Have you ever asked yourself what are your visitors doing after they arrived on your blog ? Where do they click at ? What do they read ? Where , and how fast they are scrolling and reading ? What internal navigation do they use ? What ads do they click ?

If you ever asked yourself these questions, it means that you are on the way to earn money fast. To find the answers to the questions above, you need to use a heatmap generation tool for your blog.
A heatmap generation tool helps you see where visitors have clicked after arriving on your blog. What ads did they choose to click on. And what articles did they find interesting, and what links did they choose to click from the articles you have written.

One of the best tools on the internet is offered by CrazyEgg. Some of you may know the service provided by CrazyEgg, and you may know that it generates some of the best heatmaps, because this tool tracks with high precision where visitors click on your blog, creating heatmap of the results.

There are also free tools for tracking click on your website, that generate heat maps:

Click Heat is a visual heatmap of clicks on a HTML page, showing hot and cold click zones. The latest stable version is 1.7 , but you can also test the latest beta, with some improvements: 1.8-beta. You can download them here.

Click Tale is another way to visually understand your website`s visitors behaviour.

The resulting data is displayed in four meaningful heatmaps: Attention, Total Time, Visitors and Pageviews.

A few tips about the keywords

keywords, words, labels, blogIn order to make your posts easier to find for the search engines, you must think about trying new techniques in the writing process of your posts, beside the good old figures of speech.
The most important of this techniques should be the managing of the keywords. On the web, keywords aren’t the words used to reveal the internal structure of the author’s reasoning, they are the tools used to be noticed by the search engines.
With the help of keywords, you may control how people will find the post in search engines or what they will have to type to find your information, but you also should ask yourself what keywords others are using, because if your keywords are very common, your information will be lost between thousands of posts with similar ones.
For a better result, you may use keywords in titles, tags and links, but you should use them in the content of the post too. You must be careful though and try not to overreact and ruin the post’s content and the reader’s pleasure. The overfilling of the text with keywords is also called keyword stuffing and everyone agrees that loading your page in attempt to manipulate is more often causing a negative effect. SEO experts suggests that the density of the keywords should be somewhere between 5 % and 20%, but I prefer the lower limit for the content’s sake.
Some people like to find keywords, then write an article that could contain those words, but you can try to reverse the approach, by writing a good article, then figure out how to integrate the keywords, you can find it sometimes easier and it usually works for me. This way, your text won’t seem artificial and it won’t offend your reader’s intelligence.
You can check at all time your progress of the post’s optimizing process with a keyword density analyzer.
With all this been said, just remember that most of the times, it’s best to have quality rather than quantity.
