Free Keywords Research Tool Using Yahoo Website

With countless free and paid tools on keywords research out there, I would say the best tools to give you accurate information is from the source itself and it is FREE. Here’s one.

Today, I will share to you a simple keyword research technique using Yahoo! website that many researchers have overlooked.

Yahoo! improved their website user interface to better server searches by introducing a new feature called “Search Assist.”

This feature tries to anticipate what the user is about to search by giving them lists of possible words or phrases that a user about to type.

Let’s have an example. Say you have a website or plan to build a site about “dogs”. Go to their main website at http://www.yahoo.com.

You should see at the very top of the a search box similar to the image below.

Now, start to slowly type in the word “dog”. Immediately yahoo will list down text related words that are searched frequently. As you finished typing a word, you will see more related terms.

If you type a space after the word “dog”, another set of phrases or words will be presented to you. Go ahead and play around with. Start gathering these words and put it on your master list.

You can also find this tool useful if you’re searching for a niche keywords.

Let’s have another example. If your site is about “dog training”, type the term slowly in the search box and you should see keywords and phrases. Don’t forget to scroll down by clicking the arrow down to see more keywords.

Google has its own version of this tool but not through their website. You have to install and use google toolbar. I’ll tackle that on my next post.

So that’s it. Happy keyword hunting.
