WordPress SEO - Focusing Niche Markets

The process of finding Niche markets requires exploring and experimenting. I have used blogs and webstats programs(FireStats) to determine what people are interested in. This method uses this same technique to hone or focus in on your market.

One other thing I do is keep a keyword list by my computer so when I’m posting I know which words I want to add to the post. This keeps me focused on the niche I am serving and the SEO target.

Try it out it, it works well.

Well, let me back up a second here. I recently installed the Firestats plugin and it’s been amazing. It’s capable of providing me with the recent referrers, so I can see where my traffic is coming from, and also provide a list of my top posts.

So what I did was I took some of those top posts and analyzed them for what keyword they were ranking really well for. I then wrote another article with the similar theme and makeup with keywords to generate some fresh content. I noticed that I was in the top10 for a specific keyword, such as I mentioned above, so I wrote an additional article. Guess what? I now have two top10 ranking listings in the Google index. Users are going to be twice as likely to visit your site now because of the visibility.

Google My Blog: Publishing to WordPress with Google Docs

Google Documents has a feature for Publishing documents to blogs. Let’s take a look at it and see how good a job it does with WordPress.

Google Docs & Information Products
If you haven’t signed up for Google Docs I would recommend it. It works really well for gathering notes from Google Notebook and then build into information products (ebooks, special reports, or trend gathering).

3+ Steps to Setting up Your Blog Connection

  1. Select setting your blog site settings link to configure Google Documents conduit (Figure 2)
  2. Now you need to select what type of blog software you use and a user account and password to post the document to.
  3. For WordPress on your own server (Figure 3)
    1. Select My own Server
    2. Set the API to MovableType API
    3. Set URL http://<yoursitename>/path/to/xmlrpc.php. This is installed in the root directory where you installed WordPress.
    4. User Name and Password: enter a valid user name and password for your WordPress installation.
    5. Enter in the Blog ID/Title for your blog
    6. Options - Include document title when posting - this doesn’t seem to work at this time.
    7. Press the Test button to test accessing your WordPress installation. Once everything is working press the Ok button to save the settings. Everything is set.

Once they blog is setup Google Docs will remember these settings for all future publishing.

6 Steps to Publishing a Document

  1. Go back Google Docs.
  2. Create a new document
  3. Save the Document
  4. Select the Publish option (see Figure 1)
  5. Select the Post to Blog button (see Figure 4)
  6. Press Ok button to post the document to your blog (see Figure 5)


This publishing method works but you will still need to setup the categories for the post as well as the title from within WordPress.

Give it a try.

By the way, this document was created and posted via Google Documents as an example.
