Brainstorming for keywords is the process of generating root keyword ideas. So, today I will discuss exclusively on the brainstorming process. I will not discuss on how to select an individual keyword to target or how to use software tools to generate additional ideas
Sit down in quiet place with a good cup of coffee or tea. Write down each and every potential keyword or key phrase that comes to mind. You can do this alone, or in a group with your coworkers or friends.
Way of Brainstorm Your Keyword
- Assume you are a completely new, novice customer. Assume you know next to nothing. What keywords would you type into Google?
- Ask Someone. When all else fails, ask your friends, wife, family, or other for ideas. If your brain is stuck for ideas, try someone elses brain for a little bit.
- Are there are any specific “helper” words that you might use? Common helper words specify geographic locality. Eg Seo Service in Bangladesh, Cheap Seo Service etc.
- Look Around You. The items you see on your desk, in your room, or anything else within view can often be great root keyword ideas.
- Watch TV. Write down the names of TV shows, products sold during commercials, or even the items you see during the TV show. All of these items can be used as seed keywords.
- Go Shopping. Wal-Mart (and other stores) holds hundreds of thousands of items, and all of these could technically be a root keyword.
- Go to the Library. Book titles are a GREAT way to find niche ideas.
- Pick up a Newspaper or Magazine. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Get the juices flowing by simply writing down what you are seeing on the page.
- Look at Online Ads. I have used this a few times. When I am browsing other websites, I will take note of what is being advertised on the site and the specific keywords that are in the ads. This can very often lead me to think about niches that I probably wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
