Keywords + Reddit = Keyworddit. This tool is next level SEO.
Reddit is one of the web’s largest databases of knowledge (AKA cat memes and political extremism). This tool scrapes Reddit and returns the most common keywords in a subreddit (section of the site).
For example, if you are a dog trainer, you can search the DogTraining subreddit and see the most common keywords. You can’t find these words ANYWHERE ELSE.
Overview
Keyworddit is a free service that helps marketers find keywords based on a subreddit. The service matches keywords found from Reddit with Keyword volume from the tool Grepwords. While this isn’t the most useful tool for paid search, it can be incredibly useful to help understand what people interested in a topic talk about for content marketing and what keywords to use in your content for SEO.
What do the result headings mean?
The "Monthly Search Volume" column lists the average number of monthly searches for that term, according to Grepwords. In my testing, this is very similar to the volumes that Google's keyword planner would give you.
The "Context" column link is a simple helper link that opens up a Google search of that keyword (and your chosen subreddit). This will help you when it's not clear how the keyword might be used.
How should I use the results?
There are a few main ways to use the keyword results. First, you'll hopefully find some low competition keywords to target directly. Additionally, you could feed this list of keywords through other keyword research tools to get an even bigger list of keywords that you might not have found originally. A final idea is to use the results to create accurate audience personas.
The Subreddit I searched for has no keywords (or not many), why?
If the subreddit you're looking for doesn't come up in the auto-suggest list, it's too small (<10,000 subscribers). Subreddits with lots of comments tend to have more comments than less active ones. If you think there's been an error or really need more keywords, contact me and I'll see what I can do.
Where does the search volume come from?
Keyword volumes come from Grepwords, which is one of the best data sources at the moment as far as I've seen. You're free to export the keywords and run them through a keyword volume tool of your choice.
