Pay Per Click Internet Marketing: How to Construct a Killer Keyword List
In Internet marketing, keyword lists are one of the essential ways merchants and affiliates connect with the customer. The advertiser is essentially anticipating what the customer is looking for. What many Internet marketers neglect to do though when they compile their list is to ýgo wideý before ýgoing deepý. In this article I'll reveal one of the keyword strategies that separate the pros from the newbies.

A wide keyword list is one that has large amount of related and lateral keywords. A deep keyword list usually only contains variations of one single, obvious root keyword.
For example, if you were promoting a home beer brewing ebook, the most obvious way to go about compiling a keyword list would revolve around the terms,ýbeerý and ýhome brewingý. For example:
home brew
home brewing
brew beer
brew beer at home
home made beer
how to make beer
Seems ok, but the problem is that this keyword list has a very narrow focus on highly competitive, higher cost keywords. Mainly because they are the most obvious, so everyone else is using those keywords. This is an example of going DEEP.
Go as WIDE as you can, try many different angles that may be relevant to the niche.
For a quick example, instead of just ýhome brew beerý
try as well:
home brew ale
home brewing lager
home brewing stout
home brewing pilsner
and
beer recipes
pilsner recipes
stout recipes
lager recipes
also
how to make beer
how to make Scottish ale
how to make Belgian lambic beer
....and various combinations of:
how to ferment your own beer
how to make Irish Stout
home microbrewery
Budweiser clone
etc.
The idea of going wide is that you find out which SUB NICHE of keywords produces the most traffic and conversions. Once you identify the keywords and phrases that are working for you, you then go really deep and find every combination of that sub niche. If, for example, you find that ýhome brew aleý is a profitable phrase, expand and find every possible variation of the phrase ýhome brew aleý. (These variations are known as ýlongtailsý)
One thing to remember when you using the ýgoing wideýstrategy is to correctly group your keywords in relevant ad groups. This is important for when you get around to setting up your PPC campaign. Do not just put every keyword in one big ad group. You really should aim to have multiple ad groups, each containing tightly matched, relevant keywords.
You could have an ad group named ýLagerý, containing keywords such as:
home brew lager
how to make lager
ferment lager
lager recipes
etc.....
Another one called ýStoutý with the keywords and phrases:
home brew stout
how to make stout
how to make Irish stout
ferment stout at home
ferment stout
stout recipes
You get the idea. The reason behind doing this is so you can make your keywords as relevant to the ad headline and text as possible. This in turn will significantly increase your click through, and conversion rates. If a person is specifically searching for ýhow to make stoutý, an ad which is targeted for "stout" will have a better chance of being clicked than one which is broadly aimed at ýhome brewingý.
