Whether you are looking for a hot topic to write an article, create a video, or build a PPC campaign around, the Wonder Wheel is a must use tool.  Now there are several Google keyword tools to maximize your selling prowess, but none give as descript a trail as the Wonder Wheel.  I’m talking about a simple bread crumb trail here.  Success with internet marketing keyword discovery comes from understanding where the individual searcher is going or leading to with their search.  This requires being able to drill down from the start of a search to the final destination.  Your success will come from having your presence (article, video, PPC ad) at all points along the path of the search that is congruent with the value you share.  Let me show you how it works.

I’ve provided a live link to follow the instructions step by step for visual reference along an example search.

• To begin, enter a term “Legitimate Homebased Business” in the Google search engine (use the link provided).  This will bring up the organic listings on the topic to the left and paid ads to the right. 
• Just below the search box in the blue colored bar on the left side click on “+Show options”.  On the left hand side of the page a new set of tools appears. 
• Scroll down to the third category called “Standard View”.
• Below that click on the link “Wonder Wheel”.
• An image appears that looks a bit like a spider…legitimate homebased business is the body and the most frequently searched terms following legitimate homebased business are the eight legs (legitimate home based work, home based businesses 2009, profitable home based businesses, etc.)
• From this list of following searches you may ad or eliminate those terms depending on your congruence with the term.  By choosing each term the organic listings will update on the right hand side providing the number of competitive pages on that term.
• Click on those that fit adding and subtracting the terms several layers deep repeating until you feel the topic has covered your purpose.

Be sure to use all the FREE Google tools in combination to provide for best results in your efforts.  I hope this new tool adds to your income producing abilities and success going forward.  For more about me and what I’m doing visit my blog & website.

When it comes to making money on the internet, proper keyword research is essential to making money & getting excellent results. Many of the top names in Article Marketing swear by the Google Keyword Research Search Tool, since its results come from Google itself. I have found Micro Niche Finder to be better than the Google Keyword Research Search Tool, & this review will tell you why.

Micro Niche Finder pulls its data from the same place as the Google Keyword Research Search Tool, but from there MNF seems to outpace the Google Tool by leaps & bounds. I personally have found the monthly search rates from Micro Niche Finder to be more accurate (in my opinion the Google tool’s estimates seem to come in on the high side).

Micro Niche Finder will save you time in performing several important aspects of keyword research. You CAN accomplish these tasks with the Google tool, but it takes a lot longer to do it manually. With Micro Niche Finder you have the following important functions at your fingertips:

• GoogleSearch -The number of total search results in Google
• GoogleExactSearch-The number of exact phrase results with the keyword in quotes
• Clickbank Marketplace-Will show Clickbank products related to your keyword
• Search Search for Affiliate Programs-Will return Google results for affiliate programs related to your keyword
• Amazon Search-Amazon products related to your keyword
• DomainTools Lookup-shows if a domain name is available with the keyword in it; great for getting type in traffic
• EzineArticles Lookup-Will show how many articles are on EzineArticles for the term, no results is a GOOD thing
• AdWord Ads-Will show the AdWords ads for the keyword, great for gauging commercial interest

Just a click of your mouse will give you all this vital information that can take HOURS to do manually if you are using the Google Keyword Research Search Tool.

Another great feature is a Strength Of Competition analyzer that will give you a green check mark for phrases that are poorly optimized & easy to rank for, a yellow caution sign for words that are more optimized & harder to rank for, & a red stop sign for terms that are too competitive.

Micro Niche Finder will also show you what your term costs for an AdWords ad, the monthly search volume, the exact phrase count for your word, & the commercial intent for your term.

How will this tool help you make money & rank well in the search engines? Let’s say that you uncover a long tail keyword you want to use & it has a monthly search volume of 1000 searches. The exact phrase match on Google is under 10,000 competing sites & the strength of competition rating is green with a low number of occurrences in the title, body or anchor text of pages. You check for the number of E-Zine Articles for the term & Google politely informs you that no results are found. What does this mean for you?

It means that if you write an article for E-Zine Articles with the phrase in the title, 2 or 3 times in the body, & used as anchor text in the resource box, you can be certain to show up on the first page of Google, where 1000 people a month are going to see your article on the 1st page of Google. WordPress blogs work well for this too, & you can check for the number of times it shows up on other high PR article sites & Web 2.0 properties.

Just think how nice it would be to know every time you write an article or blog post that it was going to rank well on Google & get repeat traffic BEFORE you wrote it. Micro Niche Finder can help you do that. Which is why in my opinion it is BETTER than the Google Keyword Research Search Tool.

