Longtail Keyword Research with Google Suggest Scraper
Thought I’d share a method of longtail keyword research I’ve started experimenting with recently. It uses two clever tools that have become an important part of my keyword research arsenal: Market Samurai (aff) and Ubersuggest.
Google Suggest seems to give you many more broad match terms than what Google’s Keyword tool does, so using a keyword scraper to fetch them combined with a research tool like Market Samurai will give you lots of juicy long-tails to investigate. It’s like panning for gold, you won’t find huge nuggets but you will find some golf flecks.
The method is really very simple…
Ubersuggest is a tool that scrapes Google Suggest terms. So head over there, type in your generic terms and see what comes out. Let’s use Dog Training as the example, (heck, everyone else is doing it):
As you can see, we get a nice long list of long tail keywords (interesting to note the geo terms in there). Now, do the search again, this time making sure your language/country are checked as well as the TXT box. Doing this will export a txt file of all the Google suggest terms.
Once you’ve saved the text file list, open it up so we can copy the terms.
Open up Market Samurai, start a new project and paste your keywords into the Add Keywords field:
If you’re a seasoned Market Samurai user, you’ll know what to do from here. If not, just hit the Keyword Analysis button, then the Analyze Keywords button in the following screen. MS will then pull all the stats on each of the long-tails.
You could of course, use Google’s own keyword tool, but you can only paste 100 words into keyword search field.
Happy long-tail hunting.
