Advanced Web Ranking - Keyword Suggest

SEO and Keywords

The most important question, when optimizing a web site for better ranking in search engines is: "Which keywords to optimize for?" Which are the keywords people enter in their web browser every day when looking for stuff on Google or Infoseek? And which variant or combination of your keywords is the winning one? Which noun should be the first? Which should be the last? Any adjectives?

A difference of one letter in a small word may mean the difference between one hundred thousands visitors a day and one thousand. For your web site, it may mean the difference between success and failure. Optimize for the wrong keyword and you will be spending days working to get 10 more visitors.

Word Popularity Tools

The good news is that there are certain tools online that can help. You type your keywords and they will suggest related searches, together with relative importance indices. Very useful. Unfortunately their statistics are based on less used search engines. What is currently the most important search engine of them all, Google, has so far been very secretive with its data. No keyword usage was reported, other than the Google Zeitgeist. And who's optimizing for "Britney Spears" anyway?!

Google Suggest

But all that has changed a short time ago, when Google released a new search tool: Google Suggest. Type in a few letters and Google will propose 10 queries that start with those letters, together with the number of results they generate. The way those 10 keywords get selected is from their most common searches, filtering any adult-related ones.

This is invaluable for the SEO community: finally you can get reliable information on what people are looking for on Google. The only limitation is that the suggested variation only concerns the keyword postfix. An even more powerful tool would suggest variations of the prefix as well. We can always dream...
