Cheap/ Discount/ Value/ Sale Keywords
-
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience in targeting cheap/discount/value etc keywords in an SEO campaign?
I'm interested to find out:
-
How Google perceives these keywords, as the search results are only very slightly different if you search with or without a 'cheap' keyword.
-
Whether Google differentiates between 'cheap synonyms ie 'cheap' and 'affordable'. There are far higher searches for 'cheap' but affordable is much more user- and conversion-friendly.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,
As you mentioned its hard to work Google out so you have to sometime use your best guess. Logically I would agree a mix of anchor text, and keywords could hep that page. The other way you could look at it was the keyword volume for each term and then target those terms presumably better than the likes you asda etc.
IT also comes back a little to what Google interprets the terms for, I would recommend looking into the search volume between the two.
Good luck!

Hey Chris,
Thanks very much. I think you're right that I am over-thinking it (as any SEO would when trying to figure Google out!). One thing that stands out for me is that when I do a search (for example for 'cheap console tables', very few of the results on page 1 mention 'cheap' or 'discounted' in their title tags, or their pages. Yet it does seem to know which sites stock cheaper console tables (ebay, gumtree, asda etc). Do you think this could be just down to the use of the word 'cheap' across the rest of the site?

Hi Karen,
I wonder if you're over thinking this a bit. Lets look at what Google's job is, its to bring the best result back for a users inquiry. Now there are some exceptions to that (like adult content and some pay day loans) but for the most part that rule is true.
Now the question isn't what Google thinks its what the user thinks is there a difference in the user typing 'cheap product' compared to 'product' ? There is going to be difference between the two searches because the user wants to see different results for each one. You can always test this out by going to Google and trying different searches you can then double up your theory by going to ad-words and looking into search volume between the two.
I hope that helps a bit.

Minor languages keyword research
Hello, I am in charge of doing a keyword research for several small countries in Europe, namely Hungary, Estonia and Latvia.
Keyword Research | | Lvet
I normally use the Keyword planner for Google Ads, but for Hungarian, Estonian and Latvian this tools seems to find no results for the keywords related to my websites. For example, in Hungarian the keyword "ajak toltoanyagok" ("lip fillers" in English) doesn't give any results (and yes, I am targeting my searches to Hungary and Hungarian). I have the same problems with Latvian and Estonian. Is there another tool that I could use and that could give me better results? Help! Cheers Luca rONwtZt0 -
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!

Tool for wildcard keyword suggestions
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).
