Daily Growth Tip: Get more traffic by using forums to find easy keywords Looking for a simple way to identify terms that you know people are discussing? Find a niche forum and produce articles regarding their top keywords. For nearly a decade, Steve Toth of SEO Notebook has used forums to find amazing keywords, and he claims it's a useful strategy in almost any niche. This is what you do: Locate a popular forum in your field. Enter the forum URL into a program like Ahrefs or SEMrush, then navigate to the organic keyword tab. Set a restriction that the keywords must begin with who, what, where, when, why, or how and filter for SERP positions up to #10. You now have question-based keywords that the forum ranks for, and because forum material isn't often designed for SEO, it's a good bet that you can rank for it as well. To be safe, check the keyword difficulty, make sure there's enough volume, and then compose your post.
