What tools do you use to do your keyword research?
Any tips and tricks to speed up the process?
Any tips and tricks to speed up the process?
This is basically what I do :
1. My niche sources ideas :
- General niche - Go to ehow.com or ezinearticles and find some article you feel interesting
- entertaining niche (music, photoshop, fun, hot girls, etc.) - Go to youtube. people go there for fun so you can steal the ideas by looking at the most popular videos
- health niche - Go to health.com and pay attention to TOP HEADLINE
- product review - amazon are best !
2. Keyword Research
- I prefer google adwords keyword tool. It's faster than MS.
- I will then collects keywords I see have potential (exact search = 1000 ++ ) and import it to Market Research for further research
- Set SEOT > 50 , Competition < 60000 .
Note : You may want to grab some long tail keyword for your articles. (My setting : SEOT > 5 , Competition < 20000)
- Look for SEO competition and if I feel I can take them down, then I will register domain based on that keyword.
For those using Google Keyword Tool, what are your exact #'s? Most people say anywhere from 1K to 10K is good. Do you do the same for your keywords?
Am I the only one who doesn't really like Market Samurai? I think it's way too slow for what it does, and on top of that, the keyword data it pulls is right from the Google Keyword Tool so why not just use that?
I personally just use the Google Keyword Tool to find my keyword (I like to target 1k or more searches per month on Exact match) and then I do a regular Google search for the keyword and gauge the first page competition using SEO Quake.
I don't do any of that searching "in quotes" shi* where I only look for the amount of results to be under a certain number. All I care about is the 1st page - nothing else matters except page 1 because that's where you want to land.
I've found my method to be much more efficient and quicker than using Market Samurai, but do whatever works best for you.
