When we write something on google searchbox we see a drowpdown menue suggesting some relevant keywords. Now my question is, can I save the suggestions?

My another question is, is there any tool that can scrape all google suggestions after putting a, b, c, d respectively with the keyword? For example

"Internet Marketing a"
"Internet Marketing b"
"Internet Marketing c" ???

    If you are using Chrome (or Firefox with Firebug, IE with Developer Tools, etc.):

    1. Go to Google
    2. Press F12 to open developer tools
    3. Go to the Network tab
    4. Start typing, and you will see a bunch of requests being made to Google's server.
    5. Pick one, and click on it.
    6. Click on the Headers tab - the Request URL is what you want.
    7. Click on the Response tab - it will have the suggestions buried somewhere in there.
    8. Grab the Request Url, change the "q" parameter to what you want to search for, then parse the JSON returned, and you are in business.

      Thanks but pretty complicated! I would rather go for grabing those by copying and pasting from google itself. However many thanks for your help.

        I think you are talking about what google fills in, not the number of searches, or
        what people are searching for at this given moment.

        Of course you can.

        Start by doing this:
        Type in: why is

        See what you get.

        Type in a little more
        why is california

        "why is" is something that can indeed be taken advantage of.

        I never buy into what people are searching for in terms of total number.
        Meaningless number. So many variations of keywords that's it's pretty
        useless.

        But "why is," now that's targeted. Targeted visitors is so much better.

        Why is isn't the only thing to glean.

    I am sure you can scrap those suggestions, I don't know exactly how to do it, but a few months ago there was a software like that on the war room given away for free, you should take a look there to see if there is still around.

    Ubersuggest. (Free. 1 level deep I believe.)

    Or, if you want to get really crazy, Scrapebox can go four levels deep. I've done this and have ended up with 50,000+ keywords after it finishes.

      This is the answer! Many thanks Jason. You are always helpful.
