Make Sense of Huge Keyword Lists with Keyword Niche Tools

A few weeks ago I discovered a very cool tool that helped a lot with my keyword research (especially for finding really easy and cool long-tail keywords). So I decided to go ahead and share it with SEJ readers. The tool is called Keyword Niche Tools and it essentially helps you figure your keyword list out by streamlining the process of retrieving important data for each of your key terms. The huge value of the tool lies in: Running a large list quickly (giving me more time to dig deeper into keyword segments if needed) Quickly spotting open gaps or niches. This information that the tool helps to generate includes: Overall number of search results; InUrl: search results for each term; InTitle: search results for each term. All in all, the process the tool automates is very much like the one I described in this post on competitive research : but it helps make the process fast and smooth for a very affordable price ($19.95 per list). The service claims: Keyword Niche Tools delivers over 4 days* of professional search engine optimization efforts Up to 2,000 (*which stands for up to 500 of keyword terms plus SEO-relevant data retrieved for each of them) search results with one click One use. One Fee. One report. No memberships. No questions. So let’s see the whole process step by step. Step 1: Get a keyword list. This can be any: your current search referrals or the terms generated by your favorite keyword research tool. I am using the list downloaded from my Google Analytics Account. Step 2: Go to the keyword tool , click “Order now!” Step 3: Copy-paste your keyword list and provide some extra information (to create an account and pay) Only one thing that makes the process a bit longer. I wish there were PayPal option so that I didn’t have to provide my full billing information. Step 4: You are almost done! Just sit back and wait. Step 5: Once ready, the list will be sent to you via email: Why wait? The service has a very helpful (and sometimes funny) FAQ section that explains that question: Why email me later? Just let me see the report right now! We appreciate your business. Please appreciate we are running up to 2,000 search term queries for you as fast as we can. We could have created this to show you a small hour glass turning over and over for 15 minutes but decided to serve your order when it was done and not require you to watch the stove while it cooks. So here you go. Now just play with your Excel sorting options to find the best terms for you and start creating content! My verdict? A very simple but useful tool that does its job exactly as advertised. It may save you a bunch of time and help you find really cool key terms. Contest! The tool developers were awesome enough to offer some fun contest to our readers. Here are the details. Since the tool is great for finding cool keywords that are easy to rank for, give this tool a try and in the comments section share your best word you were able to find. Rules? You should be a customer (try the tool at least once); No porn or questionable terms Legitimate keyword terms. (no: sytwpx like terms) Top 10 customers of Keyword Niche Tools that submit the best, shortest, lowest competitive term (“keyword term in quotes”) win a Free 500 term run . There will also be Top Testimonials page created with winning keyword anchor text to the winners’ web site link. Free list and a high quality link. So let’s give it a try, shall we?

Although Google has already stopped supporting its Notebooks service, those who did not delete their accounts can still use the service and its features. One of Google Notebooks’ feature is the creation of lists of interesting content you found on the web. This feature is now ported into Google’s other online service – Google Bookmarks . Items you add in your Google Bookmarks account are previously for private viewing only. But now, you can create a list containing some of  your Bookmarks’ items and share it with your friends and contacts. According to Google : “We’re working hard to improve Bookmarks and make saving and sharing stuff on the web easier than ever. That’s why we’ve created lists. Like labels, lists let you organize your stuff into categories. But they can do so much more! And to create your Bookmarks list, simply follow these steps: Select the checkbox next to the item(s) you want to add to a list. At the top of the page, under  Bookmarks , click  Copy to list . To add the item(s) to an existing list, click the list name. To add the item(s) to a new list, click  Create a new list and follow the instructions. In addition, the Google System Blog notes that you can easily convert previously created Bookmarks labels to a list. Likewise, those whom you invite to view your list can also add new webpages to it. In short, the  list feature has just transformed the Google Bookmarks service into an online collaborative tool. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal .

See Google Synonyms While You Search (FireFox)

Most of us know (and use) Google’s synonym operator [~term] What it basically does is instructs Google to include more synonyms in the search results and use the bold font for them (Google uses synonyms for generating search results anyway but this operator makes it focus on the synonyms). I mentioned the operator many times to emphasize how useful it might turn for keyword research – the operator comes particularly handy when used before some most generic terms. Besides, you can exclude the base term fro the results and thus focus it on synonyms only; for example [~help -help] search will include: tips, FAQ, tutorial , etc: There’s the way to always see those synonyms while you search Google with Google Semantics FireFox addon. What it basically does is: Grabs your search term, Adds ~ before it and searches Google; Extracts the synonyms Google used in bold; Displays the list before your initial search results. You thus instantly see the list of synonyms right before your search results and can browse further (click any of the synonyms and you’ll be taken to new search results page). Naturally, the tool works best for generic (one-word) search queries because apparently the tool only inserts operator before the first word in the search query phrase: The tool can be easily turned on/off from the navigation menus: More tools to research (Google) synonyms: Keyword Research : Research Synonyms of Any Terms Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal .

Giving your selected content more exposure via featuring it is a good idea because this way: (1) You attract more attention to your best articles (or those that you need more attention for); (2) You allow your best and most important posts to be easier accessed by search engine bots. The three WordPress plugins compared in this post have two things in common: They all allow to select which posts to feature manually (there are other types of plugins that automatically generate the list by the number of comments, amount f traffic, visitors’ preferences, etc; this post doesn’t mention those at all); They are all SEO-friendly (the links to the posts are in HTML and easily accessed by spiders).
