By now, you probably know about the some of the basic tools for SEO keyword research before launching an online campaign. Everyone understands the tools that are available through Google\u2019s Keyword tool and performing various online searches. But if you want to take your campaign to the next level, you need to go beyond the basics and use a wide range of sources for your research.<\/p>\n

One great way to do this is with eVisible\u2019s free Keyword Suggestion Tool<\/a>, which provides you with effective and targeted keywords to meet your needs. Along with this, there are other outlets that will provide you with useful information and potential keywords for your SEO campaign. Here are four sources to consider:<\/p>\n

\"keyword<\/a><\/p>\n

Popular Posts of the Year: <\/b>One way to understand what keywords people are searching for is to see which blog posts are generating interest within your niche. One way to do this is by performing a Google search that looks something like this:<\/p>\n

[your field]+most popular posts of 2012+traffic<\/p>\n

So, if you an investigative firm, you might perform a Google search like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigative Law\u201d \u201cmost popular posts of 2012\u201d traffic<\/p>\n

The results might take you to posts like this one from the Diligentia Group<\/a> highlighting their 10 most popular posts out of the more than 50 they made in 2012. Reviewing these posts will give you a sense of which keywords they highlighted and what readers were searching for when they arrived.<\/p>\n

Google Keyword Tool Searches By Year:<\/b> You can also use chronology to narrow your searches when using the Google Keyword tool. When reviewing your analytics data with Google Keyword, do a search for \u201c2012.\u201d This will tell you the phrases and keywords that were generating interest in the previous year and which ones will likely to become popular soon.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia: <\/b>Nothing is more frustrating than spending money on a keyword campaign only to see a Wikipedia link come up first on results. It can be hard to move a Wikipedia site some a top ranking. You can use this tool (https:\/\/stats.grok.se\/<\/a>) to review the traffic volume of any Wikipedia site for the last 90 days to see if a page associated with any keyword term is going to be an obstacle to your success.<\/p>\n

Government Websites: <\/b>As Search Engine Land accurately points out, government sites are potential goldmines for keyword information<\/a>. In many cases, you can see the most popular pages, referring sites and keywords used for many government sites that could relate to your niche. Reviewing this data will give you a better sense of popular keywords and potential link partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
