Generating seed keyword ideas is called Brainstorming for Keywords. After finding these
seed keywords we plug them into keyword research tools which will help to generate extra
ideas and select eventually a single keyword to target for your niche website.
I will not focus on how to select an individual keyword to target or how to advanced tools
to generate extra ideas we will cover this in future blogs. In this blog, we will discuss
on brainstorming seed keywords process.
Believe this process as where to get starting ideas which you can then find and branch out
those keywords which are a gem. In this blog, we have mentioned a total of 15 effective ways you can
give your brain a “jumpstart” when you think you cannot come up with any idea of your own.
After that, we will talk about using tools that can be used to brainstorm.
How to Brainstorm for Keyword Ideas
There are countless methods to that scope from the dull to the very inspirational.
I have made a list of ways to generate root keywords ideas to help you develop more
of a system that can be followed when you are having a “mental block”.
- Look Around You – All the items you see in the room, your desk, anywhere else
which is within the view which can often be a right root keyword idea. - Watch TV – Write down the names of Shows which appear on the TV, products that are sold
during the commercial, and in you see during the TV series. All of them can be
used as seed keywords. - Go Shopping – Stores like Walmart hold 100 of 1000 items, and all of these can become
technically a root keyword. When you are looking at stuff don’t just write down the same name of the stuff like Adidas Doug Collins,
(that’s a great idea although to write it down also) you write also items which are generic
or items which are similar – like “sneakers”, “shoes”, cricket ball, “basketball shoes”.
Notice Carefully how these items turned into a potential 6-keyword root and could be more. - Using Google Trends – See what people are Searching for on Google after doing to Google Hot
trends. - Use Amazon Products, Descriptions, Categories, and best sellers – Amazon has items with
millions of numbers which make millions of root keywords items. Look at Categories not just product
names and the words you see within the description which will help to spark new ideas. Browse
through Amazon Bestsellers of all categories to see the top-selling items. - Use eBay Categories and Products – If you go to the categories listings page on eBay you will see so many
categories than usual I have found this category to be helpful for you. You can
browse items individually but this will take a lot of time and teaches. “See All Categories” if you
click you will find more details or information. For instance, the “See All Collectibles Categories” page is here.
Thousands (maybe ten thousand) of keyword which is root right there. You can use one more
the feature is ebay pulse which will help you see hot and top-selling items. - Use Affiliate Networks – Log into any number of affiliate networks and browse the product
and READ the other keywords which are used in the description of those products if you are stuck for ideas.
Commission Junction, ClickBank, Neverblue Ads, Linkshare, etc are some examples of affiliate networks that
I used. - Go to the Library – Book the title which are Great ways to find ideas for niches. The
library’s most obscure section is probably a pretty big niche online. The Library just
doesn’t have space to include all the tiny niches found online. So take a walk through the
library of isles and this could keep you busy with keywords for months or years. - Use Google Instant – Google Instant I am not a huge fan of this Personally. (it makes me
forgot what I was going to type in because of all the random ideas it throws up that’
why i am not a huge fan of this) but it takes to be a great way to generate root keyword ideas.
Type simply a few letters and check on Google some of the results. Try starting with
letters which are random or type in any word which pops into your mind; the suggestions given
can lead your mind into so many niches which are riches in them. - Try Wikipedia – You need to start with some basic query before anything pulls up for Wikipedia, you can
find lots of root keywords ideas within the text once you start reading the keyword. - Read Forums- Visit Big Boards to browse which are the biggest forums online or Go to your favorite forum.
You can easily find 1000+ forums that people are passionate about – which makes usually most of
the great niches. You can find some great root keywords. - Pick up a Magazine or Newspaper – This is one pretty self-explanatory. Get the juice flowing
by writing simply writing down what you are seeing on the page. - Look at Online Ads – Few times I have used this. I take notes of what is being advertised when I browse
other sites and specific keywords which are in the ads. I found that the owner of the site is linking to
lots of niches with others sites (which they most likely operate and own as well). I will try to discover the keywords which are targeted
and use these as root keywords once I find the network. - Copy Other Niche Websites – I used this gem so many times. Often simply browsing other niche
websites or doing keyword research, I will find that the owner of the site is linking to lots of other niche
sites (which they most likely operate or own). I will try to discover the keywords they are targeting and
use these as root keywords once I find a network of niche websites. - Ask Someone – If your brain is stuck for ideas, try someone else brain for a little bit, ask your friends, wife,
family.
