Tip: Discovering new keyphrases for search engine traffic using random pages plugin

Discover new keyphrases that will drive huge traffic to you site.

By using this plug-in in combination with Google analytics you may find you get significant traffic for a topic your blog doesn't cover due to the added keywords from this widget.

For example

  • Your entry on "Making a Carrot Cake" may contain a random link to "Making Tomato Soup" when it is cached by google.
  • Due to this, you start receiving traffic for the search term "Tomato Soup Cake" because of the presence of all those words on your post at the time of caching.
  • You have just identified a high value keyword which will give you guaranteed traffic if developed into a full post.
  • Since the links are random, the next time google caches the page it may find yet another keyphrase that drives traffic. Develop it into a post as well!
