Key Word Research For Articles
When creating an article you need to do keyword research so that you can help your article to find its way on to the front page of Google. If you are still using the same method for keyword research as you use to find out if a niche is profitable, or for finding a keyword specific domain name for your site, I have some startling news for you.
Finding a good domain name or keyword research for a niche, is completely different than writing an article.
Therefore it makes sense that keyword research for article marketing needs to be done differently.
You need to find keywords for the the topic that you are promoting using articles, and you need to find thousands of these keywords. You can do this by using the Googke Adwords Keyword Tool.
If you find keywords that are getting hundreds of thousands of searches, you need to take that keyword and enter it in to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool and dig deeper for more keywords
You will need to set up an excel sheet to keep the list of keywords you find. You will then need to find if any articles on ezinearticles.com rank in the top 5 results of Google, for any of the keywords you have found.

Once you have installes SEOQuake type into Google search
site:ezinearticles.com KEYWORD (notice that you do not use any quote marks)
You need to look at the top 10 results for each keyword and you need to look at the articles and see how many back links are pointing to each article.
You will want to find articles that rank in the top 5 of Google that are getting good search volumes for that keyword, and that have few back links. You also need to check how many views each article is getting.
With a little work on articles that match this criteria you can almost make sure that your articles will appear high up in Google ranking and find themselves on page one for that specific keyword.
