Keyword Analysis Tools – Google Adwords
Many bloggers use keyword analysis tools to determine which keywords to focus on in their blog posts in order to boost search engine traffic to their blogs. An easy and free way to determine the popularity of keywords is to create a Google AdWords account and pretend that you’re an advertiser. AdWords pay-per-click advertisers have to determine which keywords people are searching for, so they can bid on them to maximize the success of their ads. You can do the same thing and search for keywords related to your blog’s content that are driving high bids. Then use those words within your blog posts. It isn’t necessary to bid on keywords to use AdWords for your keyword analysis.
To create a Google AdWords account, visit Google Adwords Page and click the Start Now button shown below.
If you prefer, you can use a version of the Google AdWords Keywords tool without creating a Google AdWords account: Just click here, as shown below.
Simply enter a keyword and click the Get Keyword Ideas button, and a list of keyword suggestions is displayed with average search volume statistics and search volume statistics for previous months, shown below.
Use the Choose Columns to Display drop-down menu to see as many as seven columns of data, as shown in the figure below. You can also use the Match Type drop-down menu to display broad, phrase, or negative results, and you can scroll to the bottom of the list of related keywords to find links that let you save the results as a text, Microsoft Excel, or CSV file.
