Just google the topic of your website. You just have to find the 4–5 most popular websites and you are good to go.

1. Find A Popular Site in Your Niche

Here keyword research tools like Ubersuggest and Smerush play a vital role.
I put that site on Ubersuggest and sorted the results by keyword difficulty.
You can see the green color shows that the keyword is easy to rank.

2. Use a Keyword Research Tool

With high search volume, low competition, and growing trends. So you should aim for keywords with a volume of 1000+ and keyword difficulty less than 30. Use 2 types: <ul><li>Commercial keywords are keywords that have words like Review, Best, Top 10, etc.</li><li>hereas informational keywords include words like How to, Best way to, Ways to, I need to, Tips, Strategies.</li></ul>

3. Steal Hanging Keywords

You can also check whether that specific keyword has a growing trend or not on Google Trends.Initially, you should work 70% on the informational and 30% on the Commercial keywords.<ul><li>Subscribe my blog in get more ideas about writing 👉 Follow</li></ul>

So one day I started researching my competitors and found a keyword that was ranking on the top spot and was driving 66% of traffic to their blog post.

I used that exact keyword and made a blog post around that keyword.

And guess what the website that was getting only 200–300 views per day started getting 5000 views in less than a month.
