Longtail keyword research - fast and easy!

[Matt Jutras]

*EDIT: yes, this is most useful for article ideas. Sorry I was not so clear when posting originally.

Some of you likely know this already, but for newbies it's a great tool.

We all know the importance of long tail keywords, so I'll skip the speech and get to the meat and potatoes...

First go here:

Keyword Questions – Keyword Research Tool

Now let's enter a single keyword to try out..."money"...

Survey says:



I'm sure most of you will see value in this...especially if you need article writing ideas

Sorry if this is old hat, but I see it as valuable and there are plenty of new people around to take advantage of it.

That is so cool. Yes, and talk about highly targeted. There is no better way to target a market than to answer their real questions. Thank you for sharing.

Longtail doesn't mean a long phrase. It means it is a term that is used to search for a specific niche that is not one of the main big keyword phrases. It means that there are fewer searches on it, but hopefully there is much less competition for it so it is easier to rank in G for that term.

It is going after the little fish.

I don't know if it is old hat but I definitely am pleased you shared that with us.

Thanks mate.

This is a great tool, it does make it a lot easier for idea's that you may need to write an article with. I think that people cannot hear enough about the whole long-tail way of creating an article. With all the competition out there, you need to find things that are being searched and has very little competition.

More socially interesting then useful for marketing in my opinion.

Los Angeles

Top 3

1 what type of region is los angeles 827
2 los angeles where do omari grandberry live 125
3 who is the sheriff of los angeles county

Can you monetize from this? I'd imagine there is opportunity in trends... but how big is the data pool they are using? And what Geo Group is it skewed towards?

If the data pool were Google I'd see a whole lot more value in this.

Nice share, Matt. This looks like the perfect tool for finding interesting subjects for article writing. I probably wouldn't optimize an article for the actual question, but would find a related longtail term that would fit the question to optimize around.

[Graham Maddison]

Before diving in and using the high search volume keywords, it is worth doing some further research to see how many competing sites or articles are optimized with them, otherwise you could easily find your efforts have been wasted.

"What presidents are on money?"! Is this really the question most asked about money? And by such a landslide, too? According to your example, almost twice as many people are concerned with this nonsensical query than "How to make money?"

Something seems a bit off here. I think it's useful for sparking ideas, but it falls a long way short of fast and easy long tail keyword research. Unless fast, easy and inaccurate long tail keyword research is the aim of the game, in which case you might just as well listen to the questions being asked down the pub. At least you get a beer out of it

This is a great tool, thank you for this. I have bookmarked it.

[EdKirby]

Thanks for the heads up on this! What a great tool!

[Tom Brite]

Anyone know where they get their results from and also how they work out their search volumes?

[Matt Jutras]

I should have been more clear, especially in my thread title.

Yes, this is absolutely more useful for article ideas than anything else. Though there could be some value in actual keyword research itself.

Glad some of you found it useful.

[Superior]

what are your partner search engines?? Is this tool collects data from Google???

[Ryan6]

Not sure aboout this. If you're building for Google then the Adwords Keyword Tool is perfect for the job.

[JLP]

Think the tool definitely has its uses. Thanks for sharing Matt.

[geolt7]

Thanks for sharing. These look like low competition keywords definitely.

[pratibha]

Hi Matt,
You have given interesting info. The value of this info will depend upon how you want to use it. If a writer is given the keyword research work also then this will be very much useful info. It should also help in understanding what people really want. Thanks for good info

Interesting and potentially useful tool - thanks for sharing

[yoshiko]

I have a question.
"Times Asked" indicates per day or per month basis?

Thanks

[TedMarlett]

This is kind of interesting. If this is used in conjunction with the Adwords Keyword Tool a person may go a long ways in adding different takes on article titles and ideas.

Could be a useful tool along the way for article marketing.

[Matt Jutras]

This is SO deadly for article writing.

I've been using this tool all day to mine keyword rich questions...and then ran them through Answer Analyst.

End result after 9 hours? 16 articles.

That might not sound like a lot after 9 hours....especially if you're used to churning out two dozen Bum articles per hour...but they are high quality and will fetch some good money on Constant Content.

You need to use this keyword tool a little better. The best way to use this info is to take one of the phrases in the search, copy it, and search that phrase to come up with "real" longtials.

Here, I did it below. I took one of the phrases that came up under "money", then searched it and came up with some better phrases. This is where the real money is
