A very short tip about the AdWords keyword tool — which is free to use, as I keep mentioning, no AdWords account needed. (If you do have an AdWords account, though, might as well log into the account and use it from there, you won’t have to prove you’re human.)
Normally, the AdWords keyword tool gives you at most 200 keyword ideas. What most people don’t know is that the list of keywords can vary on each request. So by running the tool multiple times on the same keyword you can generate a slightly larger set of keywords.
Here are the steps:
- Search for a keyword (or analyze a site)
- Scroll through the results and click all the Add all links so all the keywords end up in the list on the righthand side of the browser window
- Go back to the top and hit the Get keyword ideas button again.
- Scroll through the results. Any new keywords not already in the list will be obvious, since they’re in blue and the other ones are in grey.
- Repeat this process until you don’t get any more keywords. Try checking or unchecking the Use synonyms option while doing this to get even more keywords.
The only downside with this approach is that when you move the keywords over into the righthand side you lose all the search and competition data. If you plan on analyzing the data, you’ll want to download the spreadsheet format for the keyword data after each press of the Get keyword ideas. You’ll then have to merge the data into one big spreadsheet.
