Google’s Search-based Keyword Tool – Cold Sweats Not Included!

Google’s Search-based Keyword Tool – Cold Sweats Not Included!

Do you lie awake at night worrying about the keywords you’re NOT targeting in your Google AdWords campaign?

Yeah, me neither.

But, if you ever wake up in that cold sweat you’ll now have access to a new tool from Google called the Search-based Keyword Tool. What does it do?

Based on your URLs, the Search-based Keyword Tool displays a list of relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com (and on other Google search properties, such as google.co.uk) with some frequency over the past year…The Search-based Keyword Tool compares your website and current AdWords campaigns against actual, past Google search queries to identify additional keywords that might be relevant for your campaigns. The tool compiles a list of search queries relevant to your website that don’t already appear in your AdWords campaigns.

The tool is available to US and UK users and is the perfect solution for those setting up their AdWords campaign–and don’t know which keywords to start with–or those of us that worry that we have a few gaps in our keyword list.

Enjoy!

Great tool. It came up with some relevant keywords to my blog. I also like the interface and the javascript grid they decided to use.

Sounds like a nice tool. But I think It still contains some bugs…as it displayed some really weird results…

I did a couple quick comparisons between that tool and the google external keyword tool (link below), and it looks like they’re essentially spitting out the same results…..repackaging the same info…..unless I missed something?

Google’s keyword tools are just getting better and better. I wasn’t aware of this one, pity it is only for US and UK users. South African data is scarce!
