generating keywords and adwords

[tdd1984]

any one know off a good keyword generator for adwords to run affliaites through?

[warner444]

I use a few different keywords tools

this is a great free one
http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/#results

Google has one at
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

(google has great free instructional videos about adwords if you are going to use adwords learn a lot it first and especially about "keyword relevence")

Google adwords help center
https://adwords.google.com/support/?hl=en_US

I have used "Niche Inspector" which is pretty good.

Recently I got "Keyword Elite" I am pretty impressed. It will dig really deep across multiple search engines. (to get littte used cheaper and less competative keywords)

nichbot.com is a good online keyword search tool, monthly membership, it's interface is a little complicated but it does a huge amount of search and will return results in many ways and has filters to narrow to the best useable terms.

There are some related just to adwords, like Adwords Accelorator, I kind of liked it but maybe his next version will be more worth it.

There are a few other big ones out there, if you search and find others I recomend you find some real reviews about them (not just affiliates with phoney review sites). the Warrior forum has a product review section.

For a free keyword generator I would have to agree with

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

After all it's straight from the source as far as Adwords goes

I use the Overture keyword tool, Here is a script for it will help at all.

PHP Code:

<?php
class KeywordManager
{
     //class variables
     var $keywordArray = array();

    function KeywordManager()
    {
        //init function
    }
    function saveKeywordFile($fileName)
    {
         /*
         saves file with specified array of keywords and file name
         example: saveKeywordFile("saveas.txt",$keywordArray)
        */
        $keywordArray = $this->keywordArray;
        if (count($keywordArray) > 0)
        {
             if (file_exists($fileName))
             {
                //File name already exist
                return 0;
            }
            $filePointer = fopen($fileName,"w");
            if (!is_resource($filePointer))
            {
                //Error creating file
                return 0;
            }
            foreach ($keywordArray as $keyword)
            {
                fwrite($filePointer,$keyword."\n");
            }
            return 1;
        } else
        {
            //Keyword array is empty
            return 0;
        }
    }

    function loadKeywordFile($fileName)
    {
        /*
        loads a keyword file, returns array on success and 0 on failure
        example: loadKeywordFile("keywords.txt");
        */
        if (is_readable($fileName))
        {
            $filePointer = fopen($fileName,"r");
            if (!is_resource($filePointer))
            {
                //No resource
                return 0;
            }
            $fileData = "";
            while (!feof($filePointer))
            {
                $fileData .= fgets($filePointer,128);
            }
            $keywordArray = explode("\n",$fileData);
            foreach ($keywordArray as $keyword)
            {
                array_push ($this->keywordArray,$keyword);
            }
            return ($this->keywordArray);    
        } else 
        {
             //File not readable
            return 0;
        }
    }

    function overtureKeywordSuggestions ($baseKeyword)
    {
        $curlHandle = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_URL,"http://inventory.uk.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/");
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2");
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_REFERER,"http://inventory.uk.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/");
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_POST,1);
        curl_setopt($curlHandle,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"mkt=uk&lang=en_GB&term=".urlencode($baseKeyword)."&x=11&y=5");
        $returnedHtml = curl_exec($curlHandle);
        preg_match_all("|<font face=\"verdana,sans-serif\" size=1 color=#000000>(.*)</a></td>|U",$returnedHtml,$keywordMatches);
        foreach ($keywordMatches[1] as $keyword)
        {
             if (array_search($keyword,$this->keywordArray)==0)
             {
                array_push($this->keywordArray,$keyword);
            } else
            {
                //Keyword exist
                return 0;
            }
        }
        return $this->keywordArray;
    }
}
