So, we all know that the key to making money with adsense is figuring out some killer keywords that are easy to rank with. But just how do you build up a killer keyword list that will earn you income online? Get it straight from the horses mouth.
This was originally posted on a blog I read regularly SEO Scientist:
- Google Sets - get it straight from the horse’s mouth. Google’s Labs project may tell you what are the keyphrases related to your niche.
- Google tilda (~) search operator - this one is great for single word queries. It performs the search on all the related terms to your query (and marks them bold in your SERPs). For example, performing a [~SAP] query will give the following list of related keywords: CRM, ERP, ABAP, supply chain, mysap, supply chain management, CIO, peoplesoft, enterprise resource planning, business application programming, etc. Then you can perform a tilda search for each of the related phrases you got and filter out with the (-) operator all the phrases that you already have. You can end up with quite a large list of phrases which may not all sound relevant to your niche, but hey, Google deems them semantically related, so who are you to argue ?
- Yahoo suggestion tool - just below the Yahoo search box, there is an expandable section called Search Assist. It has two areas: Suggestions, which will give you all the phrases that include the phrase that you searched and Explore Concepts which is the list you are looking for and will give you related phrases to your search query. It can go really wide so apply some common sense. On the other hand, going really wide may be just what you need.
- Ask suggestion tool - perform a query on Ask and on the left hand side you will see again two main areas: “Narrow Your Search” which will give you all the queries that include your keyword and “Expand Your Search” that will give you all the queries that do not include your keyword but are related to your keyword.
- Google Adwords Keyword Tool - you can use the experience that the hordes of PPC marketers have accumulated to your linking benefits. While not being so great at predicting the amount of traffic/impressions/clicks/search volume your ad will get, it can tell you what are the keywords that the publishers in your niche are using, which should be what they think their customers are using. While they may be wrong on guessing their potential customers’ intentions, they are usually good with defining the semantic field of every niche.
So there you go. If you are trying to build up a killer keyword list to target for your article marketing and adsense sites, this is the best free way to get it done.
