How to Create an Effective Keyword List

Part 2

Wordtracker is the most popular and effective SEO tool used by search engine marketers. WordTracker allows you to do a comprehensive search for related keywords, provides the number of searches for your keywords, then compares their popularity in the search engines with how competitive they are. Ideally you want to use keywords that receive a high number of searches but don’t have many competing web sites for the same keyword.

Using the free trial at WordTracker my comprehensive search for Spanish Shirts generates this list:

1. spanish shirts

2. spanish clubs

3. football shirts

4. overseas clubs

5. ebay

6. online shopping

7. online auction

8. apparel

9. spanish

10. t-shirts

11. sports memorabilia

12. ebay.co.uk

13. Spanish

14. real madrid

15. tshirt

The enhanced version would display 285 keywords here. If I click on Spanish Shirts I get a table showing keywords taken from all Dogpile & Metacrawler queries over the last 90 days.

Count = 4 This shows the number of times a particular keyword has appeared in the database.

E.g. The database currently holds 327967786 words. A count of 4 tells you that this particular word has appeared 4 times (this is over 90 days). The keywords are taken from major metacrawlers (a service that queries all the main search engines simultaneously).

Predict = 7 This is the maximum total predicted traffic for all of the major search engines/pay per bids and directories today.

Since Spanish Shirts generates a small number of searches, I will search on a broader term ie Spanish or T-Shirts

Spanish

spanish 3407 6009

spanish dictionary 3183 5614

spanish translator 2295 4048

spanish music lyrics 2114 3728

spanish translation 1892 3337

spanish english dictionary 1352 2384

english to spanish 1049 1850 dig

spanish to english dictionary 1040 1834

spanish to english 1033 1822

spanish babes 990 1746

learn spanish 989 1744

spanish american war 987 1741

english to spanish translation 778 1372

spanish to english translation 747 1317

english to spanish dictionary 745 1314

The first number beside each keyword is the count, the second is the predicted number.The list above generates higher numbers than Spansih Shirts because of their popularity. This is useful because it gives you another angle to attract traffic to your web site. For example you could create a page on how to learn spanish by integrating the keywords “learn spanish” in your article. The traffic this page receives may help sell more Spanish Shirts because the visitors will

visit the rest of the site.

10. funny shirts

11. cool t-shirts

If you subscribe to the paid version of wordtracker you will get another 85 words.You also have the choice of digging deeper on each of the keywords above if you want to view words related to the one you chose.

Conclusion.

Doing keyword research before you write the content for your web site will help you to identify what angles you can use to attract the search engine spiders. If you create different pages that include these keywords you gain extra traffic because they receive a high number of searches.

  3. Asking homework questions on here, especially lengthy ones like those you posted, is considered abusive of the purpose of Yahoo Answers. At least I find it abusive. At most, ask a single question that you are stumped on. If you’re stumped on all of these, then you are doomed anyway.
