Keyword Research Tools

Quintura is a search engine that uses a tag cloud (technically, a visual semantic map) to organize its results.

In theory, Quintura makes it easier to find the exact results you want by providing more specific keywords in a “cloud” around your search term. The different sizes and colors are intended to help indicate which keywords are most likely relevant to the search term.

For keyword research, we can use this “keyword cloud” to help uncover possible keywords (or keyword modifiers) to use.

For example, when I searched for copywriting, the terms “advice” and “impact” showed up. That makes me think, hm, maybe I should consider “copywriting advice” and “high-impact copywriting” as keywords to research.

I can click on the other keywords to have even more specific terms pop up. For example, when I look at “advice,” the terms “information” and “tips” also show up.

Which is a better keyword for me, “copywriting advice” or “copywriting tips”? Well, further research will tell, but for the time being, Quintura has given me a few ideas to add to my spreadsheet.

Since Quintura is also a search engine, you can also use this site to do the same kind of competitor research we discussed in Keyword Research Step 4.
