Managing Keywords

Selecting [Keywords] from the Project left side menu you can add, remove, export, translate, spell-check and organize your keywords.

Add keywords to project

The first button from this window's toolbar is the Add button which gives you several methods you can use to add new keywords to the project:

  • Type keywords.  You can just add the keywords you wish to have in your project by typing them in this window, one by row, and click on the [Add to project] button.

  • Import from File.  This option allows you to import keywords from a text file. Just choose the name of the file that contains the keywords you wish to import. The format of the text file is one keyword per line.

  • Import from URL.  This feature allows you to import the keywords contained in the title and META tag of a web page. The retrieved keywords will be added to a temporary list where you can edit them before adding them to your project. You can perform multiple URL queries and gather the retrieved keywords in a single temporary keywords list from which you can choose the keywords you add to your project.

  • Import from website.  This feature allows you to import the keywords contained in the meta title tag (page title), meta keywords tag or from both meta tags of an website's pages. You are able to set the page depth and the page limit.

    After you entered the website where the keywords are going to be imported from, select a search depth, the page size limit, which meta tag to get the keywords from and press the [Import] button. The retrieved keywords will be added to a temporary list where you can edit them before adding them to your project.

    The "Get keywords from" drop down list allows you to select the section used to extract the keywords. You can choose to import your keywords from page title, meta keywords tag or both.

    [Note]Note

    The higher the page depth is, the more time Advanced Web Ranking will take to import the keywords.

  • Keyword Research Tool.  Using this tool you can research new keywords using the most popular tools available on the internet: Google AdWords, Google Webmaster, Google Search Based, Google Suggest, 7Search, Wordtracker, Yahoo and SEMRush. Choose which one you wish to use first researching.

  • Generate.  To generate keywords, write relevant words for your search and The Keyword Builder will generate a list of all possible combinations among the words you have added.

    Furthermore, the Keyword Builder allows you to select a group of words that have a desired order and consider them as a whole. All the combinations that are then generated will maintain that particular order of words. In order to achieve this, simply write the chosen words between quotation marks and press [Generate].

    Customize this list by removing the combinations you find unnecessary, and press the [Add All to Project] button. All the remaining keywords will then be added to your project.

  • Restore Keywords.  This allows you to restore some of the keywords you have previously removed from your project. Select the terms you wish to add back to your project and press the [Save] button.

Remove keywords from project

By pressing the [Remove] button you enable a mode which allows you to select and delete keywords from your project. Use the left side check boxes to mark the keywords you wish to exclude from your project and click on the red [Confirm removal] button.

If you just changed your mind about removing any of the keywords from your project, there is a [Cancel] button enabled just for situations like this.

Set Keywords Priority

The [Set priority] menu allows you to assign priorities to your project's keywords through multiple methods:

  • Manually.  You can create your own priorities and type them manually for each keyword.

  • From text file.  You can rapidly assign priorities to your keywords by importing the values from a text file.

  • Google AdWords.  Use Google AdWords metrics to generate and assign priorities to your keywords.

  • Google AdWords API.  You can also use your Google AdWords API key to get metrics and set keywords priority.

  • 7 Search.  Import specific data from 7 Search and use it to set priorities for your keywords.

  • Wordtracker API.  Set the priority using keywords data retrieved from Wordtracker.

Tools

The [Tools] menu packs up other features available for managing your keywords:

  • Export keywords .  If you press the [Export] button you will be able to export your keywords to a file you specify, along with other data you must also choose: export keywords with priority and color, keywords with priority or export keywords only.

  • Translate keywords .  The Keywords Translate feature allows you to translate the keywords added to your project into any available language, using Google Translate.

    First, you need to select the keywords language and the language you want to be translated into. You can select all the keywords to translate by using the [Select] check box or selecting each keyword's check box.

    When all the settings are done, use the [Translate] button for Advanced Web Ranking to start gather translations for your selected keywords.

  • Keywords Spelling .  The Keywords Spelling feature helps you check if the keywords from your projects are correctly spelled. Keywords Spelling uses the Google "Did you mean..." feature of google.com, google.fr, google.de, google.co.uk

    First, select from the drop down list the source that Advanced Web Ranking will use to spell check the keywords of your project and then select the keywords you want to check.

    [Note]Note

    The Keywords Spelling feature is available only for English, French and German.

    When all the settings are done, use the [Check Spelling] button for Advanced Web Ranking to start gather the right spelling for your selected keywords.

    You can also set an action to be taken after the spellcheck is complete: Don't do anything, Replace keywords with spelling, Add spelling as a new keyword. To do that you just need to do a right click on your mouse and select the action from the menu.

Keyword categories

You are also able to filter the keywords by categories. You can select one of those previously created, create a new category or manage the list of categories.

You are able to create simple or complex keyword categories. By clicking the [New] button from the drop down menu, you will create a simple keyword category containing the selected keywords.

If you wish to filter your keywords by certain conditions and thus create categories, you will need to create complex keyword categories. For that, enter the [Keyword categories manager] and click the [New] button. You will set the conditions you want your category keywords to follow and create the keyword category.

If you wish to edit the existing keyword categories, select the [Keywords category manager] from the list and you will be able to edit, delete, duplicate or rename all the keyword categories created.

Click on the color column of a keyword to change its color.

You can also sort your keywords by 3 criteria: the original order of the entries, alphabetical order, by priority or by color.

You can change the original order by moving keywords up, down, send them to the top of the list or to the bottom of the list. For that use the four arrow buttons from the bottom-left corner of the window.

Duplicate (identical) keywords are not allowed, so they will be ignored.
