Hey, An idea just came to my head on how to check to see how many searches for a keyword a month. Like, if you want to know how much the term " New Car" gets searched per month on google. This is idea would give pretty accurate results, but would require money usage depends on the keyword. Well this is how to do it: 1)Buy about 10 VCC's. Go through the promotion url on adwords that gives you $50 credit when you sign up. Each VCC will cost you $6. So you would need to spend $60 about. 2)Start a campaign on 2-3 terms/keywords that you want to research. Make sure that you bid high enough that you land on the first page of the keywords/terms 3) Make your ad as non friendly as possible, make it non-related to the keyword/term, so there wouldn't be much clicks on your ad. 4) From here you would cross your fingers, and hope that google doesn't hit you with a bad quality score for awhile, or, that people don't click on your ad, and get you over your $50. 5) In the very worst case, you last 1 hour. Well you should know that in your adword campaign, it would show how many impressions your ad got. Well if you got 100 impressions within one hour, then you could say that you would get 2.4k impressions per day for that keyword. You would want to keep testing this campaign on the remaining adword accounts with the $50 credit. If the ratio remains at 100 impressions per hour, then well its a safe bet to say that the keyword/term gets 2.4k searches per day. Extra Tip: If you want to test this on a high competitive keyword, then probably you would could only test on this one keyword on a single account, since you may rack on high clicks too quickly. Again, I am just throwing this tip out to everyone. This would cost you some money, but for people like me, this method is worth the money. I would rather know what my end results would be from my seo purchase, and waste some dough. Also, if you want to know how much traffic you would get on being on the second page on google for that term/keyword, then well bid so your ad appears on the second page.
You've said yourself why it won't work ) Make your ad as non friendly as possible, make it non-related to the keyword/term, so there wouldn't be much clicks on your ad. 4) From here you would cross your fingers, and hope that google doesn't hit you with a bad quality score for awhile, They will - it won't show. People DO use adwords to research and test, but you can't do it by being deliberately irrelevant.
The keyword word was for awhile. When you start a brand new adwords account, usually takes 3-4 hours before Google checks over your keywords.
Hmm, or you could just use some of the free tools. I don't see this to be more reliable than them - it depends on your luck I guess.
I have found that the best way to assess keywords is Google Analytics - after detecting which the best keyword is, it is not difficult to get targeted traffic if the correct SEO techniques are used. However, if those keywords are too competitive, working on a set of 'lateral' keywords and phrases may be even more effective. Maxdpadillas Insurance Quotes Online
RichUser... that's the exact same technique I thought of the other day. Wow! What a coincidence! The method WILL work. All you have to do is make sure the keywords you are "advertising" under are related to the landing page. If you don't have time to create a related landing page, just point it to any webpage that is optimized for those keywords. (Just do a google search for the keyword). The only thing is, make your ads very general. Something like "Your source for everything" will not get too many clicks and google won't be able to say "you're abusing our system". If worse comes to worse, a couple hours later your quality score for that ad will go down, but by then you'll probably have finished collecting your data.
