Keywords in technology

In technology, keywords are our signals used so others can find us in the vast universe of the internet. When, where, and how we use keywords will be a big factor on who will find our blogs, websites and social media inputs.

We surely want traffic to our blog. We blog thinking that we have something useful to share, and the use of keywords will help our blog to be found more easily in the search engions, such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, and others. A blog platform such as WordPress, will often list categories of topics, and narrow that list down to another list of specific keywords. Keywords are usually listed at the beginning or ending of a blog post, and when a word is clicked on, other related posts can be viewed and read. I use WordPress and like the system of order wwith the categories and keywords. Think of the category as the folder, and the keyword as a document within the folder.

A good strategy for getting higher on the search engion page, and getting more traffic to your blog, website, social media page, is to dedicate one page (or document) to one keyword. Write everything you can about that one keyword, but don’t make it too long, and provide useful content around the keyword to interest readers.

In our internet avtivities, we often are focussed on certain keywords. In our offline communications we use keywords, and in fact, we use very little language out of the entire language universe. We are keyword focussed off and online. I sometime catch myself using words or phrases over and over that I wish I would not use, or that sound dull or ridiculous, but can’t easily reject them. They are my keywords by nature or habit.In blogging technology, keywords are our constantly used tools.

What I have recently done, was to make lists of keywords around more general categories. When I am ready to blog about something, I can go to my keyword lists and pull the word out that I want to use. My only task would then be to use the keyword throughout my blog post in a useful, interested manner that will attract readers and search engion crawlers.
