Comments on: How to Do Clever Keyword Research http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/how-to-do-clever-keyword-research A blog by Prelovac Media CEO Vladimir Prelovac Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:37:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Delbert Kimhttp://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/how-to-do-clever-keyword-research/comment-page-2#comment-24314 Delbert Kim http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/?p=1360#comment-24314 Thank you very much for this article. I learned so much from it.I was confused about one thing - In step 3, when you searched for competitors using the keyword "shaving razors", I don't understand why you searched for the competitors using phrase match. Most users who are searching with those keywords will not put quotations around their searches, therefore making their results broad. I think it would be more accurate to see which competitor is ranking first when the keyword does not have quotations around it. Thank you very much for this article. I learned so much from it.

I have the same approach to find my keywords but I don't use MozRank because in France (I'm French) this indicator isn't reliable at all. I think that it works good with US sites but not with French. I'm wondering if you use Microsoft's tool "Online Commercial Intention" when you work with keywords which goal is not to sell. For exemple: lawyers, investment bank, school etc. Great post Vladimir.

Do you feel the commercial intention metric still apply when you're optimizing for an AdSense site that's not actually selling anything?

Thanks anyway, I will look again. I looked through it several times but could not locate the answers, I also looked through the SEO Doctor page as well. Thanks anyway, I will look again.

I was looking at the excel sheet and can see that you have a value generally in the tens for strength (1.0 - 10.0) I am trying to figure out if you're getting this from using SEO Doctor stats (percentage) for Firefox. Considering 100% as 1.0 etc etc.Thanks a bunch Hi Vlad, Vitaliy here again, and with another question.

I've been doing something similar for a long time but not as intense so I am very happy to give this a try.I am currently building my excel workbook for this and am wondering if when running your search on Google to figure out strength, do you run your search with or without quotes? Running it with quotes limits your search on Google but at the same time if you are proposing running Google's keyword tool using the phrase setting, this would include the quotes.Thanks a bunch and by the way, it looks like Microsoft's Online Commercial Intent page doesn't load up. It might be something for the moment and I will check it again tomorrow but maybe it's just dead.Thanks again and I look forward to your reply.Vitaliy Vladimir, thanks for the post, a very interesting approach to keyword research.

I agree with every comment made, about the clarity and the ease of research concerning your information. This is truly selfless on your part. I always read sites like this, but I ABSOLUTELY never subscribe to them. But I have made an exception in your case. Keep up the excellent work and I will Definitely browse your archives.

The 1,000,000 makes keyword searches with fewer results look better than they are in some cases. I guess you just need to keep that in mind when looking at your results. I was wondering that also.

In any case since the goal of keyword research is to find best subset of keywords within a large set, the absolute values are not as important - if the tool is wrong it is likely to be wrong the same for all keywords. We are more interested in relative values here. I have found keyword tool pretty accurate for projects I have been working on.
