[#5] Keyword Research

Keyword Research

Guys so we are all ready to do are keyword research 
so lets find some good keywords for our categories and articles.

In last step we did some deep niche analysis, trying to find any problems, questions, proudcts or other stuff in our niche.

So now I am looking at my deep niche analysis sheet and what I am trying to do here is turn these questions, problems or other stuff into seed keywords.

For Example:- When you were doing your niche analysis lets suppose your niche is web hosting.

When you dig deep into forums and yahoo answers lets suppose you found a question that "Which is the best web hosting" "Can any body tell me about cheapest web hosting" "If there is any free web hosting" "Who knows about best hosting plans"

So from above questions we already have got seed keywords which are below:-

• best web hosting
• cheapest web hosting
• best hosting plans
• free web hosting

So basically brainstorm as much as you can come up with seed keywords, turn those questions, problems in your deep niche analysis into seed keywords, and try to keep your keywords short like 2 to 3 words we want them pretty broad, later we going to find long tail keywords.


Now that I have my completed seed keyword list, the next job is to plug these into Google’s keyword tool to dig up some more good potential keywords and also check the numbers to see which ones are getting searches.

To do this I enter them into Google’s keyword tool, set all my parameters as in the image below and then let it do all the work.

Once the results got returned i downloaded them all in a csv file

So have you guys seen what i just did there?

By the help of my deep niche analysis, I found my seed keywords.

Than i throwed them In the keyword tool and got bunch loads of related keywords.

I have set the criteria to only show me keywords that get over 1000 searches a month and have a high competition in terms of numbers of advertisers. High numbers of advertisers = more ads = more income.

So now we have got quite a few of good keywords which we know are highly searched and are highly competitive upon advertisers so well done guys:-)

So now what we need is a proper structure for our site, we need a well organized and themed site so lets find some categories.

So now to choose them what I did is opened my keywords csv from recent step and checked what are some higly searched keywords in that list.

Than I looked at my competitors site’s on Google’s top 10 for the keyword “web hosting” and looked for patterns in their site structure and categorisation.

So If you follow these steps you will end up having some killer category keywords:-)

Ok Now! we are all ready to find keywords for articles aka long tails.

So what I am doing now is I have opened my keywords CSV and I am just categorising everything under my chosen main categaroies.

For example 1 of my category is "Cheap Web Hosting"

So what I am gonna do is open a excel file names "Category Cheap Web Hosting" and under it I am gonna put each and every keyword which relates to this category from google keywords csv file.

i will do this for all my categories so all related topics go into related categories. It takes time to do it but its worth it guys.

So now what i am gonna do is open market samurai, copy all the keywords from "Category Cheap Web Hosting" and paste it into add keywords box in market samurai.

Below are the settings I am gonna use.

Set Phrase to Broad to a minimum setting of 5.

Set SEO Traffic to a minimum of 50.

Click the generate keywords button.

After the results returned than click analyze keywords.

Set Phrase to Broad to a minimum setting of 15.

Set SEO Traffic to a minimum of 50.

Set the match type to "Phrase".

Click on the "Analyze Keywords" button

Now the tool has returned quite a few potential keywords for you to go for which all has what we need.

Now go to seo competition tab in market samurai and check all these keywords based on my previous competition factors which i mentioned in a earlier post.

Whew! So at last we are done with the research part of our site creation now and got the best of the best keywords.

Any questions just post below and I will answer them.