The news site has twenty five categories, allowing an individual to select news based on his own interest. All news categories come with its own news feed.

A news feed is a format that allows readers to pull content from the site. Whenever a news article has been published, the reader gets to see the headlines in an RSS reader immediately. He may then decide whether he wants to continue reading the rest of the news article.

Using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format, other related websites can also publish headlines on their sites without having to upload any information. The RSS URL is loaded into a script, which then displays the headlines in the user friendly HTML format. Using feeds, websites can pull and publish the latest breaking news from the original news site.

To ensure that publishers are able to publish relevant content, the news site has also incorporated a keyword based RSS feed. A keyword based feed allows the publisher to generate any feed based on keywords. For example, if a publisher wants to publish information on political issues, he may choose to use keywords such as “politics” or “public opinions”. When a keyword based feed is generated, only articles with those keywords in them will appear in the RSS feed.

The source of news comes from in-house writers, small and medium sized businesses, home business owners, as well as large organizations. When they issue press releases or publish articles on their companies and/or products and services, these articles appear on the news sites.

Readers can make full use of the information to help them spot business trends, keep up to date with the latest technology trends, and more.

The content is provided free of charge, and no registration is required to view the news releases. No fees are charged for accessing the content.

The content mainly consists of how to articles, general information articles, industry related articles, and press releases. Many articles also contain useful hints and tips on how to overcome specific problems. These articles are provided by industry experts, and they have some valuable advice that they want to share with the Internet community.

For instance, if you are looking for home improvement advice, you can easily find expert advice on this topic. You can find furniture recommendations, tips on how to maintain your flooring, redecorating advice, and so on.

To access the content, simply visit the website or subscribe to the RSS feed. You will need a web-based or desktop RSS feed reader to subscribe to the feed. To date, Google news reader and Yahoo news reader have been the most popular applications on the Internet. As long as the individual has an active user name, they can sign up for these services and start subscribing to feeds immediately.

Rigid, unchanging procedures threaten any business activity. With Internet-enabled and -related enterprises, keeping up with technological progress is absolutely essential to survival. As opposed to static (unchanging) websites that are not looking to strengthen or increase their industry share, any dynamic (changing) website will have new copy, even new strategies, on an ongoing basis. Regular, extensive, ongoing keyword research is not a luxury, but a basic survival tactic.

Understanding how people actually use words, and the relationships these words have in the context of an Internet search, is key to threading these words and phrases through the fabric of your site. Because the Internet is so very dynamic, with word relationships changing seemingly by the minute, this is a huge and growing challenge for more and more people and companies. After all, the Internet is growing into the major commercial and communication hub of the world. Accurate and useful keyword suggestion tools – and their intelligent implantation into business and marketing strategy, are a major part of the solution.

There are a plethora of keyword suggestion tools available, from free to cost-based, including NicheBot, Wordtracker, KeywordDiscovery, SEOBook, and the various Google keyword tools. In this two-part article, we will consider these tools and the differences among them. Part one will cover the first three on the list, while part two will cover the Google tools and SEOBook’s Keyword Suggestion Tool.

Most importantly, perhaps, these tools help you estimate the relative (rather than absolute) size of the search referral “market” produced by particular words and phrases. You will develop a better understanding of what terms appear how often in search queries, and what other terms are correlated with them, and how many times they are searched compared to those other terms. The analytics you develop with the tools will also give you a good idea of how their suggestions will fare, and provide a means of understanding “competition levels” for specific words and phrases.

Naturally, there are differences both large and small among these keyword analysis/suggestion tools. Google, of course, compiles its tool data from its own search network of sites and offers tremendous functionality at low or no cost. The subscription-based services, such as Wordtracker and KeywordDiscovery, take advantage of databases of multiple sites and data that can be assembled, broken down, repurposed and presented in myriad ways.

Specific tool functionality
Wordtracker aggregates its keyword data from the leading meta search engines, primarily Dogpile but with input from MetaCrawler and others. In Wordtracker’s attempts to mine keyword gold, it will discover how many times a certain term or phrase shows up in its database of over 316 million words. This is quite a trick in itself, as English (according to linguists) has between 600,000 and two million words, depending upon how we define a “word.” It is clear that Wordtracker leaves no permutation or word-form uncounted, which is a distinct benefit.

Wordtracker’s brain trust asserts that metacrawlers process the queries of the leading search engines with some precision, and that the software robots that continuously check site rankings and such do not interfere with the count. In a different approach, KeywordDiscovery relies on its global “premium database” of some 4.5 billion searches based solely on user data, thus diminishing the distortions inherent in some other strategies.

