Reddit is a community of millions who discussing every topic. And we can find killer and click magnetic keywords from it with the help of the discussions of reddit users.

To tap out the killer keyword Just first go to the reddit and then search discussions which are relevant to your topic. For easy search go to any popular sub-reddit related to your search.

At the discussion page focus on those threads on which people tends to ask a lot of questions Then next scan for the potential keywords who are popping up again and again.

Getting Keywords from google ads

Another very useful trick to get killer keywords is from google adward ads. To get the Idea about click magnet keywords the adwards keywords are very helpful.

The adward ads for competitive keywords are the result of hundreds to thousands of split test.(Split test to maximise up the clicks). And we can use elements of these ads to make our title and description like a click magnet.

Let see example:

We are going to write something on the topic of buy cars.

Then take a look on the google ads for the keyword "buy cars".

Keep your focus on the keywords of all the ads and find the matching keywords in all ads.

In my case we have phrases:

1. Used cars
2. for sale
3. Best deal
4. New cars

And by using the above keywords from google ads we can create our title and description tag to work as click magnet.

Discover new untapped keywords from wikipedia

So, if you want to find the keyword that is closely related to your mean topic but not a straight up variation then you should need a living human mind.

And for this wikipedia is the best one because millions of minds are now contributing to wikipedia. Then you should got a question that how we get the untapped keywords from wikipedia. 

Then here is the answer:

Goto the wikipedia and enter your topic related keyword and hit enter

Now keep your eyes on the result page and its elements and sections. These sections are

• CONTENT BOX
• SIDEBAR
• INTERNAL LINKS
• SEE ALSO

After this now you should come up with awesome new keyword ideas that should generate clicks from people. And if you want to do more research for more better keywords in depth then click on the internal links and then do the same above.

In this process, the first I tell you, how to place keywords in title, then in description and then in whole content.

How to place keywords in Title

The main thing in your content is title. Title is the one which Increase your click through rate (CTR). So, your 50%-70% of the clicks are depends on your title. If you have killer and click magnetic title then you will receive more clicks.

When it comes to keyword placement, then in title you have to add your main keyword. The keyword which you want to target in search engines. Try to make your Title more descriptive, your title should explain your content.

How to Place Keywords in Description

After title, the second important thing is meta description. Meta description also play a vital role in search engine ranking. This is also flagged by google as a ranking signal. Same like title you also have to place your keywords in description too.

In description you have to add your main keyword along with two or three secondary keywords. This will help you to rank your content for multiple search queries. Try to make your description more descriptive and should give a little overview of your whole content.

How to Place Keywords in Content

Ok, now it is King's turn. In content you have to be very careful. You have to be wise during keyword placement in content. If you place keywords in content in wrong way then you will get red flag from big G(google).

Try to add all of your main and secondary keywords in your first two paragraphs. Each paragraph should only have 1 or 2 keywords. Don't stuff your content with the same keywords again and again but try to use synonyms. Add your main keyword 5 - 7 times throughout your content of 500-650 words, 8-10 times in 1000-1200 words.

Try to write lengthy content. This will give you more opportunity to add more and more your targeted keywords in content.
