Less Effort, More Keywords and Better SEO

by Brian Terry

Just recently I discovered a very powerful way of generating huge lists of high quality keyword phrases that helps you to get more targeted traffic to your websites and blogs.

Watch the video below and I’ll show you how it works…

If you prefer step-by-step screen shots this is just for you…

Here’s all you do:

Step 1: Go to this page here where you’ll find the Google AdWords keyword tool.

Step 2: Type in your chosen keyword phrase in the box provided and enter the captcha code you’ll also see there.

Step 3: Press the “Get Keyword Ideas” button then Google will deliver to you all the related keyword phrases it can find based on what people are searching for.

Step 4: Scroll down the page and add those keyword phrases you think will work well for you based on the search volume indicators Google gives you in the charts you see on the results page.

The keywords you add will then appear on the right side on the page (these are ready for downloading later on).

Step 5: Now here comes the twist because what we’re going to do is use Google’s Keyword Tool to search the actual results pages to generate even more keyword phrases.

Create a new browser window or tab then go to Google.com and type in the same keyword search phrase you used before, then press the “search” button to get Google’s search results…

Step 6: Next you need to copy the url for the search page to your clipboard of your computer. This is usually done by pressing the “ctrl + “c” keys on your keyboard if you’re using a PC, on a Mac press “cmd” + “c” to copy the url of the search results page.

Step 7: Then we go back to the Google AdWords Tool.

Just select the button on the far left hand side of the page called: “Website content”. This then gives you a box to add a url to. Place your cursor in the url box then paste the Google search results page url by pressing the “ctrl” + “v” keys on your keyboard (or “cmd” + “v” on a Mac).

Once you’ve pasted the search results page url into the box press the “Get keyword ideas” button. This will then send Google off to search the results page you entered for keyword phrases you can then add to your list.

You can do this over and over again for each of the search results pages Google gives you until you’ve got all the keyword phrases you need.

Why not use the search results page url’s from other search engines to broaden and deepen your keyword list even more!

Once you’ve created your list of keywords you can then download them as a text, .csv (for excel) or regular .csv direct to your PC or Mac.

And there you have it, all the keywords you’re ever likely to need to help you optimize your website (and PPC ad campaigns) for lots of fresh targeted traffic.

Hi Terry,

Great tip, and comprehensive video to match.

I do have difficulty understanding how to use the Excel file inside the adwords account though.
(I have to admit, I’m pretty useless at using Excel anyway)

Any follow-up tips greatly appreciated. Hint, hint.

Cheers,

Pete.

Thanks for all your great feedback on this special keyword research system!

By entering the url’s of the search results pages of other search engines you can build some really significant lists of quality keyword phrases.

Don’t forget that searching for keywords this way gives you the keyword phrases your competitors are using to optimize their websites. Which leads to some interesting results.

I’m glad to help.

Very astute and innovative. I’m SO new to this process, but I can tell this technique is a step above the sort of seobook tool search. I think using this techinique with the new free Excel add-in (basically a clone version of keyword elite) you can do all kinds of powerful SEO.
Thanks for sharing.

This “outside the box” thinking gets my respect. Better than viewing source code from my competitors one page at a time! This rocks!

Great tip. I have used it for competitive intelligence but not used it for the search listings..I am using your process on sites such as wikipedia/industry verticals to try and capture more expert verbiage.

Brian Terry 08.14.08 at 2:33 pm

Hi art, excellent idea! I like your lateral thinking.

Thats a good twist, on something I do every day, now to find out some more keywords which my competitors are using. Thanks for that.

All these huge KW lists are all very fine but I have NEVER seen why you need a HUGE list and HOW does one use such a huge list when you finally get it together. Seems to me you can only enter a few KW in the KW slot for most web pages????

Thank you for emailing me regarding your 10 list of online resources.
Brian, I must say that I ‘m new to internet marketing and I’m still struggle to make sense of everything. And I’m learning the steps and the process to the 10 list of online resources you’ve given me to try.

Thank you for your help

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the great way of doing keyword research..but I am wondering about the amount of competition that some of these keywords have. Do you take this into account?
Some of the keywords have huge amounts of competition in the market that I am researching keywords.
Thanks
Denise
