WikiWix: Additional Help with Your Keyword Research

August 20, 2009 By

You may question the reliability of Wikipedia articles but what is for sure is that Wikipedia’s targeted internal interlinking model makes it is great for (initial) keyword and topic research in terms of analyzing the base word associated, related and neighboring terms.

WikiWix is one of the newest (to me) web-based search tools that takes advantage of Wikipedia’s interlinked data base and makes real sense of it offering keyword researchers great opportunities for additional topic insight.

Let’s see from an example how WikiWix can be used for keyword research:

Let’s say [diabetes] is our base word we want to research, so we search it on WikiWix to get the following:

1. The list of all Wikipedia articles associated with the word. Each listing contains a short abstract from the Wikipedia page, the date and time when the entry was last modified and the page external links (!).

Additionally: You can click "Associated categories" to see the list of related topics for each listing:

Associated articles - Wikipedia

2.Related terms taken from Wiktionary:

Wikiwix: related terms from Wiktionary

3. Related entries from Wikisource;

4. Related quotes from Wikiquote;

5. Related articles from Wikiversity:

6. Related news from Wikinews;

WikiWix - Wikinews

7. Related books from Wikibooks;

8. "Related vocabulary" (probably based on WikiWix internal search behavior analysis).

Wikiwix - related vocabulary

    Excellent post Ann, I really wondered when there would be a tool that could be utilized to explore the Wiki world of words. This is definitely a creative way of using WikiWix as a keyword research tool. I’ll have to test this out.

    I think it must be a good tool for semantic keywords core analysis.

    Didn’t even see the byline in my feedreader, but knew it had to be Ann Smarty based on how specific, targeted, and useful the post was. Thanks again, Ann.

    I agree with Wikipedia’s founder Jimmy Wales that Wikipedia should not be used for serious research but I hadn’t really explorer this keyword angle on Wikipedia. You have given us some very useful information here. Thank you!
