    Like others, I have also been oblivious to the options which were uncovered in this article, using stars or underscores to uncover more keywords suggestions.

    However, I am trying to find a way to avoid the manual labour. Did any of you find a successful tool that automatically adds all the possible combinations of these wildcards to give a comprehensive lists of suggestions? I am looking for a tool that also included my country (.nl).

        Thanks for you response. However, I am looking for a tool that would automatically do this. Example: I only fill in "buy books", and it automatically gives me all suggestions for "buy books", "_ buy books", "buy _ books", "* buy books" etc.

          The trick with the underscore seems to work on http://keywordtool.io - I tried 'how to _' and it came up with 502 suggestions.

            I don't think that does exactly what I want. I want a tool such as ubersuggest, but that also automatically incorporates all suggestions that are possible by using stars and underscores in all possible combinations.

              Do you mean a tool such as this one provided by SoloSEO?

                Ranking for keywords in multiple zip codes

                Hello, We are trying to rank for keywords locally. We are on the edge of four zip codes in our area and are competing with businesses in those zip codes. Should we track each keyword separately for each zip code, or just one zip code we're in?

                What defines what words in a title are considered Keywords?

                Hi, sorry if this is a silly question. I'm curious how keywords are defined. Is every word in a title a possible keyword? If I have a keyword titled "Linear Shower Drain | 40" Long", does it take the whole thing as a keyword? Is just "Linear Shower Drain" the keyword? Would "Shower Drain" pop up as a keyword, since its nested in the title? Thank you in advance for your answers!

                I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?

                For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

                Keywords with no search volume

                Hi there! What are your thoughts on optimizing pages for keywords that have no search volume (using the Keyword Planner)? I'm not sure it should be done, since optimizing for keywords that no one searches for is kind of useless, right? Or should I do it hoping that sometime in the future the keyword will have a surge on searches? Thanks!

                The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.

                Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

                What is the ideal keyword difficulty percentage?

                I am trying to establish my best keywords using the keyword difficulty tool. So if I want to come up with the best keywords, should I use the ones that come in at 50%??

                Has anyone tried SECockpit as their Keyword Research tool ?

                I'm looking for a tool to help with keyword research, and judging by the presentation and few reviews I could find, SECockpit at http://swissmademarketing.com/secockpit/ seems to be a nice product. They pull their data (partly) from SEOmoz, which is a good sign. Any feedback ? Thx Gil
