Once you have a clean list of search terms, you can extract the list in one of two ways:
E-mail the list to yourself or to a colleague
“Export” the list
Note, however, that there are a number of different ways to extract keywords, from various Wordtracker screens. For more information, see Other ways to export keywords.
E-mailing the List
When you click the Email Keywords icon, the Email window opens. You can choose to send a simple list, like this:
1, 198, 179, putters
2, 123, 111, golf putters
3, 96, 87, ping putters
4, 88, 79, putter
5, 88, 79, odyssey putters
6, 69, 62, scotty cameron putters
7, 58, 52, golf putter
8, 42, 38, putter heads
9, 39, 35, odyssey putter
10, 37, 33, blade putters
Or you can use a CSV (Comma Separated Variable) list. This is designed for easy import into a spreadsheet or database program, or even a word-processing program. Actually it’s not, strictly speaking, a CSV file; rather than using a comma, it uses an @ sign to separate fields, so it looks like this:
1@198@179@putters
2@123@111@golf putters
3@96@87@ping putters
4@88@79@putter
5@88@79@odyssey putters
6@69@62@scotty cameron putters
7@58@52@golf putter
8@42@38@putter heads
9@39@35@odyssey putter
10@37@33@blade putters
How do you import the delimited data into a spreadsheet or database program?
Save the contents of the e-mail you receive in a text file
Remove all additional content from the text file (header, footer, and so on)
Use your spreadsheet or database program’s Open or Import function to open the text file or import the data from it.
When your program asks you what sort of data the file contains, select delimited.
When the program asks the type of delimiter is used, select Other, and type @.
Different programs work differently, of course, but good spreadsheet and database programs should have a similar function to that described and shown above.
How about importing into a word-processing program:
Copy the contents of the e-mail, and paste it into the word-processing program.
Open the Search and Replace tool.
Tell the tool to search for @, and replace it with a tab character (in Microsoft Word, you’ll type ^t to indicate a tab).
Exporting the List
You can also open the list in a secondary window, and copy it from there. Click the Export Keywords icon, and the secondary window opens.
Once you’ve opened the window, you can get the data from the window into another application:
Select the text (in Windows you can just press Ctrl+A).
Copy the text (in Windows press Ctrl+C).
Paste the text into another application.