If you are considering which tool to use, you can still get free trials of most tools, except that you usually need to provide contact information, with phone numbers and e-mail addresses required. There are few ways to use and compare the tools anonymously, so the next best approach is “meta-analysis,” in which we look at various published third-party reports on the actual use of these tools.

In a study published last year, one technology writer performed keyword forecasts for “dog food” with KeywordDiscovery, Wordtracker and several other programs. Despite using different original data sets, all of these tools try to supply reliable estimates of the available search referral traffic without “data inflation.” There are numerous ways to analyze and present the results.

On average, KeywordDiscovery predicted there would be some 1,088 searches for “dog food” daily, while Wordtracker calculated the probable search referral market for “dog food” to be about double that. KeywordDiscovery does have a unique and quite useful algorithm that considers “seasonality” in its results, letting you review the seasonality of terms historically, as monthly estimates or even as a component of annual trends. Search engine market share is developed, as well.

KeywordDiscovery and Wordtracker results can both be repurposed to estimate just Google referral traffic or that of any other major engine. In the tech columnist’s example, the Wordtracker daily estimate for Google’s “dog food” search was 1,043, or almost half of all the “Daily Prediction” information. KeywordDiscovery had Google accounting for 67 percent of its “Average Daily” results, thus suggesting that 738 “dog food” searches would be made in Google every day.

Perhaps this does not seem to be much of an absolute difference, but when considered over a 30-day period, the difference scaled up considerably in this particular test. KeywordDiscovery estimated some 22,000+ “dog food” searches that month, but Wordtracker projected over 31,000 “dog food” searches for that same period.

A ‘niche’ player
Nichebot came on the scene with some degree of fanfare. It is a complex program, with a tightly specified methodology that lacks flexibility in some important ways. On the other hand, it gathers data from more sources than Wordtracker  – leveraging the results from KeywordDiscovery and Google – and provides a great selection of explanatory videos, instructive screenshots and excellent “Help” functions.

However, Nichebot recommends a five-step system, which can be time-consuming and confusing, even for veterans. There are, of course, some free “quick-dig” tools, including, oddly enough, Wordtracker and its thesaurus. While it is free to search Wordtracker via Nichebot, you get only basic counts, and must pay for a premium search if you wish to see competition data and the Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI).

You can dig a bit “deeper” without additional cost by clicking on a term or phrase in the results, which provides a list of associated phrases. One savvy forum poster declared that the primary purpose for using Nichebot is “to find as many keywords from multiple sources to cover as much territory for the maximum traffic for your website.” In practice, he explained, one can start “from a broad search and just keep refining, merging, narrowing in.”

The proliferation of “niche” tools and functions would seem to be a sensible development given Nichebot’s name, but the added functionality comes at a price. For instance, you can get the addresses of the sites that have the greatest number of backlinks for a particular term, but the learning curve involved with this program makes the more arcane data difficult to develop.

Generally speaking, Nichebot results are excellent, and it allows better organization of projects and searches via its folder hierarchy. Further, the program checks your site for keyword density “red flags” that Google may note (and disapprove of). As premium search charges kick in a bit early compared to others, the question for users has to be, Do the premium charges return enough value to offset the time and money spent to obtain it?

Time and tide
While meta-analysis of user comments at a random selection of forums discloses that they don’t find Nichebot particularly intuitive, it is considered an impressive software achievement.

Even its appearance gives Nichebot the impression that using it takes time and discipline.  While KeywordDiscovery and Wordtracker can be used in a stream-of-consciousness manner at times, Nichebot does not lend itself to brainstorming or “fluid” search styles. This is a direct result, of course, of its having the power it does. Despite that power, it does have a number of anomalies that are commonly reported. For one thing, it applies its vaunted “Jackpot” rating to keywords for which it finds no competition, even if that is the case because of error or anomaly.

Finally, a number of users report that advanced searches can get stuck in a “holding pattern” (in a queue) and take from 15-20 minutes to generate results. With the tide of the Internet forever washing new waves onto the shore, time is of the essence.  Even though advanced keyword research searches can return valuable data, it is no stretch to say that many marketers might consider 20 minutes per keyword tool inquiry to be a barrier to frequent or consistent use.

Rating the tools
Wordtracker is easier to use for most people, but the possibilities are certainly expanded with Nichebot. Doing random or unassociated searches “by the seat of your pants” is among Wordtracker’s great strengths, but Nichebot works well to focus your work and helps you take a step-by-step, measured approach. It can be said that Nichebot can not only return search terms and numbers, but can actually sub as your defacto keyword research process.  As one user commented at a KEI forum, Nichebot “takes a lot of the guesswork out [but] getting there is somewhat painful.”

