Little Known Keyword Research Secret: Buying Words

August 28, 2009 by Chuck | 0 Comments

“Keyword research is crucial to online success.”

By now that phrase is a truism akin to “the sky is blue”.

But in the process of finding the RIGHT keyword, people overloow the PURPOSE for the search in the first place.

For instance, the other day, Markus Allen and I were brainstorming keywords for a publishing project.

By clicking one additional button on the Google Adwords External Keyword Tool results, we could

1) Make a content site FAR more profitable for the owner and
2) Automatically determine whether the keyword indicated that “BUYERS” were clicking that term or “Lookers”.

How? By clicking the button over the keyword results that estimates the average cost per click.

If the cost is a nickel per click, odds are nobody’s buying. If the cost is over a dollar per click, odds are that term is used by people who are serious about doing business.

So as you’re choosing your keywords based on “competition” from other websites, also check to see – are these “buying” words?

Wikipedia’s not paying $7 a click for you to read their free content. But we found some advertisers paying that much for a topic related to a particular information product. See what I mean?

Markus also mentioned a site he found optimized for the term “DIY Home Surveillance” and running Adsense Ads. That keyword generates ads paying 5 cents a click. Had the person optimized the site for “DIY Home Security”, the adsense ads generated cost more like $5! One little change can create a 100 fold improvement! Wow!

So that’s the kind of stuff we talked about on our interview.
