Quick Updates and A Quick Google Keyword Tip
Wow! It has been more than a month since I last posted. So where was I? In case you are wondering if I went missing forever, I have not. The last month was busy and I was away in Japan for about 2 weeks on holidays. It was quite cooling in Hokkaido and the lavender fields were beautiful! Tokyo’s weather was quite terrible – it was hot! But my wife and I had a great time at DisneySea.
Overall, it was an enjoyable trip and now that I am back, it is time to get back to posting more good stuff for you guys.
I am going to post a quick keyword tip here for all bum marketers and practically all internet marketers. Keyword research as you know by now is a must. Whether you are using it for Pay-Per-Click aka Google Adwords or for SEO and bum marketing, it is the one most critical component.
Google’s external keyword tool is now an improved version, providing approximate monthly search counts for any keyword you search. Here’s the link to the free keyword tool.

Previously, there are no figures and you probably have to second guess what the search volume toolbar means for each individual word.
If you are a bum marketer looking for a quick keyword to target, the search volumes should give you a good idea of the traffic each keyword will attract. Also, if you notice that the advertiser competition is high, ie a full bar, chances are it is profitable for the advertisers.
This should pass the first litmus test. Then, I will go to Google.com to run a search using “keyword” and allintitle: keyword.
If both shows a low result, probably in the range of lower than 5,000 for “keyword” and 1,000 for allintitle: keyword, then I will target this for bum marketing with articles at EzineArticles, Squidoo and HubPages.
But there is more to Google’s keyword tool. Notice that there is a small section on the left hand that says “Results are tailored to”. Try to fiddle with the drop-down menu, it will give you a good grasp of how much traffic each keyword is attracting from different countries in the world.
This should be useful for PPC marketers who are targeting geographically. Even for bum marketers, you can try to plan your content to contain keywords for those specific countries. For example, if you notice that a keyword looks promising with decent search volumes in Canada, perhaps you can mention about “Canada” in your article content and title to draw some relevance to it. So, for illustration’s purpose, say the keyword is “make money online”, you can try creating content based on the keyword “make money online in Canada”.

Hi Davion,
I recently opted in for your free report and I have to tell you it’s right on.
Thanks for creating such a valuable tool.
One question regarding the ability to print out the information. Was that for security purposes?
I personally do better with info I can print out and make constant references to. Anyway
thanks for sharing your expertise.
To Your Continued Success,

Hey Davion,
Thanks for pointing this out to us. I go back and forth between two keyword tools when doing keyword research, Google’s being one of them, so this is good to know about.
As far as checking out keyword results in other countries is concerned, what I’ve been noticing of late is that the SERPs are tougher in the U.S. to rank high on than when someone is using Google to search in another country. My search results in Google Australia, England, and Canada rank higher for both ezine articles and website pages than in the U.S. version of the Google search engine. Possibly because there is more competition in the U.S. Google version for these high search results spots.
Anyway, just wanted to pass that tidbit along to others who might benefit from knowing this. Don’t despair. While you may not be able to get too high a ranking in the U.S., there’s plenty of opportunity to rank high for your web pages and directory articles in other countries. I’ve had good luck capturing English, Australian, and other country’s buyers on my affiliate websites.

Ive found a half decent keyword with a million searches and blank competition but no use to me, maybe someone else could use it for something (It’s a bit vague): pro 2008.
Nice post

Actually i really want to say Google adwords has nothing to do with organic search listings. I just used it for my PPC campaign. I am damn sure one will for adwords search volume for his/her SEO campaign, he will be fails to achieve results.
