I honestly feel that keyword research is one of the most important skills you can have as an online business owner.
I decided to use a video from my Blogging for Bucks BootCamp and I think you’ll enjoy it. If you did not make it into BootCamp you can click HERE and see if I’m still accepting new attendees.
Since the video will “show” you what I do and why I won’t go into a ton of detail here in the post.
I use a combination of tools and I honestly feel you can get most all of the information you need by using Google’s free tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.
I start with a very broad term and then use the results from the tool to drill down until I find a keyword phrase that will work for my needs. I use keyword phrases for the main title of a blog, my domain names, my file extensions, for each individual post, for anchor text, for tags and keywords … for any aspect of telling the search engines (and readers) what my site, page, or information is about.
After I find some potential keyword phrases I move on to checking out the competition. I need to know how many other pages I’ll be competing for if I use that phrase. You want to find that “sweet spot” … enough searches to bring visitors vs. the least amount of competition for that particular term. Make sense?
So … I’ll share some of the ways I look at the competition in an upcoming lesson.

Hi … My name is Suzanne Franco (Land) and I’m a wife (newlywed actually) and mother to 5 amazing kids (my 3 and his 2 – ages 9 to 16) and we live in the Texas Hill Country where we try to spend a lot of time in the water (river, boating, wakeboarding, the beach, etc.) and running from one kid’s sporting event to the other (mainly football, cheerleading, and soccer).

Hi Suzanne,
Thank you so much for this helpful video tutorial teaching me how to drill down on my keyword phrases for long-tail video titles to use in my YT marketing. This was highly helpful to me and I’m appreciative! Bill Cobb

Hi Bill ~ Thanks for your comment and your tweets. Some of the tips I’ve used for YouTube:
1. Use a keyword phrase for your title
2. Use your link at the start of your description (main or specific post/page)
3. Use good solid tags/keywords
4. You can search using the same keyword phrase as you’re going after – them look at the top videos and see what tags/keywords they used. This is what YT uses to show the “similar” videos after a video plays … so you can try to piggy-back on the most popular videos by doing this.
I have other tips if you’re interested … just let me know

I’ve got to tell ya, this really is what I would call a good blog. I read it few times a week, and I always stumble across good content. Don’t you dare stop blogging! Haha.
This is a very good tutorial.
Anyway, don’t let me waste your time. All I wanted to say was keep up the good work! I’ve subscribed to your channel on YouTube AND your RSS-feed for the blog.
Big hugs all the way from Sweden!

I use a little different way when doing keyword research. First, I try think like the visitor who may be interested in my website. I try to guess some long tail keywords.
Then I use the Google keywords tool. I try to find related long tail keywords — I make my list of long tail keywords more specific and then search for similar keywords using this tool.
Hi,
Wonderful video.I learned many new things from it.Really Google AdWords is very interesting tool. One of the main advantages of Google AdWords is its’ easy to use interface and the setup of individual campaigns.
Yeah, good video, thanx. I find AdWords to be one of the easiest and most effective ways of making money online. Given, it takes a little time getting to know the algorithms and systems, but it is rewarding in the long run. Merry X-mas!
I do use keyword research tools bu they are often far from correct. let’s not forget we can make good money with keywords that never show up in search engines. I have been trying to get in to the mind of the average Internet user and writing using terms I believe they would use with very good results.

Another way to put the key request to google ad-words. Calculate key inquiries that most conversions to your site. After the list of relevant, properly selected key demands – can be optimized and the site itself for them.
Keyword Tool External does a great ob but I also use another paid tool with it,Keyword Sniper Pro to get accurate results and to generate more and more relevant Keywords.
