How to use Hint Words?

Hint Words can change the value of a keyword phrase beyond the search numbers.
If your purpose is to sell a product, finding keyword phrases that include BUY Hint Words will give you searchers who are already in the buying mindset.
Your job is that much easier if you target those keywords, so you get the kind of searcher to visit your site!
Hintwords can help you better use content to get the desired result
If your keyword phrase contains INFORMATION Hint Words, you will know that your content has more focused as it will be harder to sell to your Searcher.
If you choose phrases with BUY Hint Words, your content only has to keep the searcher in that mindset until they click the buy button.
Hint Words can also be used to find good niche keywords, for example if we look at the at the word [tips] you could then have[acne tips]
Put this into the Google Keyword Tool (remember to sign-in) and set the search for Exact
[ ] , I am also targeting the United States and the total searches are as follows;

  • Global Monthly - 1,900
  • Local Monthly - 880
  • Google Search Network - 1,900
Not a bad search result, proves that people are searching for Acne Tips.
If you are stuck for different Niches to work in then you can just use the Hint Words themselves in the Google Keyword Tool.
Again as before be signed in and set to Exact Search[tips].

For this I would set Google to All Countries in the Advanced Options then you can narrow down afterwards to specific Countries.
For example you have:

  • [footy tips]
  • [diet tips]
  • [beauty tips]
  • [stock tips]
  • [makeup tips]
  • [share tips]
  • [baseball tips]

This is just a very small selection and the figures are naturally very high but this just gives you an idea of what you can get by just putting the Hint Word into the Google Keyword Tool.
If you check the box Only show ideas closely related to my search terms then you can get plenty more keyword phrases/ideas for different Niches to further expand on.

The really funny one is if you do an exact search of[discount] it seems to only bring up searches related to tyres (tires), I have no idea why?
If you do look at[discount] then I do suggest you tick the boxOnly show ideas closely related to my search terms unless of course you have a campaign about tyres (tires).
Hint Words can be expanded on by adding for example the word for at the end of your Hint Word Search Term;

  • [diet tips for]
  • Or to,
  • [diet tips to]
