Good way. Good idea. I will try. This will help for go up with my target word.
This is great tool to find a niche. Google really make something different. Bing and yahoo should come out their new tool as well.
I really like this visual way of analyzing the data that the keyword tool returns. Will have to study it more closely to really get a handle on it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It is really interesting to study major competitors using this tool. You can get a good gauge on what keywords they have targeted and where you might fall short.
Typical google dopeness. I could use this wonder-wheel thingy for days. I’m even find it interesting to look up search terms that have absolutely nothing to do with my site or my market.
Here is one more thing to suck me in and have me spend hours playing with. The internet is such a fun house. Everywhere you look there are just endless things with which to while away the hours.
Google is an amazing company. They have more sites and tools than most. Maybe even rivaling Microsoft.
Awesome tool! It looks like Google are using their huge amounts of information that they have gathered from us in new and exciting ways.
This kind of reminds me of the old mind mapping techniques we used at school.
I found Wonder Wheel some time ago and it’s a good place to start with one’s keyword research. I especially like it from a brainstorming perspective. It’s much faster at offering ideas than the Google Adwords Keyword Tool; plus it’s more fun.
It seems the entire web is moving towards the visual or touchscreen way of looking at information. Though it does give me a ‘minority report’ vibe, I really like the keyword layout.
SEO is already complicated enough so it is great to see something that reduces it to a picture.
This is definitely a wonderful feature from Google.
Google seems to be most innovative search engine in the world, that’s why it is the most popular one. They continuously come up with new idea’s an innovations to make the internet more user friendly.

They are few softwares that will help you in the keyword research.One of them is market samurai.I use it daily
Great post, its a new way of finding good and relevant keywords. Thanks for sharing this. I can use this in my SEO work.
Great Idea! Thanks for sharing it! This is like KwMap.net, but it’semms to be more relevant because it’s from google.:) I will use it!
Great write up. I find the Wonder Wheel to be one of the best keyword research tools because you can quickly and easily explore many different avenues. Unlike the Adwords keyword tool you can quickly click on the terms to explore further and it’s much better at presenting ideas I hadn’t thought of. It’s also a great way of creating more effective PPC campaigns if you build separate campaigns for the terms that appear in the spokes.
Do you tend to use this tool in conjunction with the Google Adwords tool or with Wordtracker, or has it replaced all or some of them?
wow, sounds like a great tool from google. I’ll use wonder wheel to help me do deeper keyword research. Thanks for sharing.
Thats interesting, I was not aware of this new tool, actually I think this will be very useful for SEO and internet marketing purpose.
Wow. This time it will be a lot easier to find and target keywords then. This is actually a great idea to find specific topics about certain keywords.
I read an article online which stated that the Google Wonder Wheel feature has been taken offline. I’m not sure if this is true, though.
It’s really a cool and great feature but I check that it’s already not included on google page.
