In the past I’ve advice you to use keyword research tools like Wordtracker and Google Adwords to help you find keywords.
Well today I’m going to show you how
to use Google’s Wonder Wheel, another excellent tool for keyword research.
Go to Google and type in a keyword or key phrase. Then click Google Search.
For this exampled I used the key phrase ‘Keyword Research.’
Next: Click on the +Show Options link under the search box.
On the left side of the page look under ‘Standard Results’ and click on ‘Wonder Wheel.’
Click on ‘Wonder wheel.’
You will then be given a page that displays a circle diagram with keywords related to your initial search.
Each keyword is a link to keywords that are related to the phase you clicked.
Keyword search tool, keyword elite, keyword discovery are keyword ideas I could use when writing about keyword research.
Google wonder wheel keyword research tool is very effective in helping you choose the right keywords for your blog posts.
Some of you may have already heard about ‘Google Wonder Wheel’ and may already be using it for keyword research.
For those of you that haven’t I hope you found this post helpful.
Start using ‘Google Wonder Wheel’ today to generate more keywords and discover sub niches you may not have thought of.
Have you used ‘Google Wonder Wheel’ yet?

Hi Rose.
I’d heard about this tool a while ago, but forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. Google Wonder Wheel reminds me of a mind map and I love mind maps.

I haven’t tried it. Didn’t even know it existed.
I like the way it looks though. I’m more visually oriented so reading lists of words doesn’t hold my attention as well as this would..

The main problem I have with the Google Wonder Wheel is that I get sucked in and end up in the strangest places.
It’s like a game to me to see where I’ll end up.

I’m with @Glen, having never seen it before. I think I’ve heard of it but if Google expects me to run through hoops to see something, I’d rather not see it.

Thank you, Rose. I hadn’t heard of this. Then again, I’ve been too busy using Swagbucks and I really miss just plain old Google. I’m going to have to play around with this a bit.

From what I can see in the image you’ve attached to this article, it looks quite useful… It’s just a pity that this image is the _only_ way I can see it. Trying it out for myself and all I get for my trouble is my flash plugin crashing. I guess I’ll have to stick to using me noggin for coming up with nice keywords for my articles.
Have I mentioned that I loath and detest flash?

Steve hu? Didn’t realize it was Flash. I see now it is.
Sounds like you need to upgrade your flash player.
Get your free adobe flash player here.

@Rose DesRochers:
Appreciate the tip, however that’s the version I’m using and I suspect the real problem lies deep within my libc. One of these days I’ll re-build it.

@Rose DesRochers: Swagbucks says they use Google and Ask.com search engines to gather their results. You can earn point [swagbucks] for searching and redeem those points to things like gift cards and such. I’ve been using them for about 6 months and earned a little over 400 swagbucks. The trick is to get others to sign up under you and earn points as they earn points [up to 100 per person].
