Using Google Trends for Websites to generate keywords

Google has just released Google Trends for Websites which allows you to compare traffic levels between sites - much like Alexa, comscore etc.

In itself, this is somewhat interesting, but what caught my eye was the ‘Also searched for’ results:

Here is a great way to get an idea which keywords are driving search engine traffic to your competitors.

So here is my idea

  1. Fire up google, and type the number one keyword that you can think of for your niche.
  2. Copy down the domains of the top 10 sites
  3. Go to Google Trends for Websites, enter the sites and copy down the ‘Also searched for’ keywords that come up. Make sure if you enter more than one site at a time that you change the ‘Ranked By’ so you get all the keywords.

So now you should have a pretty big list of keywords that are driving traffic to your niche :) I can’t be sure that the keywords listed are all the big ones, but I’ve compared the results with a hitwise report, and it is pretty close.

You can even figure out which keywords are the best to go after - just enter them into Google Trends
