I discussed keyword focused articles recently with Rikki Endsley, an editor for opensource.com. She told me one way to boost visibility, searchability, and site visits is to target articles directly at the things people are searching for e.g. on Google. The http://keywordtool.io site discovers popular searches based on keywords. I entered "Fedora how to" and here is the list it retrieved for me: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/392172/84893614 While some of the searches are not necessarily good ones for a short, targeted article, many are. I would propose that we use this list to seed article pitches and assign them to new writers, rather than doing just arbitrary technical articles which may not perform as well over the long term. By the way, Rikki mentioned that titling the article just like a search can help boost its visibility as well, e.g. "How to start sshd on Fedora." -- Paul W.
