Keyword Corral – A Step by Step Walk Through
| Share |
A couple of days ago I posted the brand new keyword tool called “Keyword Corral” and the response has been pretty good except for the fact that there is no written documentation available. I did create a video but I knew that some written documentation would be needed, I just wanted to wait and see how the initial beta test has gone. I am pleased to see it going so well and so here is some training to help those who might have hit a snag or two.
First of all this software is meant to work directly with the Google “Traffic Estimator” data and is not meant to have just single keywords added. In my ebook “How to Build a Business Not Just a Blog” I wlk you through the steps of using Google’s tools and for those of you that went through the ebook, you will recognize the drastic time savings this tool can provide.
If you have not gone through the ebook, I highly recommend you do that first.
Over the next few days I will also be providing a smaller “Keyword Research” pdf that will accompany this tool but that is a few days away. This pdf will take you step by step thorugh the process of taking full advantage of this tool.
For now however, here is a quick overview of how to get started with KeywordCorral…
Step 1: Click on “Open the source file”
Step 2: Select the type of file you want to import (.txt or .csv)
Step 3: Once select “KeywordCorral” will import the data from the file. You can sort the data by clicking on the column headers. As in the below image, clicking on the column “Estimated Clicks/Day Lower” sorts the data from highest to lowest.
Step 4: Click on “Filter”.
Step 5: Now set the filter criteria. In the below image example, I have set it to filter out only the words that have at least 10 “Estimated Clicks / Day Lower”, 50 “Estimated Clicks / Day Upper” and the phrases must have at least 3 words in them.
Step 6: Once you have filtered the data, you can now select the keywords you are interested in and get the “allintitle” competition. To select more then one keyword, simply hold down the CTRL key and select all the keyword youare interested in. Then select “Get Competition”
Step 7: When you hit the “Get Competition” button, you will see the green progress bar across the top.
Step 8: Keyword Corral will now display the competition results under the competition column. This number uses the allintitle filter, so you know the competitors that are directly targeting that phrase.
Step 9: You can now select “Save All” and Keyword Corral will save all the data into a csv file.
Step 10: If you just want to save the keywords, then select “Save Keywords” and it will not save any data except for the keywords. This saves it to a .txt file.
Step 11: The “Reset” button will remove any filter settings you have applied. It does delete the filter settings, but it does un apply it. This way you can see all the keywords again and if you want to re apply the filter you will need to go back into the filter and click apply.
Hope you find this useful and would love to hear your feedback on this tool.

Great tool! Would love it if you added an “AllInURL” column next to the Competition column results (because keyword domains are more heavily weighted by Google.)
Thanks for the written “walk thru”. I’ve been playing around with it all afternoon. Great tool!

Not sure what this means or why I am getting it but under Seach Volume heading I am getting results as ALL “false.” No data extends into the others fields (to the right). Whats up with that?

Hi and thanks! Have started using your tool which seems great… until I got this unexpected “message” when I hit Get competition for selected keywords (admittedly after I had already got the competition numbers for some keywords already):
302 Moved
302 Moved
The document has moved

Any advice? I downloaded the software again but I’m still getting the same message and can’t get nowhere at the moment

TIA,
