If your community or town is small, I would probably look at the county you are in as a whole. If you check Google for search terms related to your area, I'm betting that the highest searched terms are for variations of your city and county. For example, in Google there are 3200 searches per month for Bakersfield, Kansas. 2500 searches for Bakersfield, KS. 5700 searches for Bakersfield County, KS. Based on this, I would make my hyperlocal blog with a county-wide focus. I would call it BakersfieldCountyScoop.com. When I wrote my articles, I would use keyword search terms in my articles to capture traffic from the other variations that folks are searching. Starting out I would only focus on about 4 keyword variations and that's all. In your natural writing about your community, you will start ranking for tons of terms related to all aspects of your city and county. Your entire county will soon be the focus on your hyperlocal blog. @Lawrence I don’t think there is a good answer for that question.

That brings up a good question. What is the ideal size city or town for a local blog? I see your community is quite small, but I assume it is part of a relatively large area. After all, it takes some people to support an Ikea store. A large city within driving distance will be desirable for my wife and I. I like to be near a large city, but I like to be out a ways, when possible. In any event, I wonder if a city like Wichita might be too large a place to start a local blog.

It's a funny coincidence that I just used Kansas randomly when I wrote the article about keeping your full time job. I have no idea if there is a Bakersfield, Kansas however. There are some long, long stretches of highway in Kansas. I drove across the state in 2003 on my way to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. I remember driving for miles through green fields and not even seeing a sign for miles and miles. A beautiful state. @medic Hopefully I can steer you in the right direction for what works for me.
