Want to go back in time and read those famous tweets that were indexed by Google? Well, actually Google did not just index those tweets, it has in fact archived them and are now giving you the chance to read those tweets again via Google search. So, starting today, you can now zoom in to any point in time and replay what people have posted on Twitter about various topics that hit the headlines at some point in time.  This will be featured on the “Show Options” on Google search results page. Once you’ve click this option, you will have to select “Updates.” Once you’ve selected that, Google will then display the all familiar latest and greatest Twitter updates that it has indexed. On top of those tweets is a new chart showing year, month or day categories.  You can then select any particular point in that calendar and Google will display the tweets that were posted during that period. What’s cool about that chart is that it also gives you the relative volume of tweet on a particular subject on a specific date. This is particularly  useful if you want to review what has happened in the past and how people on Twitter reacted to those events. This replay feature will be gradually roll out globally in the coming days. In the meantime, if you want to try it out, Google provided this special link .

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?

At the ongoing SES event in New York, Bing is reporting about new features that are being prepared for launch this coming Spring. These three new features have something to do with new interface design, enhancement on real-time search data and visualization of localized information. To push its vision in making Bing as a vital assistant for online decision-making, Microsoft will be rolling out a lighter, cleaner presentation of search results that will highlight key actions. More particularly the Quick Tabs feature will be relocated to the top of the page to provide one-click access to search results pages. Next, as a follow up to its integration with Twitter, Bing will be testing new experiences for real-time results. Bing will not only provide links to the specific information but shared links from those information as well. And of course, to answer the call of the times, Bing is also rolling out visualization feature of search results through Bing’s Map Apps. And to make this feature even more exciting, Bing is experimenting on a real-time data feature that ties up with Foursquare. Bing will be utilizing data annotated by Foursquare members. This will be useful for finding out best places as experienced by Foursquare users. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal . Bing to Roll Out Three New Features this

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 .
