First you need to register for Google AdWords so you can use their keyword tool - http://adwords.google.com When you have registered, go to the Keyword Tool - http://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordTool.
In this tool you can enter a keyword, for example college, and tool will list all related keywords and show you the search volume, more green - more searched. You can click on the link "month Search Volume" to sort keywords by popularity.
Now you can select in the "Choose data to display:" - Cost and Ad Position Estimate. Now it asks you how much are you willing to bid for keyword. If you enter for example 1€ the tool will show you in which position your ad will most probably appear (this tool thinks you are advertiser, not publisher).
Now look at the "Estimated Ad Position" field and search for those keywords which show 4-6 or bigger position. This means for this keyword is a big advertiser competition so advertiser will have to pay more to get in the first three position. This is most probably your high paid keyword. In our example those are keywords "art colleges" and "find a college". But this list is now sorted by search popularity so keywords on higher position are more searched so our winner is "art colleges".
But the work is not over. Now you need to check your competition. Go to www.google.com, enter your keyword and search. Open all first ten search results and examine those sites, if they are really quality sites with a lot of backlinks, if their domain is quite old and check everything else you can think of. If there are only 3 or less quality sites then you have chance to appear high in Google results but if there is 10 or more high quality sites then it is better to find another keyword. |
