Thanks Tommie for the fresh insights: Twitter, Youtube, Amazon, eBay are rich sources of trending buyers' (longtailed) keywords. Works best for old website/blog.

Good insight. Long tailed (buyers) keywords could be generated from a number of sources, as already stated above. I completely agree that going for the top 10 high ranking keywords is usually difficult to rank high for organically, more difficult for a new websit/blog.
Going for a less competitive keywords in the range 10,000 -20,000 has been helpful. I recommend it. Making those keywords your anchor texts would also improve your organic ranking.
Remember that to sustain your traffic and ranking, buyers' keywords are just a bit of the pie. You must integrate social media, and have useful, relevant and dynamic contents.
Infact, if well integrated you gain comments, sharing, and backlinking. These are human votes that SEO 2.0 is all about. Google Panda, in my opinion, loves this. And so do you. Isn't it?

you can get tons of keywords from youtube. But I personally use market samurai to get keywords from competitors.

I love the thought of using an online theraurus, very basic, but powerful. In the race to use the latest and greatest resources for keyword research, I think we sometimes forget that some very basic tools, when used properly, can help greatly improve our keyword mix.

Thanks for providing me with the right tool to help broaden my SEO keyword research.

Hey Paul,

Yes, there are times that I look at the CPC. It depends on the kind of site I’m doing the research for. If I’m working on a site that is monetized with advertising it can give me an idea of where advertising dollars are being spent. It’s also an indication of the competitiveness for PPC, which would mean that if I can rank organically I’ll be saving a lot of money!

Curious if you look at the tool to see the cost per click and if that makes any determination on whether or not you will attempt to go after certain keywords?

It also helps to look at what your competitors are trying to rank for too. See what they might be trying to outrank you on that you can use to benefit later from.

Check out Jon from Wickedfire’s blog about doing keyword research…he talks about some good strategies there. I think the post is titled Enough B.S. Let’s Make Some Money…

“YouTube, Twitter, and other social networks really are great places to get keyword ideas from.”

So true, social networks are great for additional keyword ideas – and advice! I found the link to this article by searching for “keyword research” through search.twitter.com.

It’s also worthwhile to search the most competitive term, in the article example above for “weight loss” and scan the title tags of anyone in the top 10. Doing this I notice the keywords “weight control” and “diet plans” are used a lot.
