INFO ON KEYWORD RESEARCH TOOLS

By: Kirt Christensen

There is a tool in Google for keyword research. The "Tools" link is found at the top of the screen in the colored bar. There are options now. If you have a website finished, up and functioning and you don't want to have to begin at the beginning collecting keywords, go to "Site-Related Keywords" and put in the address for one or more pages from that site. Google will then crawl your site searching out relevant keywords for your site.

If you want to use keywords that are variations of the main keywords for your site than you want to click on the "Keyword Variations" tab and enter one of the core keywords. You won't just get variation from Google you will also get a whole boatload of related suggestions if you click on the small box on the right marked "Use Synonyms". The results you get from Google are the results you would hope to get from a top of the line search engine. Quality results!

A portion of the results you will find related; while others you will not want to use. There will be plenty to help with your AdWords mgmt. They will also give you the quantity of traffic the relative terms will produce, but they won't give you the precise number of searches for the terms on Google. For this function go to the "Show Columns" drop menu and choose "Keyword Popularity".

Along with the amount of competitors vying for each keyword shown in the partly shaded rectangle, you will also get the relative amount of searches that each term gets.

Yet another clever feature is "Global search volume trends," a month-by-month graphic of the average searches your term gets.

That is sharp and quite useful in your Adwords management. Overture can't give you the variations that Google gives nor can you the information on your competition from any other free service. It doesn't even cost another dime.

WORDTRACKER

Using Overture's feature to get all of the searched alternatives of the term "learn German", you would get a list of terms where each one included those two words.

1,371 learn to speak german

916 learn german free

598 learn german online free

383 learn to speak german for free

108 learn to speak german online

100 german language learn online

73 learn swiss german

71 learn german software

69 learn german cd

Won't there be people interested in learning German use other phrases?

Undeniably there are. Phrases like "study German" and "study in German" come to my mind (and probably someone else's too.) There is probably somebody just on a whim that will type in "learn Deutsch" or how about "sprechen sie Deutsch".

How are you going to find those other keyword variations? Look at Wordtracker's Wide Search.

Perhaps you are compiling a keyword list for cell phone. If you head to Wordtracker these are the variations they suggest.

mobile phone

nokia

cellphone

cellular phone

ringtones

wireless

sony ericsson

samsung

sanyo

motorola

bluetooth

accessories

If you let loose of the reigns to your imagination, you will find that this list of keywords that you got from Wordtracker can open up new and previously unconsidered markets. After looking at the keyword list and considering the possibilities quite a few people have realized that the market is rich for accessories for Nokiea phones rather than the phones themselves. This is only one example of many. This is the reason you do the research. Don't close yourself to the possibilities.

Wordtracker doesn't try to give you a profitability estimate or projections of cost per click. It is designed to highlight the possible directions that your keywords can take you. Wordtracker does this by

reporting to you the variations that have been searched for in the last 60 days, and

advising you of the number of searches each term has had by Dogpile and Metacrawler.

You'll notice, of course, that other than including plurals along with singulars, this list doesn't give you any other spelling variations, like "cell" or "cell phone" or "cellular." You'll have to do those separately.
