Who Is www.aBellez.com?

Right now, more then ever, I'd say that the hustler spirit is alive and well on Hollywood Blvd. It's like the character, Money Mitch said in one of my favorite gangsta movies, Paid in Full: "This is the stage, if you was here then you was definitely somebody and I was there". That's right, I consider the Blvd to be the stage and with this post I'd like to shine some light on one of my fellow comrades. BELLEZ. This dude is definitely a true hustler, on the block consistently pushing his album and gettin top dolla! Hahah I gotta respect that! Real recognize real so being that we both young bosses with our own independent brands and merchandise, he blessed me with one of his new "my name ring BELLEZ's" T shirts in exchange for one my exclusive flattop head logo T's. We are two soldiers of the same struggle and I strongly encourage y'all to go and support his movement.

How to use SEO keyword Tools?(Google Adwords)

You probably already know what your website is all about, and have a ballpark idea on topics you might want to cover. However, a good idea to find more topics within your niche is to use this tool to find out what words and phrases that people are interested in.

I have been using this tool for a long time and it can really help if your brain freezes up, or if you suffer a writer's block. This is also what I use to find out what you guys are searching the most on Google and how I pick topics to write about.

Go to https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS&__u=8385004488&__c=6720864768

Type keywords related to your website and click “Search” (see picture below)

I typed in “social media” as a keyword for my search and these are some of the topics that came up beneath the search window:

• what is social media
• social media marketing
• social media websites
• social media strategy
• social media sites
• social media jobs
• social media optimization
• social media agency
• ignite social media
• social media webinar
• social media advertising
• social media marketing plan template
• social media events
• social media marketing agencies
• social media for business
• social media seminars
• social media definition
• social media campaign

These are keywords and phrases that users type in on Google when they are searching for information. I'm not saying that you should start typing as a maniac right now, but over time you should be writing an article about each of these keywords/phrases (for your own keywords) to be covered as much as possible in the search engines.
