Actually testing a new keyword tool, still be interested to get a client with the project ROI that can include using Compete.com as a research tool.

Here’s another brand-new search engine;
Feedmil.

You can perform anything possible in other search engines such as yahoo or google, plus, you can control ‘popularity bar’ to access more easily to what you need.

First of all thanks for the nice article.

I also collect relevant keywords on a Excel Sheet which help me to get the most relevant keyword at a glance.

Thanks again for good article on Keyword Research!!

@Adam, of course, you will then broaden the scope. But first you need to squeeze the most of what you already have.

Thanks a million for posting. I guess I always assumed that people would do this. It makes no sense to try to steer an established site in a completely different direction. Even if you are not happy with it, you are going to try for new phrases that are “near by” based on the current traffic patterns. No?

Great article.

Its more difficult with an existing site IMHO as there are other factors to consider including current rankings and stats.

@SFGreg, no I actually meant “Google search referrals”. This is accessed from traffic sources (click Google then).

simply watch the keywords that bring you traffic today and keep hammering away at those.

Ann, when you say, “1. Look at the top referrals first,” are you talking about “Referring Sites” in Google Analytics, or are you talking about looking at your organic traffic and segmenting by keyword? Thanks!
