SEO: What's the Buzz?
Wow! I just found an incredibly awesome and potentially valuable site today called “eKstreme.com” that has a whole section of SEO tools.
One of them is called, “What’s the Buzz?” and when you a keyword into the search box, it comes back with:
- popularity of the term on Technorati
- a Google Trends report
- blog posts tagged with the term
- blog posts with the term in their titles
- bookmarks for the term.
Just for the heck of it, I typed in “Twitter,” and was amazed to find that the popularity at Technorati has dipped dramatically over the past month. Not as many posts about Twitter as there once was.
Yet Google Trends says it’s more popular than ever. But here’s news… it’s most popular in Ireland! Who knew?
Anyway, this is a quick and easy way to figure out whether there’s any interest in a niche, or just a good way to get more information from all the blog posts this returns. And if you read my blog, you’ll know it’s also a great way to get ideas about what to write.
Cool, non?
