Keyword Research Guide 24 November 2006
We created a fictional company, Virginia Veg, and asked experts to provide real answers to the problems facing its CEO, Susan Webster. The result is an e-book packed with insight, tips, and techniques on keyword research that you can apply easily to your own website.

i'm looking foward to getting started
Excellent Guide, Thanks
It was a wonderful thing I get!
That was great! Lots of points I had not thought about. I am a telecom broker focusing on the market for T1 lines in the Baltimore, Maryland area. I help companies source their T1 connections for both voice and data. In acting as a Telecom consultant, I also have had to learn more and more about internet marketing. There is a lot of competition out there for me to deal with and reading this guide has opened my eyes to a lot of other possibilities in marketing my telecom services through using different keywords and ways to figure out which ways will work for me. I think one of the first things I am going to do is write a research guide for How to buy a T1 line using a lot of the keywords recomended by wordtracker and make it avaiilable for download on my website - just like you have done here. Thanks so much for everything!
This is a great product for getting your site to market, Thanks so much
I have been recommending this guide to my clients and subscribers. The guide makes it easy to identify your best keywords, whatever your business or topic, and put them to work for you. Great job!
It is very nice. I'm Happy.. Thanks
Great Guide. I love it!
For your keyword research try using KeywordSpy - a keyword research technology that will help you know what keywords your competitors are using and how it generates money for them, you can use those keywords to drive traffic to your site and give your business the exposure it needs. It offers Free trials.
It goes with a ClickBank Affiliates Search Engine where you can see the actual market landscape at ClickBank.
Looking forward to getting started with SEO, this guide looks brilliant.
Looks like a great resource. I can't wait to get started.
Keyword Research Guide presents the case study in easy steps. It also helps to learn how to use wordtracker for keyword analysis.
Thank you for providing such valuable information.
This guide is a really good primer for getting started. The concept of creating a fictional company and then working through the eyes of the company owner is very good. I picked up a lot of helpful information on the first read. Thanks.
Hi. I really liked the report. I am working on getting my computer repair web site set up for marketing to the Baltimore Maryland metro area. I am really interetsted in some of the things the report said about identifying niches such as computer repair for senior citizens which is one of the niches we excel in. I am going to be creating pages for the different niches and also creating educational articles on each niche. I thought it might also be helpful to create educational pdf files that can easily be printed by our prospective or existing customers. Computer repair is a fairly competitive business, so I will be using many of the ideas presented. Thanks so much for this educational report - the various things I have read from wordtracker.com have been excellent training materials. If you are ever in the Baltimore Maryland Area and want to get together to talk about computers or seo just check the contact info at my link.
I love ebooks about seo and sem. And also this one is very helpful and written on the way an ebook should be written, you just keep reading. Excellent work and many thanks for the information!
An easy read with great advice when planning a new venture. Wordtracker is an invaluable service for the serious entrepreneur - I wouldn't be without it.
I'm a REALTOR in a very competitive south Florida market and need to raise the ranking of my site to remain competitive. I'm thrilled to find this tool and can't wait to put my http://www.LongboatMLS.com under your microscope and raise its ranking. I'll keep you informed of progress. Thanks for the free trial. Joe

I read this in about an hour and will refer back to it many times in the future. It's a really easy and straightforward practical guide which I'll recommend to others without hesitation. Thanks - Ewan Kennedy.
I wish I did a better job remembering to recommend this guide to some of the newer people who visit my site. I haven't quite found the proper placement.
Even though I've advertised extensively myself on the PPC networks and have used WordTracker for years for some reason the existence of this guide, although when I do remember I like to come back to it as a refresher.
Thank you for this. It will prove to be worth the read especially those on the SEO beginner's road.

I have been using wordtracker for awhile, they are very helpful, always give me some idea for more keywords. Also this book is very helpful, easy to read with funny image (for me) and easy to understand. Great job! Thank you very much.
very intresting tools ... thanks alot
We've struggled to rank and have had a number of problems with bad SEO prior to this. Using wordtracker has been great and this guide and the tutorials have been really helpful to ensure we are going about things correctly. Now for the link building !
Well written and well-thought-out. I appreciate the time that you guys put into compiling this guide. I feel like I have a "compass" now to give me direction.
Wordtracker was recommended to me. Now, after using it for one year, I'd recommend it to anyone wanting better website traffic and search engine optimization of your keywords. Glen Woodfin
Very interesting guide, thank you very much.
This is a great e-book which explains very clearly why, and how to use keywords for research and to determine if you niche is going to be profitable.
Good !
Nice sharing, thanks !
This is very helpful in researching for keywords. Thanks.
I really enjoyed reading the e-book because getting targeted traffic seems to be the hardest part when building my list. The fictional case study was a great idea and I'm going to recommend it on my site.
James Nissen
hey,is this e-book broken or something? i can open it and all but theres no text just weirds sign things all over, im german... whats wrong?
Hi Marcel. Sorry to hear you're having problems. The ebook downloads fine for me. I've emailed you to see if we can get to the bottom of what's going wrong for you.
Webtracker is completley useless if you are working in a language other than English.
Great products for keywords research. it's useful guides to the very first step on web marketing... Good job & success always.
I found the book very interesting and readable. Well done to all who contributed. I particularly liked Robin Good's answer with the detailed drill down and expand technique. That may well be the thing missing from my current efforts.
I read recently in another book on keyword research that Google have claimed that fully 50% of the 200,000,000 daily searches and unique keyword sets.
What this means to us attempting to maximise SE traffic is that we should follow the advice of Nick Osbourne and concentrate on the article rather than the keywords.
The new searches are more likely to find a well written and relevent article on the overall subject than a tightly focussed, keyword stuffed article on a phrase they didn't use.
I think you might have finally convinced me that I really do need to use Wordtracker ;-)
Regards Brent
