Congrats to everyone! Personally, I didnt do anything with regards to keyword research. All I did was catch hold of some hot topics and make a post. With my current (offline) work, it has become very difficult to write even 1 post a day. If I am right, I have written the least number of posts in jan and that is hurting the % increase. Somehow I need to find a way (may be scheduling the posts) and write more than 2 posts a day at-least!@Arun, everyone here would love to know more about keyword research you were referring to.
