Compensating for the Keyword Research Tools

November 8, 2009 by Andy · 8 Comments 





When I look at my server logs to see how people find my websites, I usually have a wry smile on my face.  You see, my pages are "optimized" for 100s of keyword phrases, and most of these phrases never appear in keyword research tools.

What????

Yes, I know it sounds strange.

To illustrate my point, I wanted to highlight one page on my diabetes site (the one I built in my "Wordpress for Affiliates Sites" Course). 

Using a few of the most popular keyword research tools, I tried to research keyword phrases related to that page.  The keyword research tools didn’t do badly.  Between them, they managed to come up with 10 – 15 phrases related to that page.

I then headed over to Google Analytics to check how many phrases the page had been found for.  Analytics showed me over 600.
