How to Find Long-Tail Keywords Effortlessly

Do you often find yourself staring at your computer screen trying to come up with new blog post ideas? I do. Far too often. Let me introduce you to our new friend, the long-tail keyword generator.

If you are a veteran blogger, you have likely seen Google Suggest recommended for finding long-tail keywords, digging down into your niche and brainstorming new topics. It’s a great tool. These suggestions are based on real searches after all. The problem is that you will be shown only a few suggestions at a time. Who has time for this?

Yes, there are a few tools out there that will search out keywords of three or more words. Many are a bit of an investment, and those that I have purchased are usually desktop software that are so clunky and slow that I can do it manually faster. And that still takes quite a bit of time.

Last week I came across Ubersuggest. This is Google Suggest on steroids. Even with entering a super broad term, Ubersuggest allows a user to drill down into a niche quickly. It will give the searcher a few popular searches to start with, but below it will start branching the original term out alphabetically.

Since I started with a one-word phrase, it isn’t finding many long-tail keywords yet. Long-tail generally refers to keywords of three or more words. But, Ubersuggest will let users dig further without having to start a new search. Each time you click on a keyword, this long-tail keyword generator will display new terms.

Sticking with the dog niche, dog health is a popular topic. Clicking “dog health” will branch the two-word phrase into three words. Clicking “dog health problems” will generate even longer tail keywords. Each click of “dog health problems” will generator another 10 keywords.

One drawback is that it doesn’t display search volume. However, clicking the “+” in front of the keywords you are interested in will add them to a list found towards the top of the page. From there, you can click Download which will allow you to cut and paste your selected keywords into Google Keyword Tool to get the search volume.
