Here's how to use a ~ to uncover keywords for your articles and web pages - step-by-step
- SEO |
Here's how to use a ~ (tilde) in a search on Google to find keywords that boost your articles and web sites.
The ~ is described as the synonym operator.
You can use the ~ (tilde) to get a list of words that Google considers are related to your main word. The more of these words that are on your page or in your article the more Google will consider that you article or page is about the main word.
So find the words that Google expects to see and use them.
Along with ~ you will also need to use a - which stops a word from being used in the search.
For example,
~diet will search for all the pages that have the word diet in them and all the pages that have the words related to diet.
~diet -diet will search for all the pages that have the words related to diet.
When you look at the Google results you will see words that are bolded. These are the other related words.
Not only does Google tell us what words are related it also bolds them which makes it easy to find them.
Here's the steps to find words related to diet
Step 1: Go to Google and search for ~diet
Step 2: Have a look at the results at what words are bolded. e.g. diet, eating and meals
Step 3: Put these bolded words after - in the search. Go to Google and search for ~diet -diet -eating -meals
Step 4: Keep repeating Steps 2 and 3 until there are no results. You will get ~diet: diet, eating, meal, recipes, weight, weight loss, foods
This means that the more of the words eating, meal, recipes, weight, weight loss and foods that are in your article or web page the more Google will judge that your page is relevant to diet.
Step 5: Do steps 1 to 4 for the words that you have just discovered. This leads to:
~eating: cooking, diet, dining, eater, eater's, eating, food, restaurants, eat, eats
~meal: dinner, meal, meals
~recipes: cookies, cooking, cooking recipes, diet, food, menu, menus, recipe, recipes
~weight: diet, fat, mass, weight, muscle, strength, pounds
~weight loss: diet, loss, mass, weight, weight loss, weightloss
~foods: diet, food, foods, fruits, recipes, snacks
You now have a lot more relevant words to use.
You could then keep repeating the process with the new words that you have uncovered to uncover yet more words. This would be more relevant for web site content. The words discovered above will be more than enough for an article.
