How to find Keyword for Blog

Before going into the main topic “How to find keyword for blog”, let us find out the meaning of keyword. 

What is keyword ?
http://en.wikipedia.org explains it as 

“In computer programming, a keyword is a word or identifier that has a particular meaning to the programming language. The meaning of keywords — and, indeed, the meaning of the notion of keyword — differs widely from language to language.

In many languages, such as C and similar environments like C++, a keyword is a reserved word which identifies a syntactic form. Words used in control flow constructs, such as if, then, and else are keywords. In these languages, keywords cannot also be used as the names of variables or functions.
Some languages, such as PostScript, are extremely liberal in this approach, allowing core keywords to be redefined for specific purposes.

In Common Lisp, the term "keyword" (or "keyword symbol") is used for a special sort of symbol, or identifier. Unlike other symbols, which usually stand for variables or functions, keywords are self-quoting and evaluate to themselves. Keywords are usually used to label named arguments to functions, and to represent symbolic values.

Languages vary as to what is provided as a keyword and what is a library routine. Some languages, for instance, provide keywords for input/output operations whereas in others these are library routines. In Python (versions earlier than 3.0) and many BASIC dialects, print is a keyword. In contrast, the C and Lisp equivalents printf and format are functions in the standard library.
Typically, when a programmer attempts to use a keyword for a variable or function name, a compilation error will be triggered. In most modern editors, the keywords are automatically set to have a particular text colour to remind or inform the programmers that they are keywords.

In languages with macros or lazy evaluation, control flow constructs such as if can be implemented as macros or functions. In languages without these expressive features, they are generally keywords.”- source

What is keyword ?

“(kē´werd) (1) In text editing and database management systems, a keyword is an index entry that identifies a specific record or document

(2) In programming, a keyword is a word that is reserved by a program because the word has a special meaning. Keywords can be commands or parameters. Every programming language has a set of keywords that cannot be used as variable names. Keywords are sometimes called reserved names

(3) A word used by a search engine in its search for relevant Web pages.” - source

Step 1. In the section “word or phrase” write the word or words for which you are searching for the keywords.


Step 2. ‘Broad’ type selection will give you a broad selection of keywords.

“Phrase” will bring the same search term text in keywords.


Step 3. Some filter options are available under Advanced options.

Global Monthly Search Volume helps you to determine how much searches were made for a specific keyword and helps you to find out if that keyword is worth your attention.


Step 5. Hit the search button and you will get the results. The fields are easy to understand. 
Competition : - You will find the words high, medium and low in the competition field against each keyword. It is better to use low and medium keyword with high number of monthly searches.
