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.

Option two is for you, if you want to connect to people with keywords that aren't obvious to your site. To use this tool, select "Keyword Variations" and enter one of your main keywords. You won't just get variation to that keyword, if you check the little box on the right labeled, "Use Synonyms", Google will also give you a list of suggestions that are related to your topic. The result that you get from Google will be just what you would expect form a world-class search engine. Good stuff!

Some of the results you will just want to get rid of. The best portion will be helpful to you in your management of your Adwords. Google won't give you the number of searches for your related keyword terms, but they do offer to display for you the amount of traffic they may generate. You can choose this option by selecting the dropdown on "Show Columns" and choosing "Keyword Popularity".

The partly shaded bars tell you how much competition there is on each keyword, along with the comparative amount of searches each word receives.

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

Very clever, and very helpful in Google AdWords management. You get variations that Overture couldn't give you and information about your competition that you can't get from any other free service. And it doesn't cost you a penny extra.

ON 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

But aren't there people who want to learn German who don't use that exact phrase?

Sure are. There's
also "study German" and even "study in Germany," not to mention the occasional guy who on a lark types in "learn Deutsch" or even "sprechen sie Deutsch."

How will we know what other keyword possibilities are out there? Wordtracker's Wide Search is the answer.

Let's say now that you're bidding on keywords for cell phones. Go to Wordtracker, and you'll get these suggested variations:

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 is not designed to give you click costs or profitability estimates. It's made to alert you to all of the possible directions you can take with your keywords. It does this by

showing you all the variations people have typed in over the last 60 days, and

disclosing to you the number of searches your terms have gotten through Metacrawler and Dogpile.

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.
