Texas SEO Company Blog

The four leading search engines are always trying to improve their offerings and each one has a unique yet somewhat similar tool to help webmasters make the most of their SEO efforts. These tools are designed to help you see what is popular or what is “up and coming” in the search engines, which is useful if you want to know what people are searching for right now. You can then use that information to play off of the popular searches and SEO your website or blog to meet that demand.

Starting with the most popular search engine, Google, and working our way down, here are four tools the search engines provide to help you with your Texas SEO:

• Google Hot Trends - Lists the top 100 search trends at Google.
• Yahoo Buzz Index - An overview of what is popular at Yahoo. Unlike Google’s Hot Trends, Yahoo Buzz is organized by broad categories.
• Xtreme Movers - This is MSN Live’s list, but it isn’t a most popular searches list. It’s a list of the searches that are rising the fastest. Keep in mind that the lower down the list of popularity an item is, the higher percentage of growth it is likely to see with any movement. I’m a little leerie of this one.
• Interesting Queries - Updated weekly, this is Ask.com’s version of the most popular searches. Like the Yahoo! Buzz index, Interesting Queries is organized by categories.

The best way to make good use of Texas SEO from these lists is to find a hot topic that is at least a little bit related to your niche and blog about it, or create a static web page about it. Be sure to relate it to the state of Texas or your local geographic area, if possible.

For instance, if you are a fashion designer in Quinlan, Texas you might want to write a little piece on your blog about one of the latest fashion trends. Google Hot Trends has “abercrombie and fitch” at 81 on the top 100 list. You could write something about Abercrombie and Fitch on your fashion blog and say something like “The last place on earth you’d expect to see an Abercrombie and Fitch fashion show is in Quinlan, Texas ….”

Texas SEO is all about regionalizing or localizing your SEO efforts to reach the audience you want to reach at home. Do all that you can to maximize your opportunities. The search engine tools are there to help you.
