Using Keyword Elite For Building a Massive Keyword List
By Charles Amith
When I first started doing research for building niche lists, I turned to Overture. With Overture, I could freely type in a and it would generate a list of up to 100 keywords that contained the one I typed in. The problem occured when I wanted to build a list of thousands.
After reading dozens of internet marketing books, I realized that the fee-based Wordtracker was the most reliable and popular one. I've used it many times and thought it was the best research tool. I could type in a primary keyword, and then a bunch of related keywords could be displayed. I could then dig deeper into each to build a larger list of keywords. After using Overture and Wordtracker for some time, there were still some features left to be desired:
Automatic digging
More data sources
Automatic KEI calculations
Automatic Digging
With this Elite feature, I could just type in a primary and set a limit to how many keywords I wanted. Overture doesn't have any automatic digging feature. If I wanted to display more keywords related to one on the list of results, I would have to click on the text link to query more results. With Wordtracker, it was pretty much the same. There was a dig icon that I would have to click on. It would then query that as it did with the primary.
Keyword Elite has this feature built in. It prompts the user to type in a and the amount of results that you want to have. You could select 100 to 10,000 keywords. So based on you primary keyword, it will automatically dig into the primary and then into it's results. This is a great time saving feature. You could enter and submit the initial parameters, take a lunch break, and then come back with thousands of keywords on your PC.
More Data Sources
With more data sources, the tool would be more accurate. You would have a larger data sample representing a larger amount of keywords that people actually searched for. Since Overture's suggestion tool is a product of Yahoo Search Marketing, it's results are pretty restricted. With Wordtracker, it's data only comes from meta-search engines. So again, the results are limited.
With Elite, you have a plethora of databases and retrieval options. The main options are Overture, Google's suggestion tool, and Teoma's database (Ask.com). In addition to that, you could even grab meta keywords from websites related to your primary keyword. Having these options are great, considering that Google and Yahoo are the primary websites for browsing the net.
So what if Wordtracker had some data that the other data sources didn't? The great thing about Elite is that it cover's some area's that Wordtracker does not. You can actually integrate Wordtracker into Elite. Another option that you have is integrating Discovery as well. So instead of being only limited to the 36 million unique searches that Wordtracker has, you're able to unlock 580 million from Discovery. Keep in mind that Wordtracker
