As a small business Internet Marketer one of the most incredibly important things that you can do, is to brainstorm new keyword ideas. Most of your competing Internet Marketers put their primary keyword focus on pleasing the search engines, that is why they run into difficulty when working to think up new keyword ideas. The reason for this is not complicated: they aren’t looking for ideas in the right places or taking note of the good ideas that they think up. You should be far more observant and alert when you need tofind good keyword ideas to grow your small business sales and online presence. Listen to customers and the phrases they use, read about your products and services and just search the Internet in your business niche.

How To Get Started With New Keyword Ideas

If want to get a much more clear idea about what people are looking and searching for at any given moment but don’t know how to get started, Google Trends is a good place to start.

People are searching Google for all sorts of stuff and to understand what they’re looking for, this is a very powerful tool. You don’t have to vary from your main niche when you use this tool but be prepared to take the time to dig deeply in the results as it will take some time before you actually find relevant and productive keyword ideas.

It may sound odd but I am encouraging you to watch TV. By closely watching the programs that are related to your small business niche you will find all sorts of keyword ideas. For example, if your site centers on “stock trading” then it’s a good idea to try to find good keywords from the TV shows that are also about this kind of topic. What you’re doing here is looking for “seed” keywords and that means that you are looking beyond the targeted TV programs in an attempt to find ‘long tail’ keywords that relate directly or indirectly to your business niche so that you can implement them into your SEO marketing campaign. These ‘long tail’ keywords are keyword phrases that are 3 words to 8 words in length. These will not have a lot of search volume – but they will be easy to rank for and provide a much more targeted visitor to your small business website.

If you want to go the easy way when looking for root keyword ideas or seed keyword ideas, then why not browse through targeted niche websites related to the topic you’re searching on? Most of these niche websites have been really well researched and have lots and lots of content that has been built to target very specific keywords. If they are on the first page of the google search results they have proven to have relevant content and keyword phrases.

As you dig through these first page websites you will come across many great keyword ideas that are not just relevant and unique but are also quite popular. Once you’ve got a list of these, you can then use keyword research software to drill deeper and explore the possibilities. One popular free choice for keyword research is the Google External Keyword Tool.

You need to remember that the keyword ideas that you choose to grow your business with are the primary foundation to all your online success.
