Want to learn more about SEO? (SAVE this post for tips on keyword research)

Last weekend I shared some of my top tips for boosting your blog traffic with SEO in my stories! If you missed it you can check out the SEO highlight!

If you want to get organic traffic and not rely on social media then it is vital to learn more about SEO. You need to know exactly what people are searching for and create content to answer those specific queries and questions. Without knowing or understanding what popular keywords people are searching for you will get little or no organic traffic.

Keyword research is one of the key parts of SEO and helps you narrow down the main focus of your blog post.

A keyword research tool does the work for you. It compiles a list of all the commonly searched words or phrases that users tend to search for on the internet making it easy for you to narrow in on a specific keyword that you can potentially rank for on Google.

The key is to find a word or phrase that has a higher search volume as well as a lower keyword difficulty ranking. Typically it is easier for beginner bloggers to rank for long tail keywords rather than a specific destination or word. An example of this would be to choose the long tail keyword: Paris 2 Day Itinerary instead of Paris.

There are free keyword research tools available but they are pretty limited so I do recommend paying a monthly fee for one with more capabilities. My top picks would be SEMRush or Keysearch.

Do you do a lot of keyword research prior to writing a blog post? Or do you use social media more?

I’ve got a 7 page PDF with my top 6 tips for SEO on the blog! Link in bio @thisworldtraveled.

Back when IG first started out I was living overse

Back when IG first started out I was living overseas and traveling as much as I possibly could. One of my favorite parts of exploring a new destination was finding creative ways to capture the beauty of where I was and that was usually through photography.

Over the years I’ve upgraded my gear, learned how to shoot in manual and have gotten WAY more creative with composition and posing. I’ve even discovered my love for drone photography along the way.

However, in those early years I almost never got a photo with myself in it and wish I could go back in time and change that! This was taken on my first trip to the Maldives back in 2015 and it’s probably one of the only good shots I got with me in it!

Do you have photos from old travels that you wish you could go back and re-shoot? Where was it?

Check out all my Maldives guides up on the blog. Maldives is open to tourists at this time but you need to make sure you follow the specific guidelines for visiting! Link in bio @thisworldtraveled.

Want to learn more about SEO? (SAVE this post for tips on keyword research)

Last weekend I shared some of my top tips for boosting your blog traffic with SEO in my stories! If you missed it you can check out the SEO highlight!

If you want to get organic traffic and not rely on social media then it is vital to learn more about SEO. You need to know exactly what people are searching for and create content to answer those specific queries and questions. Without knowing or understanding what popular keywords people are searching for you will get little or no organic traffic.

Keyword research is one of the key parts of SEO and helps you narrow down the main focus of your blog post.

A keyword research tool does the work for you. It compiles a list of all the commonly searched words or phrases that users tend to search for on the internet making it easy for you to narrow in on a specific keyword that you can potentially rank for on Google.

The key is to find a word or phrase that has a higher search volume as well as a lower keyword difficulty ranking. Typically it is easier for beginner bloggers to rank for long tail keywords rather than a specific destination or word. An example of this would be to choose the long tail keyword: Paris 2 Day Itinerary instead of Paris.

There are free keyword research tools available but they are pretty limited so I do recommend paying a monthly fee for one with more capabilities. My top picks would be SEMRush or Keysearch.

Do you do a lot of keyword research prior to writing a blog post? Or do you use social media more?

I’ve got a 7 page PDF with my top 6 tips for SEO on the blog! Link in bio @thisworldtraveled.
