write, something you're passionate about, or one that will bring in lots of traffic (none are mutually exclusive, of course!).
Be sure how to use the Google Keyword Tool. Many subjects are good if you just use the right keyword. Too much competition is what keeps you from ranking well in Google.
Yes, one and the same. Again, the learning center has advice on how to use it properly for our purposes; it is actually set up for adwords users but can be very useful for publishers as well if done correctly.
If you want to write hub to maximize your earnings then you should write on universal evergreen topic. You should write on the topic that people search through out the year and will search through out life.
Topics related to beauty tips, home remedies, money making etc are evergreen topic and people search for the related information through out the year.
I always select evergreen topics and getting some success here, wyou can see the titles of my hubs to understand it better.
Don't write anything without checking the Google Keyword Tool and the competition. I've been going through my hubs that aren't getting traffic and it is because I shouldn't have written about the topics to begin with. At the beginning, I didn't have a clue about using the keyword tool. Even if I change the titles, there is so much competition that I need to just delete them. For one topic, it get 0 searches, even if I change the keywords. Don't waste your time. Check everything out first.
Barbara Kay is absolute correct! I learned the same lesson, and am trying to fix it as I go along, but it is stalled out due to these bugs.
Basically find a topic that you truely enjoy and that is frequently searched as others have said. Even if you find a perfect topic using keyword search you should also enjoy yourself when writing it. I think it really shows in the quality of writing.

Yesterday I've sent out my home office hub to Dengarden--even after I've took upon your advice by changing title and reorganizing it, it's been declined once again. Any new tips to help me out would be great. Here's the link: https://hubpages.com/living/Back-to-Bas … uter-Desks

Can someone explain to me in plain English what competition means with regard to us?It says there that it gives an indication of how many advertisers are bidding for a keyword. But what does that mean?I always thought high competition meant that too many webpages are after the same keyword, but now...

Hi all. I just started this thread because I need some advice on choosing keywords. Sometimes when selecting keywords, I choose the keywords with about 200 global searches a month but not much competition. This is good and I rank very well for those keywords but I feel that I don't get enough...

I heard many times about promoting your hub, and making it SEO friendly or SEO optimized. How to do that exactly? And what to do?

In Google keyword tool, I found a keyword phrase with a good local monthly search number - 33,100 - plus low competition.To optimize this phrase, how many times should it appear in a 2,000 word hub? General number...There's 9 web pages with the keyword phrase in the "allintitle" search.Is...
