How to Find the Hottest Tags for Your Social Posts
Before you even create your Squidoo Lens, Hub Page or any other content creation based Web 2.0 site, do a little research on keywords to use for your tags.
Even though tag pages get high ranks in Google and a lot of traffic within the sites, you can also use those keywords in more places than tag options. You can stuff them (in a natural way) into your profile, the url of the page, and your titles and sub-titles.
Start off at Google.com to determine what your tags will be by looking for the hottest tag pages related to your content, product offering or service.
For your Squidoo lenses:
In google, type:
site:www.squidoo.com “Squidoo : Tags” KEYWORD
into the search box.
Remember to first replace KEYWORD with your best guess or educated choice on which keyword your target market is frequently using.
For your HubPages:
In google, type:
site:hubpages.com KEYWORD “Hot Hubs”
into the search box.
Where KEYWORD is your main keyword, phrase or testing keyword/phrase.
Then…
- Make a list of all the tags from the tag page results shown in Google.
- Create your lens or hubpage and use the tags within your content, as part of the page url, within your profile, and within your title – where ever you can without over-stuffing.
- Add the tags to your lens or hubpage using the tag feature during page creation.
