1. Latent Semantic Indexing: This one is pretty well known, but there are a lot of people who still have not heard of it. Do a Google search for your target keyword with a tilde (~) in front of the keyword or phrase. Google will make all related keywords bold. For faster results, change your preferences to display 100 results so you can scan them quickly. Repeat for any related keywords you discover. 2. Amazon: Search Amazon for your keyword. The search results will provide related topics. Click the first item in the search results and scroll down the page to find loads of related topics - including what people actually bought. 3. Parked Domains / MFA Sites: Start typing "yourkeywords.com" until you find a MFA site with a built-in navigation system. (On my first try I picked flowershops [dot] com and found a good example. I'm not giving them a link, but go check it out for reference.) These people have done all the hard work for you! Clicking through their navigation structure you will find a lot of top keywords for your topic.
That's why I referenced the sample site. Your link says "silk cushions". So I semi-randomly try different url's until I come up with sofapillows.com. If you go to that site, you will see they have done a lot of the work for you - identifying a lot of key phrases related to pillows.
Thanks for your quite good tips. I sometimes use the research method by choosing some keywords related to some famous brand.
About the "~" I thought it already did that. Amazon is a good tip. I actually use that a lot of times to find reviews about a certain product. Wouldn't it be more helpful to search on google instead of parked domains and stuff, because it's basically the same thing, isn't it?
Do a Google search for your target keyword with a tilde (~) in front of the keyword or phrase. are there a space between the ~ and the keywords? Thanks.
For choosing keywords one of the best ways is Keyword Research, and are well suited for the website. It is also important to note that one can select the keywords from adwords based on their competition and bidding. But one thing keep in mind that always choose the best selected keyword.
Good question. I just tried with with and without a space and got different search results. I'd just play around with it and see what you find. For some of my key phrases it's turned up words I hadn't thought of before. For others, it hasn't yielded anything new. One thing I should clarify. These weren't suggestions to search for primary keywords related to your site. There are plenty of good ways to do that, e.g.: AdWords keyword tool AdWords click reports Google Suggest Wordtracker Wordze Keyword spy Digital Point tool your log files and so on These are just a few ways to search for topics indirectly related to your site. Some of them may work well for AdWords, some may work well for developing long tail content, and some may work well to finding other sources of back links that are considered more relevant by Google.
