Are you making the most of Google Suggest yet?
 
Hello my friends,

I don't know about you, but I love Google Suggest. I'm sure you've noticed it by now; whenever you type in a search term at Google, it automatically suggests related search terms to you.

It got me thinking: how can I personally use Google Suggest, today?

1. In terms of SEO: I can type in a keyword - for example "make money" - and Google gives me (in this case) 10 related and more specified keywords. It's probably easier to rank well for those in stead because more specified = less competing web sites.

2. In terms of marketing / name branding / competition research: going through all 11 search terms - if we use the above example - will give you a pretty good overview of who's doing well in your market and you can now research what they're doing, how they're doing it, do link exchanges and post on their blogs to get backlinks, request to be a guest author on their site or blog, look for potential partners, etc.

3. Obviously, the same search results will also give you an idea of where your potential customers are hanging out! If they're not coming to your site, then this might give you ideas to change that. You might need to target different keywords, you might need to get 'out there' more and be more visible for your market. Etc.

3. I'm thinking this will have implications for PPC marketers as well, but this is not my area of expertise and I won't pretend that it is. I'm sure there will be articles and special reports on this topic shortly so if this interests you be on the lookout for those.

So for sure Google Suggest can be a valuable tool.
You should really consider how you get the most out of it and use it to your benefit.

Google has a FAQ page up at Google Suggest FAQ

Hope you found this useful.


Until next time,
Jim B.

Hi Cynthia, Truby,
Thanks for the nice comments.

I've really just scratched the surfice here giving a basic example of what you can do with Google, hoping to get more Warriors excited about the different tools they offer these days. Because they really do provide a wealth of valuable information that you can use in many different ways.

For example you can, as Ed Chiasson just suggested over at the Main Internet Marketing Forum, run the good keywords you find with Google Suggest through Google Insight to take it yet again to another level!

I've given a few ideas already of how you can actually use the info you find, it's not just useless data. For all of you wondering what it is the 'guru's' are doing to become so successful? Well it is my strong belief that this is key: research. It all starts with doing research, and then actually doing something with the results.

So that's what I'll be doing :-)

Jim,

Great share and very helpful. You should make this a blog post and run with it.

Thanks Alan and Matt.

Actually I have shared this also on my blog (link in my sig).

And I went on and created a 10 page pdf report on the subject, covering 3 steps:
1. Defining your market place.
2. Locating your top competitors, the people who have already figured out what works and what doesn't.
3. Beating the competition at their own game while skyrocketing your own business at the same time.

You can do all of this using the current Google tools. They are very powerful if you know how to use them.

I'm offering the report here: http://www.onlinebizpromotionsite.co...anddestroy.htm

If you really don't want to opt-in (which is required at this page) you can pm me and I'll send you the direct download link (only for you Warriors).

Why I do it this way is because I truly believe that this report provides valuable information, and I don't want the direct download link to be all over the place. Least I should get out of this is a name and email address :-)

Cheers,
Jim B.

When i 1st see google suggest, it is in this keyword research tool: Seo Book Keyword Suggestion Tool

I was curious about it, then i clicked on it. And i found it is useful for keyword research.

Just 2 cents
