I think one of the most instantly advantageous things you can do as a… blogger I suppose, is to anticipate what people will search for. Of course people are doing this more and more now so it’s alot harder to be the first there, but if you’re persistent and obsessive enough it can be done.

If you own a blog about TV say, think up all of the most popular worldwide TV shows possible, write them down and anticipate what people will search for in a week or a month. If you can do that before anyone else, you will usually land an instant top spot in the search engines when people do start searching for that because you were already there before it was being searched for.

Now obviously given that this isn’t anything new and alot of people do it these days you need to be quick. And maybe doing it with gigantically popular things isn’t always the best option as sometimes even if you get there first there will be so many people doing it and so much media coverage from large media sites that you may still not get there.

But, still experiment. Also try and find niche things that are still popular enough to be avidly searched for amongst a curve of people but not so popular that saturation is an instant give.

You can even take it to the extreme and start buying domains years before future events that you know will be huge, like the Olympics. Then start blogging on them way before anyone else.

I don’t do this enough myself either and actually the idea for this post actually sparked the intention of me following up with it so I will also start doing this more. I think it’s a great thing to do.
