How to Turn Content Into a Valuable Keyword List

I like to use textalyser .
the 2 word phrases and 3 word phrases lists give a nice long tail keyword list

Great tool!!! I will definitely be adding that to my tool box.

Isn't same code used with ultimate warrior for tags? :)

Great tool and post!

Thanks Aaron. The WordTracker article was great as is the additional information here. Even without using tools just reading some of your competitor's content can yield plenty of phrases you might have missed.

G'Day Aaron, nice summary of tools. Between SEODigger and your Keyword List Generator I'm either doing basic KW research really quickly or taking a really looong time and coming up with zillions of phrases.

I tested the WordsFinder tool against your Yahoo Keywords Tool and the only difference I could see (other than your tool loading in a fraction of the time) was the WordsFinder tool narrowed the list down to what they call the "Best Keywords".

Any idea which metrics they use to determine best-ness?

Cheers,
Joe

Nice list of tools for generating keyword ideas. I frequently use Google's tools to compare pages across a client's pages and their competitors. It helps with generating keyword ideas that may be missing as well as to help point out strengths and weaknesses between sites.

Thanks, Aaron! This is super helpful! it's always nice to get that one tip that will change your day!

the wordsfinder site says: 'Why MetaData is important? Meta Data makes your document easier to find. In fact, some search engines only index the contents of HTML meta tags.'

what search engines does this apply to anymore?

Is there a similar tool for extracting KWs from video content, by chance?

Wow-- that would be an awesome idea Melanie. But I doubt it exists.

There are contextual ad services that trigger ads based on the content inside videos, so such technology already exists, though it may not be publicly available.

I tried to use the google tool, it works great. It does show keywords in my content, but too many intentionally does bad rather than any good. So I think a delicate balance is must.

To display a keyword oriented tag cloud you can also use tagcrowd (http://www.tagcrowd.com/)

At my blog (URL above) you can find a special bookmarklet (enter bookmarklet into the search field) which basically allows it to speed up using the Google's keyword suggestion tool for any page. You simply click the bookmarklet and in a moment, you get a nice, long list of keywords, together with the max CPC that Google provides.

*** AW: I changed your link to point to the page talking about your bookmarklet. How hard would it have been to link to the specific download URL or provide directions for how to find it? If you would have done those it would not have seemed spammy. A little extra effort goes a long way. ***

Hi thanks for the great article. I wonder if any of you has used the wordsfinder API yet.

I would like to integrate into my website CMS and it looks a pretty good choice to genetare search engine keywords on the fly to help me writing search engine friendly text.

If you know any other API can you please leave a comment?

tagcrowd.com for instance .. any plan for an API?
