Domain Optimizing

Here’s a good way to research the Wordtracker database for wide ranging keywords. The use of wildcard searches is a great way to find relevant keywords. As usual I will add the note that this is known to many seasoned domaineers but may be first time news for someone else. Personally, I feel the Wordtracker tool is simply awesome. In light of the obsolete overture keyword data, WT definitely fills in the void by providing last 90 day searches and 24 hour predicts.

Lets start by understanding what a wildcard operator like ” * ” can perform. For example, if I want to find all words starting with or containing the letters “en and py” I would enter the word “en*py”. This would give me a whole set and subsets of words containing my selected words. This helps pull up relatively unknown words that are being searched for on various search engines.

Here is a snapshot.

Okay now taking the above example, let me try this with hyphenated words. Here is a result for the hyphenated word ” best-* “.

This is a great way to find great domain keywords over a broader spectrum. For any serious domainer, keen to research domain names and keywords, Wordtracker is an immensely invaluable tool. I will be updating new posts exploring more tips on keyword research in the coming days.
