A Keyword Research Tool Launched by Google

Posted by max On November - 30 - 2008

The beta launch of Google’s Search-based Keyword Tool inside AdWords blog has been announced. In some cases this tool is a Compete.com knock off, but it has a number of exceptions:

->This tool is free
->This shows your current page titles and keywords
->This shows the % of organic and paid traffic going to a URL
->Google has more search data than Compete.comthis shows bid prices and search volume estimates next to keywords (like the Google Traffic Estimator)

For any keyword, the Google Search-based Keyword Tool will show up to 800 related keywords with cost and search volume estimates. This tool also works to show you 100 keywords related to a site, and if you own a website they will show you thousands of keywords that they think you could bid on which are not already in your account. In addition they show your search share of voice (via ads and organic search results) for keywords.

Extra features that can be applied on this tool are:

->Minimum or maximum search volumes
->bid price range
->keyword in URL
->combining URL and keywords as filters
->keyword + general category
->negative keywords
->low, medium, or high competition

Using a variety of different combinations for these filters you can see many different sets of 800 keywords even within the same subset. Export these different lists a variety of times and you can quickly build a list of thousands of high value keywords.
