How to predict the popularity of your blog topics

Thanks to Michael for pointing to a useful tool that predicts the popularity of the topics and categories you choose to highlight in your blog. Under Tools click the Keyword Selector Tool to find out ahead of time who’s searching for what categories.

I ran the numbers on my own blog Categories for the number of keyword searches done in July across the internet:

 105,753  global warming
  75,969  blogging
  12,280  public speaking
  11,143  business communication
   2,982  culture shock
   2,614  speech writing
   1,441  cultural differences
     356  blog review
     349  international communication
     255  keynotes
     199  speechwriting

Interesting to see how many more people are searching for keywords that would point them to my posts on the Global Warming debate vs. my posts on international communications. And my posts on Al Gore are indeed in the top five for page hits for the last three months in a row.

In a wider sense, this tool would also help executives and speech writers choose presentation topics that are of greatest interest to their audience.

Note to self: start using the tag speech writing rather than speechwriting.
