I like to examine Google Hot Trends to find out what’s going on in the world. And today I found Google Search-based Keyword Tool on FriendFeed. So I type in the keywords with which I associate my blog “risk” and “security“. After a little sorting – the interface is still beta I think – I find that the following keywords are well searched and sold ads: “wireless“, “home“, “security“, “camera“, and “systems“.
In particular “home security” and “security camera(s)” are well searched, with the first being highest when I test the terms in Google Insights for Search (Try for yourself.) This information can be used in Google Sets to find out what other words are associated with my keywords. (Try for yourself.)
So what can you do with this information, besides from get your blog posts a high rating?

Interesting. Do you think it’s indicative of more people lookin gto install their own home security systems, or simply an outgrowth of the use of webcams etc?
And thanks for the Google Sets pointers – will check it out myself…
Cheers

It could be either, people are more willing to create their own custom solutions whether this is as a webcam, security solution or a jennicam. How many people are really posting more about themselves online?

Came across this post through Google Alerts (which I use to track industry news on subjects like “Home Security” that are relevant to what we do here at HomeCamera). Anyway, I wanted to quickly respond to what webhat said about people who’re really posting about themselves online…
I was told by one of the hugely networked people on HomeCamera’s Board that Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google) recently said that Google’s statistics indicate that the average blog is read by 1.1 people. That’s a riot… it means way too many people have way too much to say that is of no interest to the rest of the world…

That’s funny, I have about 26 daily visitors, more when I actually update my blog, it goes up to 150. Taking the huge sites into account there must be sites which nobody visits.
Anyway Varun this proves my point that you can lure more readers to your blog with just a tiny bit of work. So average bloggers with 1.1 visitors don’t intend for people to visit their blogs.
