Help with SEO research

[RedEvo]

If you have a moment could you visit the pretend search engine (http://www.redevo.com) and help with today's SEO research. It's for an online music shop.

Very interesting idea. I noticed that there was some obvious junk in the list of keywords, and they were deleted within a couple of minutes - do you manually filter the list, or use some logic to do this?

[RedEvo]

Thanks OMM. I think it could be a useful way of gathering seed words for SEO research.

I knocked it up yesterday but as yet I haven't put in any filters for 'bad' words. I simply deleted them by hand. The most offensive one has been passed on the police along with the IP address of the machine that posted it.

I'm inclined to simply leave all words in place although if people started to find it useful I'd put some logic in there ;)

[RedEvo]

I've put a filter in now although no doubt that throws down the 'beat the filter' gauntlet ;)

Great idea - I need some research like this for our business admin systems, are you the first to do this or are their others?

[RedEvo]

There may be others, I just thought it might be useful so I built it. Email me a scenario if you want to use this one and I'll stick it up.

haha! Stop! It's too early in the morning!

One of the results:

"ginger hedgehogs with pink ears and red fur covered in lime with cherries (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ginger%20hedgehogs%20with%20pink%20ears%20and%20 red%20fur%20covered%20in%20lime%20with%20cherries)"

Love it :D

Really like this - is it possible to frame Google below this and display google results to the typed in search. You could then ask people if they would use the links google found or whether they'd reformulate the search.

[RedEvo]

The keyword list generated on the results page links to Google - juts click the keywords to do a Google search ;)

That works yep - but it would be very useful to know whether having typed in the keyword search whether the user stops there, or types in another one.

For example, lets supposed you owned a jobsite and looked up search stats on Google - how many people have been searching here?

Jobs - 100 searches
Retail Jobs - 25 searches
Store Manager Jobs - 5 searches

Is is 130 people or just 100? Obviously its probably somewhere in the middle. Hope this makes sense...

[RedEvo]

The CSV file (archive section) shows the keyword and the IP address of the machine that submitted it ;)

Cunning - well if you do develop it into a commercial product - send me a PM may be of interest.

Cheers,

The Kettle wasn't me, although I was trying to think of something along the lines of 'pg tips', but darn it, you've stopped multiple submissions.:)

[RedEvo]

No I haven't ;)

SEO Book provides quite a good keyword tool that proves search volume for your keywords...

[RedEvo]

Yup, so does Wordtracker, Web CEO etc.

The idea with this tool is to 'pick' people's brains to gather seed words for keyword research.

I participated again today with a sensible one (not printing this time :) ) and I'm seeing the sense of this tool.

Good work

[RedEvo]

Hey Ray cheers for that. I do think it has some value for the 'starter for ten' stage ;)
