Free Keyword Search Tool For Simple Keyword Research

On page SEO begins with simple keyword research using a free keyword search tool.  This is the secret to making money.  When you can make sense of how to find the keywords or search terms people are looking for, set your page up to optimize for these words and then rank for them within Google, Bing or any other search engine out there … then and only then will you begin the journey of financial freedom online.  No calling prospects or endless emails or 3 way calling to reach your goals but TRUE online riches!  Lets get started on finding success with this journey.

Free Keyword Search Tool to Simple Keyword Research

Like everything internet related if you look hard enough you will find something free to help you with simple keyword research.  A free keyword search tool is no different.  If you search Google and type in the word ‘keyword’ the first choice will be “Google’s Keyword Tool’ and this little url you will want to ‘Bookmark’ or save as a ‘Favorite’ because it will make you a lot of money online!  Once you arrive at this site there are a couple of things you will want to do.  In the middle at the top there is a box  requesting a word or phrase.  This is where you will want to place a ‘keyword’ that you are looking for.  There are 2 types of keywords.  “short tail” keywords and “long tail” keywords.  The definition of each are as follows.  Short tail are 2 or less words such as ‘keyword’ or ‘keyword research’.  Long tail are keywords with 3 or more such as ‘keyword research tool’ or free keyword tool research’.  The longer the keyword the harder it is to find a high number of searches.  The shorter the keyword you will find a greater number of searches but a tremendous amount of competition.  Thus the challenge in front of you!

Simple Keyword Research, Free Keyword Search Tool

So you are using Google’s Free Keyword Search Tool and you want to make it easier on you to do simple keyword research.  On the left side of the screen is a section labelled ‘Match Types’.  Make sure that the box for ‘Broad’ and ‘Exact’ are checked.  This will give you 2 outcomes.  The ‘Broad’ shows the amount of searches with this particular word within it and the ‘Exact’ will show the amount of searches with this EXACT word placement.  This becomes incredibly important when becoming the keyword czar that you are destined to become.  Along with your specific keyword results Google will also give you a number of alternative choices.  This is where you can spend you day researching because these alternate choices will get your mind thinking.  You can simply look and place these at the top of this tool and allow this wonderful Google Tool to give you these results as well. These additional results or choices that  Google gives you can lead to some serious opportunities when you are looking for those ‘gold nuggets‘.  Take your time and go through them as you access your results.  You will be amazed at the way this gets your mental juices flowing and offers more thoughts on additional blogs for your Empower Network system!

Volume Matters In Simple Keyword Research Using The Free Keyword Search Tool

I have additional blog posts about the search volume you want to be targeting when looking at whether or not you want to use certain keywords.  These search volumes are based on a monthly usage.  As a rule of thumb I like it best when my ‘Broad’ results start at a minimum 2,400 and my ‘Exact’ results start at 1,000 but this is all just personal choice.  If I find a broad term and it has 30,000 people searching for it and I have 590 ‘exact’ people searching for it I figure that it is popular in nature and that 590 gives me the opportunity of 20 people a day searching for a term I am trying to optimize for.  With Empower Network link juice I feel like I am always in the game.  If your not sure what Empower Network is about click any banners on this blog site and get tuned into what you are missing!  It is by far the greatest thing going and I cannot begin to tell you what an understatement that is.

When I first started looking for keywords I would find myself spending an afternoon looking for ‘that’ gold nugget.  I can honestly say that I would absolutely love the challenge of doing such.  I hope you will find energy and passion within this blog to do the same.
