In my previous post, I introduced Keyword Research Pro without much elaboration. Ok, it is my fault, I am going to explain further how I benefit from this tool in today post.

First, you can get Keyword Research Pro (in short, I named it as KRP throughout this post) from this official page.

Today, I plan to promote some affiliate products related to gardening, so I open up my KRP and enter the keyword “gardening”.

However, what I will do differently today is I am not going to use its default setting, 150 keywords. Instead, I check all the search engines and increase the number of keywords limit to be 10,000!!

In less than 22 minutes, I found 10,000 keywords (in fact, it can goes beyond 10,000 keywords). I then export the list into .csv format. You can download the keyword list here in Excel format.

(gardening.xls)

Ok, with 10,000 keywords, what next?

I am going to use the “Keyword Analyzer” function and look for high KEI value keywords with some Google Ads.

What is KEI?

Key Effectiveness Index (KEI) is the the ratio of the square of the searches upon a particular keyword in a day divided by the number of websites that are listed for that keyword.  (Source:http://www.web1marketing.com/glossary.php?term=KEI)

For example, a keyword that has 100 searches a day and for which Google shows 5000 websites would have a KEI of 2.

KEI = (100 * 100) / 5000 = 2

 

Therefore, the high KEI value means high volume of searches everyday but only few websites contain information for this search item.

 

  
(you need to click this picture to enlarge)

Once you enlarge the picture above, you will see I highlighted the keyword “gardening desert” and “desert gardening”. This keyword is having a GComp value of 705, it means Google allintitle search for desert gardening is 710.

The KRP second parameter says Google Volume for “desert gardening” = 8100, it means if you search the Local Search Volume using Google Keyword Tools, the search number for month of June is 8100.

With this the KEI = 8100 * 8100 / 705 = 93063.83

The other criteria I am looking at is Google Ads for this search term. I will look for Ads (number of competitors) less than 20 to save on my PPC cost.

It appears there are only 16 Google Ads for desert gardening. Click on the link, KRP will then show you what are the 16 ads about:

You can see from here, KRP shows CPC broad data because people are bidding on Broad Search for desert garden which include hotel names. And, I have a quick comparison with Spyfu.com. The result is fair enough.

Next Step: Finding the Affiliate to promote

There is no easier to find affiliate program related to “desert gardening” than this.

Conclusion:

The only shortfall I see in KRP is it will not generate a warning message if you accidentally close the program. All your search results will be gone and I need to start all over again.

Overall, I enjoy the whole niche research process, for this case study on “Gardening”, it takes less than 40 minutes to complete. The results I generated are almost as accurate as if I do it manually extracting the data from Google search engines, Google Keyword Tools and Google Ads. Keyword Research Pro save my research time at least 1.5 hours per keyword! And, most importantly, this high search volume but low competition keyword will bring me some good affiliate income, I know, because I have paid off the cost of this tool just in 2 days time ; )

Additional Note:

1. In order to dominate the niche “desert gardening”, you need to know what is it about and what to write about. So, it is best to use the Google Wonder Wheel to generate some article ideas.

2. Once you have the keyword ideas, use AnswerAnalyst to generate quality articles to submit to article directories, Squidoo and Hubpages.

I am currently trying out the Google Wonder Wheel features.

Based on the GWW Team’s explanation, it defines Google Wonder Wheel as “is a wheel (of wonder) which shows related search terms to the current searched query and thus enable you to explore relevant search terms which might be the ones you originally wanted to search for, or simply give you more options to gain more information.”

A simple illustration, let say I type the “rank high on Google” in Google search box.

Click the Google Search button, and on the search result page, click on the “Show options”.

Here you go, the Google Wonder Wheel is here:

When you click on the “Wonder Wheel”, you will see the phrase “rank high on Google” is related to “rank high on search engines” and “search engine optimization ranking”.

(Click here if you can’t see the screenshot clearly.)

If you click on the search engine optimization ranking, the related keywords and keyphrase will all appear!

So, what you can do with Google Wonder Wheel?

1. Idea for articles. Use all these keywords to generate ideas to write articles. These are good starting points if you are stuck with ideas to write articles.

2. Turn you into expert. If you are reaching on a topic which is totally new to you, like H1N1, the Google Wonder Wheel will show you the related topics to this subject. In this case, you not only know about H1N1, you also learn about swine flu, H3N2, H5N1 and influenza virus. This tool can turns you into an expert in any area within few minutes. Impress your kid and your spouse today! ; )

3.  Pick up technical jargons. Before go to the dinner with your boss tonight, pick up some jargons using Google Wonder Wheel, impress your boss and customers. ; )

Leave me a comment and tell me what you do with this wonder. ; )
