Who should use keywordle.com?

keywordle.com is a very generic application so it's really up to the whims of the user as to what it's used for. Here are some possible applications:

3. Understanding how key terms in competitor's sites differ from yours

What is keywordle.com?

Keywordle.com is a 'mashup' that utilizes the public APIs of both google.com and yahoo.com

First we search google.com for information about the URL you have entered. We search within the site itself but also request results from google about sites which link to the URL as well as for results that google believes are related to the URL

Note: Because we use google as our primary search source, it's important that the site is listed in google.

Finally, we take the results of our google searches, and filter them using yahoo.com's "Term Extraction" service and display the resultant keywords!

How to use keywordle.com?

Enter your URL (ie., www.yoursitename.com) in the box provided and then hit the "Generate Keyword Suggestions" button

After the keywords have been returned and displayed, weed out those that you don't want by using the small delete button to the right of each keyword

Finally, choose the type of listing you are interested in, and click the appropriate button. Copy the tags and paste them into your own application.

Why keywordle.com?

Yes, "Keywordle" is a pretty dumb name for a site. But it does contain the term "keyword" and, frankly, all the decent names seem to have already been taken by domain name squatters and other tossers. So, what are you going to do?