KeywordDiscovery’s “9-in-1 tool” approach (check their site, it’s even divided up this way) is popular with many users. It goes some 10,000 keywords deep and the more you pay the deeper you can go. Nichebot does provide more information, but it has that steep learning curve and much harder to learn than the more “friendly” Wordtracker and KeywordDiscovery.

What works best for you will most likely be a product of trial and error – and for many will be a combination of the tools. Because you have to give up more and more personal data to get the “free trials,” however, you may want to let other people’s fingers “do the walking” and continue to do meta-analyses of others’ results. Thee is a lot of wisdom to be gleaned from multiple opinions, yet there is nothing like running your own research your own way.  Trust the judgment of tech columnists and meta-analysts, or acquiesce to giving up some personal information to see for yourself.

Remember, because of the many search engines and the multitudes of sources the keyword tools get their numbers from, all of the results are relative. For starters, check out the most important, relevant and highly “trafficked” keywords and terms already associated with your site’s content. As we move to Part Two and consider the Google tools and SEOBook’s program, don’t forget that ongoing study, research and testing are the most fruitful ways to stay abreast of an ever-changing universe of words – and all their relatives, too.

The 800-Pound Gorilla and the New Kid on the Block: Google and SEOBook

In our last article covering the similarities, differences, and uses of the most commonly used keyword suggestion tools  we focused on comparing the usage, operation models, and results of Wordtracker, KeywordDiscovery, and NicheBot.  For Part Two we will be covering the tools Google brings to the table and SEOBook’s Keyword Suggestion Tool.

Google rising
With the way the company has exploded in the last decade, especially over the last five years or so, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Google was taking over the world, not just the Internet. The fact is, they are growing, changing, expanding and refining all of their diverse operations with such velocity that some bloggers and “industry analysts” make a full-time out of tracking Google.

They track Google while Google tracks everything net-related, so you can avail yourself of some of Google’s powerful tools. Some are free, some used to be free – like its Adwords API (Application Programming Interface) – and others cost you in various ways, from money to time to learning curves. But there is no way to do your work, if you work in web marketing, without the Google tools.

The basic Google tools
Google Suggest is good place to start accumulating your list of words and phrases to be researched. It is a fast (some would say “quick and dirty”) way of identifying common word combinations and how many pages are relevant to them.  When you start typing your search into Google’s search box, a dropdown box opens listing terms that start with those letters and the number of pages that would come up in a search for each term.  What this basically gives you is a very quick way to get a snapshot of related terms and their relative competitive landscape.

If you were to type in “fly,” Google Suggest would potentially give you such extrapolations as “fly fishing” or “fly larvae,” taking you off on your chosen tangent. Typing in parts of words, like “prob,” might show extrapolations such as “probation,” “probability,” “problem child,” or “probono.” This tool is particularly helpful in building out your first keyword lists, letting you then focus on terms you deem most worthy of further research.

Google Trends lets you assess the popularity of particular terms and phrases against one other, and even supplies a history of the “most searched” terms from 2004 through the present. The particular search terms’ popularity is expressed as a proportion of the total search volume, which is calculated for different regions of the world, even in a variety of languages.

You can also compare the volume of searches among multiple terms, and can display news associated with search terms on charts displaying the effect of the news on term popularity and presence. This can help you make snap decisions about whether to concentrate on one set of keywords or some other. If you want to get a handle on how searches are affected by regional anomalies and external factors, this is a good tool for that.

Google AdWords Keyword Tool
Until late 2006 the features in the AdWords tool kit were free. Then Google began to charge for the API portion of the tool, with a 25-per-thousand fee that sounded low until big users started adding it up. The controversy has abated greatly, but it did leave a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.

Google responded with a free External Tool outside of AdWords for those that desired keyword help but did not have an AdWords account.  It was truly a tool that suggested keywords only, returning a great number of keywords related to the term you entered but offering no search quantity numbers to show how often people actually searched for each term daily or monthly.

More recently Google added the search metrics that a lot of marketers and business owners have been craving.  Their External Tool now shows how many times the keywords you are researching were searched last month on Google related properties, as well as a twelve-month average for the terms.  It also features a measurement that shows you the advertiser competition for each.

For AdWords accounts holders the AdWords Keyword Tool is tightly “Google integrated” of course, and not only helps you estimate your AdWords campaign cost but provides information on the competition levels among your chosen, targeted keywords and terms.

