Another great tool from Wordtracker, Keyword Question Tool.
Enter a keyword and it will provide a list of questions related to that keyword that people are searching for. This is a great keyword tool to find what questions people have related to your niche. The phrases are pretty long tail and so they are great for website or blog content ideas, as well as for finding some good site-wide keywords.
Remember that adding content regularly to your websites, especially affiliate websites is important, it keep the site fresh, makes the search engine spiders visit a lot and brings more traffic when you have lots of pages all over the SERPS!
Thanks for the resource, its what bloggers need to know in competitive KW areas, so they can stay one step ahead in the SERP.
@Matt @ Sacramento Weddings, You are right that these tools are very helpful. These can put as one step ahead.
The numbers don’t seem very accurate or current, but it seems like a cool tool for generating ideas.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
Really? The words I searched were very much in line with what SEOBook tool showed.
@JR,
Maybe I’m not understanding how the tool is supposed to work, but as an example I typed in “seo”. One of the questions it returned was “what does seo stand for”, with 195 “times asked”, which the site claims is “the number of times that the question has been asked on our partner search engines in the US over the last year.”
Ok. So I go ahead and plug that same question into the Google adwords tool, and get 1900 searches, just in the past month. So either Google isn’t one of their “partner search engines” or there is something funny going on.
Still a useful tool for generating questions, if you want an information focused website.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
First, no kw tool is completely accurate, the results are just estimates. Second, Google Adwords tool is showing global searches not US based, if you are using the keyword ideas tool, so the numbers will always be higher
@JR,
The Google Adwords keyword tool shows separate numbers for local and global search volume. The 1,900 is the local search volume (i.e. the US). I know no tool is completely accurate, but 195 is a far cry from 1900.
Anyway, not arguing that this isn’t a great tool, just pointing out that the numbers leave a little to be desired.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
Ah, okay, well, for me the numbers really only matter for the site-wides, for the inner page long tails I worry much less about them, usually don’t even check the numbers, if it makes sense and I feel people will search for it, then I use it.
I really liked this tool because it helps to come with ideas, god knows, that getting ideas for content can be the biggest pain in the…:-(
@JR,
Yeah, I agree. Just as a note, your blog seems to send me an e-mail automatically every time you reply to my comment, which is fine, but if I check the “notify me” checkbox, I get TWO e-mails everytime you reply.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
Are you saying that if you don’t check the box you still get the email about the reply?
@JR,
Yes, I believe so. I unsubscribed from this thread last week, but still get your replies by e-mail, and was getting two per reply when I was subscribed.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
That’s weird, I’m only getting one, but I am admin, I will check it out, thanks for letting me know.
@Become Comparison Shopping,
Oh and of course as you said, it’s cool for providing ideas.
Thank you, this tool is fabulous!
I’m a big fan of Wordtracker products, but didn’t know about that one. Thanks a lot man. Now I have new task in my queue :}
It’s an awesome tools! Thanks for sharing this tool JR! When I search a keyword in my niche (I think you know my keyword, lol!), there is a list of result shows all the long tail questions that having the keyword. I think I should have more content to write in this coming few days.

@Lee
I agree and I have not been paying too much mind to the actual search numbers, if the long tail makes sense go for it, eventually enough people will search for it
@JR, Yea, sometimes it’s too difficult to optimize for the exact keyword such as “Make Money Online”, and we might not get any organic traffic from this keyword too. So optimizing for the long tail keyword but with the main keyword inside, it might bring you some traffic too.

Thanks for the this. I have just tried this and it’s a great tool. Keyword questions are great for keyphrase marketing,something we are going to see a lot more of.
Another great tip… thanks! I should really stop reading and start posting new fresh content.

Its interesting to know how bloggers try to find out what kind of questions users ask. I think its one of the best way to write new posts when one runs out of topics. I didn’t know the benefits of long tail keywords but came to know about it after visiting some blogs.
