the freshness content angle as you can see from. the titles of. the top ranking pages so this query checks all boxes . passed our initial sniff test so i'll click on. the check box . add it to my golf keyword list now checking. the serp for all of these keywords would be pretty time consuming so there's a quick technique you can use to find relevant keywords . that's to use keyword modifiers a modifier is an add-on to a base keyword for example if our base keyword is golf hats we can modify this keyword by adding best top or. the current year . modifiers tell us a lot about search intent a word like best again tells us that a comparison needs to be made so searchers are probably looking for listicle blog posts with various different product recommendations now if a word like how or what is in. the keyword then it tells us that. the top pages will likely be blog posts or videos with step-by-step tutorials or some other informational content so with this knowledge we can actually filter this keyword list down to a keywords that likely have business potential . b keywords where we can match searcher intent for example since we're doing keyword research for an affiliate site modifiers like best top versus . review would likely bring up topics where we can organically recommend products so if we go back to. the keyword list we can click on. the include filter . paste this list there next i'll hit. the any word tab since we want to find keywords that include any of these modifiers as well as one of our seed keywords hit apply . we now have a list of around 30 keywords that are most likely going to have high business potential plus we know that 99 of. the time. the results for any best type keyword will be listicle blog posts . we know that we can match searcher intent with our affiliate blog now if we switch. the modifiers in. the include filter to words like how what who where why guide . tutorial then we can apply. the list to find informational topics that we could write about on our blog . pretty much all of these keywords will be fair game for our hypothetical golf blog now if you plan to use a list of modifiers then it's worth noting that you should probably do it with much broader seats for example you'll see that we only have 10 keywords when using. the search volume filter paired with our list of informational modifiers now if i change. the c to just golf set. the volume filter to a minimum of 300 monthly searches . then paste in my list of informational modifiers hit. the any tab . click apply then you'll see we have a lot more topics that we could potentially create content around so if this is a method you want to try then take a screenshot of this list of modifiers . feel free to use them in your keyword research now after doing keyword research for exactly 33 minutes . 14 seconds i was able to compile a list of over 190 keyword ideas in my golf keyword list now one downside to using keyword research tools is that. the list of keyword ideas will usually be limited to words . phrases that include your seats but there are other great keywords that won't necessarily include your seeds so how do you find them well. the best way to find these keywords is to look at pages that drive. the most search traffic to your competitor sites because if your competitors are ranking for keywords that are sending them a ton of search traffic then i'm sure you'd want to get in on. the action right now by competitor i'm not necessarily talking about your direct business competitors i'm referring to your organic search competitors which are websites that rank for keywords that you'd want to rank for so to find these competitors i'll go back to ahrefs keywords explorer but this time i'll click on my golf keyword list next i'll go to. the traffic share by domains report which will show you. the websites that get. the most search traffic based on your keyword input in this case our golf keyword list so as you can see sites like golf digest golf.com . golf wrx are getting. the most search traffic from. the keywords that i want to hypothetically rank for but we already know these keywords since we created. the list so what you can do is click on. the caret beside a domain you want to research further . then click top pages which will show you. the pages that send. the most search traffic to a website . check this out golf digest page on game improvement irons gets around 5 400 monthly search visits from. the us this page that ranks for what degree is a sand wedge gets around 4 700 monthly search visits . we wouldn't have seen these in. the keyword ideas report because they don't contain our seeds so you can just skim through this list look for potential topics then go through those four points in. the checklist for keywords that are interesting to you add them to your keyword list . once you've exhausted a website's top pages rinse . repeat for. the other organic search competitors until you're satisfied with your list . if you're still unhappy with your list you can try . find other seeds within this report. the two that stand out to me right away are sand wedge . fairway woods so i'll go back to keywords explorer . type those into. the search box . seeing as both of these are different types of golf clubs you can add pitching wedge putter putting . so on . so forth bottom line there should be no shortage of keyword ideas . you should be able to use these two methods to build a solid list of topics to keep you busy for years but here's. the thing even if you've checked off these four boxes on. the checklist there's still one left . it won't matter if you don't rank for your keywords hey it's ammo . welcome to. the fourth lesson in our keyword research module today
