Related Keywords The related keywords show us additional
phrases to consider for researching and give us an insight into
which phrases searchers are using. Sometimes a Brainstorm word does
not have any related phrases. This simply means that this term is
either very targeted and no one is searching for it yet, or we have
not targeted the searchers language. This process is valuable in
showing you if you are on target or have missed the targeted
keyword market. You an leverage keyword research tools to add
additional variations and for the next step of understanding

much does this potential new traffic mean to you? 2. Should the
keyword be added to the paid campaign instead?
