The SBI Mall

Here’s another cool tip, along the lines of using Google to come up with new ideas, described in this post:

Please follow along with me in this exercise as I perform the steps.

Go to Google, and type one of your keywords. Could be your site concept keyword, or a tier 2 keyword, or whatever. Just type one, and see what happens.

On the left side of the results page, you will notice a link called “Show Options” just below the Google logo:

That’s the link you need to click. The one circled in red. Go ahead, do it. And I hope you are performing this little exercise for one of your own keywords.

(By the way, I don’t rank #1 for “plr articles”… yet. But watch me climb up the rankings soon, hehe. My site is plr-packs.com.)

Anyway, once you click that link, a menu will open up on the left side:

Click the link where the arrow points in the screenshot above.

Here’s what you will see now:

As you can see, Google shows you a “wheel” with all these “spokes” each pointing to a related keyword. Go ahead and click one of the keywords that interest you, to dig deeper. Don’t forget to take note of any keywords that you saw here first.

Upon clicking one of the keywords in the spokes, you get something like this:

As you can see, another wheel popped up from the spoke you clicked, displaying more spokes and more keywords. The original wheel with the keywords is now a bit faded, but you can still click one of the keywords if it catches your eye.

As you go on clicking from wheel to wheel, spoke to spoke, keyword to keyword, you can keep gathering more and more ideas for pages and keywords. Even niches.

And of course, on the right side of the wonder wheel, you see the regular search results for the keyword you are searching on.

This is a great way to build your list to supplement what the Brainstormer shows you. It’s not automated and cool like the Brainstormer, but it can still give you some great ideas in your keyword research.

And best of all, it gives you a peek inside the “brain” of Google’s algorithms. You can see what keywords are related to your niche, according to Google. You can also see what keywords are closely related to EACH OTHER (spokes on the same wheel). And you can shape your site’s structure using this information.

Google itself is telling us what it thinks about our site. Why not take a few minutes (or even hours) to listen?

What do you think? Any other ways this data can be used?
