Amazing Tool to Find Hidden Keywords in Google
Have you heard of Ubersuggest? It's an amazing tool that will find hidden keywords in Google, including many that you may never find using our keyword tools.
I just discovered it tonight for myself.
Then I searched within WA and found a training resource from 2012 that shows how to use it.
Alphabet Soup Technique
Kyle teaches us how to use the "alphabet soup" technique in Google to find keywords. Ubersuggest performs half of that technique quickly and easily by adding every letter of the alphabet plus numbers 0-9 to the end of the keyword you enter.
Essentially, it "scrapes" Google to find all keywords that have been entered into Google with that combination. It then displays all the keywords it finds and allows you to copy a complete list of them if you so desire.

The training resource can be found at https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/using-google-uber-suggest-for-keyword-ideas/your-seed-keyword. It appears to be still accurate.
NOTE 1: There is one key point that is not listed on page 2 of the training. After you enter your keyword, you must also enter the CAPTCHA code before clicking on "Suggest". If you don't, you will get an error.
NOTE 2: Recognize that this tool gives you keyword ideas but it does not provide monthly searches or competition information.
Try It!
Give it a try. You'll be flooded with keyword ideas. Once you have the keywords you can use Jaaxy or the WA keyword tool to determine the monthly searches and competition numbers.

Also, don't forget or be afraid to see what your competitors are doing, what words they are ranking for and comparing where they are and where you are in ranking for that word or phrase.
Also, many times, it can help you to uncover some new keywords or topics that you can target that you may not have even thought about before.
One free or really cheap app, if you upgrade (less than $5 for something like 3 months). It is called SEO Edge and I have it for iOS. I use it to keep an eye on my rankings, while I am on the go and not in front of my computer. I can choose any keywords I want to add to my list and it will load and show me where I rank for all of them. However, if you click on your ranking to see where it sits in the results, you can also see every other site ranking in the top 100. You can do the same with Jaaxy.
While, I am certainly not suggesting that you steal any type of content or do anything unethical, this allows you to take notice of those ranking where you want to be and not only analyze how they may have achieved their rankings for that particular word, but also navigate their site and get ideas for other topics and keywords within your niche that you can target.
You can then plug those words back into a tool like Jaaxy to check out the competition, traffic, difficulty to rank for those words, etc etc. Remember, each new word you plug in, will also show you other related keywords and give you even more ideas!
I have done this from time to time and had a few lightbulb moments that sparked ideas that were completely different from my competitor or a different spin on things than a competitor and helped me head in the right direction.
Sometimes, it may not even be keyword related, but navigating these sites can give you other ideas about design or even find opportunities to establish relationships with others in your niche and exchange links, guest blog, etc. I find that sometimes it is better to actually work with your competitors and you can help each other out more, especially if your niche is more than big enough for the both of your sites, anyway.
Thanks for sharing this, Allyn! I think that even people who have been here for a while, need a reminder now and again. I certainly do and it's appreciated! All the best!
Ubersuggest....this is the first time I heard about it. Gonna try it for sure. Thanks for the helpful post!
I'm glad you blogged this. I have been going through the courses, but seem to have missed this.
Since my computer jargon is so limited, I have to check the WA Glossary each time, and I believe it's not all completed as new terms gets coined every minute. (deep sigh) This is going to be a looong day.
Thank you for your blog today Allyn. God bless you,
Shirley
There are certainly many new words, a lot of vocabulary to pick up with this type of business. Just keep at it. I'm still recognizing that there are many things I don't know yet.
