    Default Using keyword dropdown's and

    http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...tow/3438/show/ - I was just reading this blog entry, and clicked through to the full blog post, and there are some interesting ideas on how to use the data already presented by search engines to round out your keyword lists.

    For instance, if you have the Google toolbar installed, start typing in a keyword that matters to you - you will find that Google attempts to autofill or suggest keywords based on what you started typing - Take a look at this list, and see if there are any relevant keywords to your website, that you were not aware of, or are not as of yet targeting.

    Also, once you complete a search, scroll to the bottom of the page, and google with have "Searches related to:" and list some words as well.

    Interesting blog article, if you have questions, comments or suggestions post them here

    And if there is no "Searches related to ...."? Is this feature only available for certain DCs? I've tried searches for several KW phrases on a couple of different DCs and nowhere can I find "Searches related to .... "

    I think it is keyword based - like they only show if there is a certain volume or something - I do a search for "Real Estate" from my DC here in Canada (Similar to your own) and I get

    Google has been testing the "Searches related to:" feature for almost a year now. In my experience, it's appearance is sporadic. My guess is that it's based on search volume and user query refinement.

    As for the search suggestion keyword research strategy, you don't need the Google Toolbar to get Google's search suggestions, you can just use Google Suggest.

    Another tool you should check out for search suggestion keyword research is Quintura, one of my favs.
