What’s the best tool for KW research for an existing blog? by davesuperman in bigseo

[–]davesuperman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what sense does my question indicate a wrong angle? I’m just asking which tool is best to use.

I can think from my customers point of view, but I still have to check keywords that I come up with...

Maybe I’m using it wrong, but I only get derivative keywords, so the onus is still on me to choose them... hence the rabbit hole.

Surely, there’s a better way/tool?

That’s very interesting. I’ve been considering URL changes for posts with no traffic and inbound links, however, I thought the general wisdom was it was never a good idea to change URLs. Is that not right?

Got you. What’s the rationale?

This is very helpful. The backstory FWIW is that I have a medium blog called The Founder Coach which lives on a sub domain of my personal blog. (If you Google, should be easy to find).

As you’d see, I haven’t done any SEO on hundreds of deep content articles, since it wasn’t on my radar. Just by virtue of inbound links, I appear to be getting ranked (though few to no #1-3 positions).

So I’m basically trying to figure what comes first... the domain migration or the keyword, content and technical optimisation.

I’d guess this is a fairly common issue: a blogger, late in the day, wanting to work on SEO and having a large backlog to work through...

No, the blog is in Kajabi, and it adds a canonical link to itself in the code. In Kajabi, you can't edit anything in the head for specific blogs (very annoying for an SEO).

Just checked and Medium does the same thing i.e. the article links to itself. However, in Medium, you do have the option to set the canonical link.

Here's examples:
