Are you double checking your keyword research with Google?

by 33 Comments

Welcome to another white hot version of The Keyword Informer.

The title of this article begs the reader to ask whether they are double checking to see if there are any missing keyword phrases that may be heavily searched on Google against other keyword sources (databases) currently available.

This is one of the major reasons that NicheBOT provides multiple keyword databases so that our members are making sure not to miss any obvious wholes in their keyword research with keyword phrases that can bring in extra traffic.

My motto is… “Grab all the website traffic that you can!” So…

If you’re not double checking with Google, then you may be missing out on some crucial key terms for your site content or the keyword phrases used in the links pointing into your site.

Given the size of Google’s keyword database, you should even double check the data you acquire from other keyword sources to verify a keyword’s true popularity. We’ve already discussed that most database sources are so minute and microscopic, they only amount to 1%-2% at best of the overall data available.

    Jim…dude!

    You overlooked the coolest part of Google trends. If you happen to KNOW how many visitors a particular website gets if it’s sitting at #1 or #2, then you can ESTIMATE the traffic of the other keywords showing on Google trends. Its almost as if the graph lines had solid numbers attached.

    Giving away my “secret” keyword….with “Diabetes Type 2″ a website gets about 600 visitors a day at #1. So you can “Google Trend” and compare your keyword with “Diabetes Type 2″.

    Good into Jim. But help me out here…WHERE are we supposed to use all these laboriously collected keywords? I just started monetizing my website with google ads and didn;t see a single place to enter keywords. Apparently I can only enter a few in my Meta Tags….is this the only place I can manage my keywords? Or do I have to set up a PPC campaign to use all these keywords I’ve researched?

    Killer info as always, Jim!

    As a NB user, I was aware of much of this, but the coming enhancements are great news as well!

    Keep up the good work, my man.

    This is one of the most amazing tools that keeps getting better and more sophisticated. Is there an end to how far you’re willing to take NicheBot :)

    You’re simply amazing.
    btw, there was a post where someone stated that he can make a full time income with nothing else than a computer and NicheBot! Can you find that person, interview him and tell us how he’d do it?

    Great Stuff Jim!
    Where can I go to get a question answered? I need to build many websites 5-6 pages.
    Are subdomains OK for SEO using a Generic main domain name?

    Hi Jim fellow Nichbot fans … great info yet again thanks mate … seems like you just can’t go wrong with keyword research … one tactic that could easily be over looked when researching trends is Video … have you noticed what tag words lead a video into the dizzy numbers some achieve is it not that important than the content or are they as important?? … also you know how fast the web moves on and especially Video marketing well here’s a link you might not have come across to a Video system that’s just hit the internet waves … guess what you don’t even need your own Videos to succeed in sharing income from some other persons Videos Make money every time you share a video on your blog, website or social networking profile. Sound good to you? It’s easy to do! Our clever technology matches relevant, in-video text ads to any video. Whenever someone clicks on an ad in your video, you make half the cash!

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for the informative post! LSI and Theming is setting the amateurs apart from the Pro’s.
    Any news on Microsofts’ New Keyword tool? :-) Won’t it be cool to have it integrated in Nichebot?

    Great post.

    I just noticed that the reports from keyword took, when viewed in exell… show 14 increments, versus previously where it showed only 1-5, 5 increments. That’s BIG!

    eg. 1.0 is 100% search volume, .93… .86….

    That’s pretty damn good.

    always refreshing to read your articles. you give a lot of helpful information for all of us to learn from.

    thanks a bunch!

    Jim or anyone — I am not exactly clear about the difference between the Google keyword cruncher and the 1-click LSI tool. What do they do differently from each other and when would you use each one? Would you use both?

    TIA!

    Jim, as always I look to you and Nichebot to point the way. There are to many self proclaimed Gurus out there who just do not have the full picture or the inability to shed the complete light on the important subjecttter of “Key Word Resaerch”

    Thanks for keeping all of us well informed!

    Hmmm—Jim you really blow my mind with this post. At first, some months ago, I believe Google and was using the free version, but merely as ‘one among the lots’ because I much more depended on WordTracker.

    You know, there are many gurus who’ll tell you WordTracker is the best and industry standard and bla blab la :)
    Over time, I gathered many keywords for SEO I initially thought were great, but later find out they were less than I depended on them.

    In order words, I was really guilty of this question you posed, “But if one keyword database indicates that a keyword phrase is the most popular in the market when Google indicates that the traffic is rather low and you pour all your efforts into that keyword phrase, you may wind up being sorely disappointed.”

    Thanks Jim for waking me up to know who to trust more. No just today, but in coming months, perhaps in years. In addition, you make me feel I’d been cheating myself I didn’t join Nichebot when I first heard about it.

    Jim,

    Your tools are amazing! I work a lot with the Google External Keyword Tool. Even though it is slightly better than you wrote (you have to enter a captcha once per session, not every time you do a search), but you only get 150 results per search, not 200, and it IS frustrating.

    An ability to gather up to 15,000 keywords from one single root keyword phrase is a great time saver!

    Thank you,

    Andrei

    The Google trends tool is pretty handy. Most research tools are like driving by looking in the rear view mirror, where you end up targetting the things that were popular, not those that will be. Great addition.

    Thank you for your great information on keyword phrases and where we should put them. I’ve heard much of it before but it is nice to have a refresher.

    Hi Jim
    I happened to find you for more than a week now. Information on this web site is priceless but majority of the content is totally new and some too technical. However, I must admit I sense it perfect and now trying to know why through going around your site.
    I definitely need to do my keyword research but perhaps need to know more prior to buying.
    Please keep me inform as I sense a goldmine here.

    Hey Jim & you guys above … great reading excellent thread … the internet is like a great big information note book and the pages keep turning every day “even if we don’t want it too” … with better information that most folks who dip into this book every day trying to solve there current wishes to find the latest greatest secret to wealth and prosperity and usually miss the point of the greatest secret is … ACTION … by taking ACTION on information learned comes out as knowledge learned so success can turn to WISDOM once that knowledge is implemented with strategies to the desired outcome …

    Remembering that old saying by Benjamin Franklin “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different Results” I for one didn’t understand the saying the first time I heard it, so it wasn’t effective on me as it was intended to be. But I expect if my more successful friends keep quoting it, and quoting it, and quoting it, eventually, I might catch on and find the Truth that Lies Deep Within this Wise Saying.

    All my best to you and your Research vs. Keyword-Tactics

    Hi Jim. I’m Andrew Blachut from PropertyNow in Australia and I’m your latest devotee. At least I am sure I will be soon, as I just signed up with you for the first time today.

    I had thought about using your tool many times but always felt a little overwhelmed at how much good stuff you provide.

    Anyway after getting great seo results in my real estate private sale niche over the past year we suddenly went gangbusters with an overnight , come from the clouds position 3 on google for “real estate”

    Because of this sudden rise,I figured I had better understand more about what was happening to us. I’m particularly intrigued by the prospect of getting good regional results for search volume in Australia.

    My intial research would suggest that the phrase real estate gets about 1,000 searches a day in Australia and about 12,000 a day worldwide. I read your intro about how even Googles results are estimates but would one then double these figures to get an overall traffic estimate across all engines?

    I do realise the inherent error in doubling a figure that is only an estimate to begin with but what else would one do?

    Also is Keyword Discovery the best tool for me to get regional results for search volime in Australia?

    Great post Jim!
    Keep up posting wonderful posts like this one.
    Also, Chuck, thanks for your valuable remark.

  • http://mrooh.com Dan

    I am also curious as to “what to do” with all this keyword research. I don’t know how many it is practical to squeeze into one article or page and how many to put in the meta data for a page.