The AdWords Traffic Estimator is another tool that can provide data on total potential clicks for each ad, each day, for each keyword, but they are merely approximates.  It also estimates potential cost so you have an idea what your daily spend would be for those terms.  For natural search research it is helpful in compiling an initial list for further, detailed research, which is the point at which you would bring other keyword analytics tools into the process.

As with all of the free and fee-based tools, they are best seen as an “information buffet,” a range of tools and tests from which you can assemble the best toolkit for your particular project. Your needs may change from one task to the next, from one product to the next, so you need the greatest amount of flexibility you can get. Some people are now saying that SEOBook’s Keyword Suggestion Tool is the best “anchor program” on which to hang other specialized tools.

The up-and-comer
SEO industry stalwart Aaron Wall developed the Keyword Suggestion Tool for SEOBook, and it is popular for not reinventing the wheel, essentially. That is, it aggregates the most successful and effective suggestion tools on the Internet –Google tools, the “visual tool” Quintura (with its “word clouds”), Wordtracker and even Yahoo metrics, back when there were some.

Its proponents say that SEOBook’s tool is the right one for anyone, any time, because of its components. By combining results, it does save time, but some professional traffic mongers prefer to set the tools against each other for comparison, rather than aggregation, purposes.

Still, features of the tool are legion. It can estimate certain keyword traffic in Google, Yahoo and MSN independently, or add it together for average total daily traffic. It links up to the Google Trends data for the targeted keyword(s) and employs the Google Traffic Estimator to determine the daily cost for advertising the subject terms.

The SEOBook tool also allows you to get an idea of your competitors’ numbers by interfacing with Google, Wordtracker and the UK’s Overture. It also makes use of the GoRank SEO Tools and Ontology Finder, and checks the top 1000 Google results for your terms by running queries on related words. It would be a good idea to look at GoRank’s new link popularity analyzer, which is just now being made ready for beta testing (as of September 20). It’s completely free and supports up to 30 backlinks. Once beta testing is complete, it will have the capability to analyze up to 1000 backlinks.

At the bottom of the SEOBook Keyword Suggestion Tool page is a list of potential searches you can perform on a “vertical database” – for news, blogs, directories, tags, thesauruses, dictionaries, encyclopedias, classified ad listings, audio, video, competitive, groups and other tangents.

Who, what, how and why
There are still differences among keyword analysis tools and keyword suggestion tool, but as they continue to aggregate each others’ functions and link to various other third-party programs, there is bound to be some “convergence.” There is a great deal of “shakeout” still to come in this sector, and following Yahoo’s almost-ignominious retreat from this arena the winnowing process would appear to be gaining some momentum.

Using any or all of the available suggestion tools can be a very nerve-wracking experience. There is always the chance that you will start taking the results and suggestions as gospel, and making sweeping changes based on data that changes by the nanosecond. It takes patience to make these tools perform their best, and there is no substitute for the human brain. It is the ultimate analytical tool.

Whatever tools you use, in whatever manner, it is wise to maintain a healthy skepticism about the results. Various industry analysts have run tests that show a wide discrepancy between what some of the tools report, and what they actually do. This is not to say there is misrepresentation (sometimes called “lying”) going on. It is more a function of the transient nature of knowledge and the rapid turnover of data sets in Internet-related enterprises. Use the tools, certainly, but use your head, primarily.

In Fact, we should pay tribute to the google, the way they are bringing the entrepreneurs and customer together, from all the corners of the world. Today, you can sell virtually sell any thing from U.S.A to Australia both countries, being poles apart.

That is the power of internet and Google is playing a pivotal role in it. Let us, examine how keyword google tool, is aiding entrepreneur’s marketing effort both online and offline. Let us the take the example of Keyword search” lower back ache”

At the time of writing this article, it had 8100 searches on an average in Sep-09. Now analysing this keyword we find:

a)      There are people could be suffering from lower back ache

b)      There are people who want to get to rid of lower back ache.

c)      There are people who want to know the causes of back ache

d)     There are people who could be looking out for the product or services offering to get rid of lower back ache.

e)      There are advertisers or competitions who want to see the potential of lower back ache market.

These are some of the broad inferences you could draw from a keyword google research tool.

However, the major point is that, these searches represent people who are surfing net, so what about the people who are offline. There is a great market to be tapped in. So, what you do, is multiply the number of searches by 100, to get the feel of targeted market. In this case, it could be 8100,100. This number is extremely conservative.

See the power of Keyword google tool. As for the website owners, please understand that number of searches does not amount to traffic. Normally 1% to 15% of searches go to the respective website.

Such is the power of this amazing tool, it can tell you whether your product or service has enough demand or not. The easy way to find this is by looking at the advertiser competition bar in the keyword google tool.
