Keywords and Articles

It is important to do some keyword research when choosing keywords for your articles. Google Keyword Tool is just fine for that task.

Simply enter a few keywords about your article, submit it, and Google will return many results. Sort them by average traffic ranking per month, choose only keywords that have a traffic ranking, but yet still have as low of competition as possible. If you do that you should do fairly good, you have to really worry about the competition, because if competition outweighs traffic you still won't get hardly anything.

Keyword research, if you haven't learned already, is important for just about anything that you want to be found on the internet, including articles submitted to article directories. Articles with proper SEO can rake in 100s of views a day. But you should not expect this, as even for a professional there is a highly random aspect with each article, some flop, some go viral.
