Many bloggers, and yes for me too occasionally experience "bloggers block" that limits the flow of ideas when blogging. No matter if you're a housewife, student or jobless, blogging can turn you into a successful entrepreneur if applied correctly. Several strategies such as backlink tags are easy to implement, but churning out new, original post day after day is often a challenge.
Finding new ideas is one of the difficult aspect in blogging. Blog ideas can be obtained from many sources, including current news, own experience, customer interaction. However, another great way to search for ideas is simply using Google instant search.

Next time, before you create a site or a topic for your next blog post, head over to Google to discover keywords which would be relevant to your site; eventually improving your search engine optimization (SEO)
