Hmm interesting a list of keywords

Before you pass on this method compared to using your favorite keyword tool, It’s my suggestion consider the following.

Google need to keep the everyday user happy so that they return Google all the time..

1) The information from these searches are directly from Google, so the information has not been corrupted in any way.

Google seems to get it right a lot of the time, and certainly more than the other major search engines at this point in time.

This is getting interesting.

I find the best use of this technique is when searching new niches, or when trying to establish the viability of entering a particular niche.

Google wants to provide the person searching with the most accurate and relevant results possible. My two favorite keyword research tools currently are Nichebot and Market Samurai (google them). The search terms that come back might end up being very useful. With all the latest whiz bang all conquering, overly hyped software tools that seemingly gets released everyday, sometimes it pays to take a step back and go back to just using a very simple method like searching in Google!

In my case, I actually use this method in conjunction with other keyword tools, and get the best out of both worlds..

Ok so given that Google is currently returning the most relevant results and has the biggest user base when compared to any other search engine, and that its clear that their primary goal is info relevance to their searchers, doesn’t it make sense to use Googles search results and be using this information more when conducting keyword research?

For example lets say your searching for the keyword phrase web traffic

When I typed in keyword phrase into google, I got a list of current pages that Google believe are the most relevance to that search term (along with a host of ads).

But in additional to this information at the bottom of the page they also provide (and here is the key).Would you be interested in knowing what keyword phrases Google think are the most relevant to your search query? Would you like this list of results to be kept updated all the time? How about accessing the information anytime you need it?

And furthermore what about if I told you that you could access all the info using nothing but your favorite browser and a standard Google search?

Does that take your fancy? Read on.

Mostly these black hat techniques are found by Google who is getting smarter at finding these types of hacks.. Sometimes there are no related search terms are provided for a given keyword, but given that its free Im happy to overlook that oversight.

Firstly lets take a step back and talk about relevance, as this term is at the very core of Googles search engine results.

Hmm interesting a list of keywords that Google think are relevant to my search.

Many keyword tools don’t use information from Google at all (Wordtracker) or combine information from many sources.

Shred Internet Marketers have, of course found methods to "game" Google in the past, so that their own sites show up in place of what should be the most relevant results, and such tricks are still used in modern times.

Google actually show you the search terms that they deem to be the most relevant to your search.

Now if you do some research about this, there is some speculation on how google decide on what words are displayed, but no matter what you think I believe it’s certainly worth looking at, isnt it?

In my testing I found the keywords it came up with seemed to be keywords heavily searched on.

I am not saying that you abandon all other keyword tools in favor of this technique, but I do recommend you check it out.

And occasionally I have to say the terms returned seem a little bizarre.

I doubt there is such a thing as search http://www.sunrisetech-china.com/product/pu-toys-gifts/ engine loyalty (at least not for the non Internet Marketing search engine user). But this seems to be in more unusual niches that perhaps Google have not collected enough information for (my speculation). Google are aware that if they do not provide this information, its likely that users will no longer use their search engine altogether, and no users means no Adwords revenues which is their main source of income!

For a prime example of a search engine losing market share, spare a thought for AltaVista? In its time it was the most popular search engine, and almost overnight (not quite) was displaced from 1st position to Google because they dropped the ball with relevance.

One last thing to note is that unfortunately not all keywords are supported.

Trust me when I say Google are very aware of this, and put a heap of resources into ensuring that when you search for something, the results that come back are highly related to your the search term you used..

Get out there and have a look at the related search function in Google. If a better alternative comes along, the everyday people will just start using that service.. For example I could have clicked increase web traffic and received a list of related search terms that relate to that term.

And you can drill down by clicking on a phrase to get relevant keywords to that keyword. Here we have information direct from the source!

2) The information returned from Google is of course very up to date, unlike a lot of other keyword research information that can be months out of date.

Searches RELATED to: increase web traffic (Their words)..

.

In the case of web traffic, the search terms returned to me were

increase web traffic
free web traffic
buy web traffic
google web traffic
web traffic report
web traffic generator
web traffic monitoring
measure web traffic

They all seem pretty related to my original search.
