Let’s break some SEO rules today—in the best way possible.
While most people are cross-checking keywords in tools and calling it a day, there’s a smarter play that very few use:
🔍 The Keyword Triangulation Method (KTM)
What it is:
This method cross-references 3 different data sets not to confirm trends…but to exploit their disagreements.
You're hunting keywords where:
Ahrefs/Ubersuggest shows high traffic volume
Google Search Console shows low impressions
Reddit or Quora show high discussion volume
These are underexploited zones—people are talking, searchers are clicking, but Google hasn’t caught up. That’s your traffic sweet spot.
Step-by-Step:
Start with 10 blog ideas you want to write.
Run them through Ahrefs or Ubersuggest. Get estimated volume.
Search Reddit/Quora using:
site:reddit.com [topic]orsite:quora.com [topic]
Count thread volume and freshness.Check GSC: Are impressions for this phrase surprisingly low for your own site?
If yes, you’ve struck gold.
🧪 Pro Tip:
If Reddit is buzzing and GSC is silent, the keyword is pre-mainstream. Write it today and dominate before the competition even notices.
📌 Example:
Everyone is targeting “Substack growth tips.”
But on Reddit, people are asking about “how to write viral Substack headlines”—a keyword with tiny competition but huge upside.
One More Thing
Great keyword research doesn’t confirm trends. It disrupts them.
Go where the tools disagree—and claim your space before anyone else even sees it.
