A great keyword research guide?

[sabian1982]

Just come across the following keyword research ebook from wordtracker. Unsure about the quality, but taking a brief look at the index it looks like it could prove useful especially to those who are new or want to understand a little bit more about keyword research and the like.

Enjoy: http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/keyword-research-guide/

theres so many different ways to do keyword research, google trackers to see where your existing customers are coming from, do a search on google and theres tons of keyword tools,some you have to pay for some you dont.

The trouble with Wordtracker and Overture keyword lists is that their figures can be awfully flawed, both in terms of volume, and relative importance.

Best keyword research is via PPC - gives you a better idea of volume and potential conversion rates if tested properly.

I know the idea has been suggested before, and the idea of spending a few hundred on keyword research treated with disdain.

IMO, though, if you're a serious business, you need to do serious research. Keyword research is not a cost, it's an investment.

My keyword sources are;

1. My own stats, seeing what words get me traffic.
2. 'Related Searches' on some google (bottom of page) SERPs, and MSN (top right) SERPs
3. Tag clouds can be useful
4. Overture (if it ever comes back online)
5. Competitors sites, viewing the code
6. And a few others...

All free too.

It may sound obvious but do you ask your clients how they find you? Getting inside clients minds is good.

We are always amazed at how little potential clients know about an industry. They are looking to find a solution to a situation and a lot of the time will search with a "throw a dart on to a dart board whilst blindfolded approach".
