In this video I
'm going
to show you a great way
to get better keywords out
of the Google Adwords Keyword tool if you haven't seen the previous video you'll want
to watch that video where I show you how
to get better search volume numbers from both google adwords as well as some other sources
to get better estimates for the amount
of times that keyword
is searched each month i'll put a link in the video here so that you can click that video if you haven't seen that yet let
's get started now if you want better results from the Google Adwords Keyword planner you have
to work a little differently than everyone else so most people come
to the Google Adwords Keyword planner and they simply click on this search for new keywords using a phrase, website, or category and then they just paste a bunch
of keywords into this text box so let
's say as an example that these
were our starting keywords ok so let
's say we have the keywords «fishing tips» «fishing tackle» «fishing for bass» «fishing rod» and «fishing reel» what most people do
is that they would simply come here and they would copy this they would paste it into this field and they would hit Search and they would get back their results and that
's fine but one little tip that will help you get much better results
is only paste in one key word at a time so instead
of pasting all these in just paste in the single keyword «fishing tips» and then proceed from there
to pull that those results up and you'll get this back if you click right here you can download the ideas you'll notice they
're 701 here listed so if we download these ideas will download them
to a CSV file comma separated value file you can open that with notepad you can open it with excel open office when you
're finished putting all your ideas and individually you will now have a bunch
of different common separate value files containing the keywords and the search volume I've already gone ahead and done that just
to save time on the video but i want
to show you what happens when you use this method versus just pasting in the keywords like most people do so here you'll see this column here represents these two columns here represent if we had pasted in all
of the keywords at once and click search at google adwords keyword tool
is one that showed you and you'll see we have a total
of 706 results we got back when we did that this column this column here represents what happens when we paste one key word at a time and then download the file paste the second keyword download the file and then we just simply grab those terms and copy them and you'll see now we have a total
of 1,915 keywords now what I've done with the highlighting here
is to show you anything that
's not highlighted in this column
is a keyword we would not have gotten back had we pasted in all the keywords at once you can see there
's lots and lots
of keywords here we would not have seen know your competitors and the company
's you
're competing against they
're using probably the simple method just pasting a bunch
of keywords sitting search and then looking through those terms
to find their terms if you will take the extra few minutes it takes doesn't take long
to simply go in and paste one key word at a time you will get back a ton
of great keywords that others aren't seeing because they
're using this other method and in actuality when I ran the numbers there
's a total
of 3.8 million searches represented by these keywords here that you would miss if you simply just copied and pasted those five terms and hit search the Google Adwords Keyword planner once you've used the google keyword planner
to find lots
of new keyword ideas what do you do with all those keywords the biggest
problem is that you can there
are so many keyword tools out there you can get hundreds
of thousands
of keywords by spending a day using the different keyword tools but what you do with all that information the
answer is a cool tool called keyword grouper pro and Keyword Grouper Pro
