The other day I went to do some research on Google and went to look for the “Wonder Wheel”, which has been a trusted friend and adviser over the past year or two (however long it’s been around).

But something really odd happened…

I typed in a random search phrase, went to the “More Search Tools” area to find the Wonder Wheel and… NOTHING! It wasn’t there! What the heck? I looked all over the net and nobody seemed to know where it went. To make a long story short, I made it my ‘mission’ to find out where it went… and I figured it out.

Here’s a quick video I recorded to show you exactly how to get Google Wonder Wheel back:

Anyway, I knew it must have had something to do with the recent change in Google search, from their regular search to the “Google Instant Search”. So, I started looking around and found what I was looking for in the Google Preferences.

All you have to do is turn off Google Instant and save your preferences… that’s it!

Hope this helps,
Steven

Google Wonder Wheel… What happened?

Google is doing something weird… not sure if it is an early implementation of some of the Google Caffeine stuff, but…

…earlier today I was cleaning up a ton of keywords that I had done research for last month before sending them off to a couple of my writers. While going through my research I noticed some interesting discrepancies in the Google results. Let me explain.

For instance, in July, the phrase:

‘how to tone your stomach’ – had a traffic volume of 3600 searches (phrase match); All In Title search result of 171; and a phrase match result of 6230.

Today, the results were somewhat different, with a traffic volume of 2900 (which is fine); all in title results of 105,000 (yikes); and a phrase match result of 2,050,000 (double yikes).

What the heck?

I was thinking maybe I did something wrong. So, I went on to another keyword phrase:

‘how to loose stomach fat’ – In July this keyword had a traffic volume of 3600 (again in phrase match); all in title results of 325; and a phrase match search result of 6630.

Today I found this: traffic volume of 2900 (everything is fine); all in title of 328 (still good); phrase match result of 1,630,000 (huh?).

And this wasn’t an isolated instance, it happened to quite a few keywords…

By the way if you don’t know what all this means, don’t worry, just have a look at my keyword research videos here:

So now I’m wondering if it’s just something wrong in my end of the world or if everybody is starting to see similar results? If so, I think the way we do keyword research will have to change… and start looking at other factors besides phrase match volume and all in title results.

One of the most frequent questions that I hear is people having trouble finding suitable niches, keywords and even offers to promote.

I personally feel that the easiest way to find niches and offers is to simply use keyword modifiers in your query (just drop these into your favorite keyword tool).

Keyword Modifiers would be words like:

Cure
Get Rid Of
How To
Stop
Buy
etc.

Once you find some suitable niches with a decent amount of searches, just go to Google and search using each of these keywords and see what people are offering (using PPC).

I’ve just uploaded a video that explains how you do this along with a downloadable PDF about keyword modifiers here:

I also show you a neat trick for checking a PPC ad’s staying power without using paid tools (like PPC Bully or Google Cash Detective).
