What is the Google Wonder Wheel

By Jim Hardin on August 2nd, 2009

Has anyone seen this new tool on Google.  Its called Wonder Wheel.  I was reading about it on ProBlogger. 

So how do you get to it? 
Let my try to explain.

Go to Google and enter something you want to search for.  Hit Enter.

Now if you look to the top left of your screen right were it says Web right next to Web you will see it says Show Options. Click on Show Options

Now on the left hand site under Standard View you will see Wonder Wheel.  Click on it.

What Pops up is a diagram with your keyword in the middle and other related keywords around it.  Then what you can do is click one of the keywords around it to drill down further and get more related keywords.  It makes a spider web of words.  It is pretty cool!

I wish I could make a video like ProBlogger, but I don’t know how to do that yet.  So here is a link to their site.  They explain it a lot better than me.  Just Click Below

   I am not sure how I would be in a video. Maybe I will try it sometime, but for now I think I am going to stay with posting.

   Hi Jim,

   Thought I’d pop over and check out your site.

   I’d never heard of the Google Wonder Wheel, but this looks a fantastic tool for identifying alternative keywords and finding out what people are searching on in forums.

   It would be worth trying out and then writing a little case study for your blog.

   Keep in touch,
   John

   Hi Jim,

   I’ve been having a little play with the wonder wheel and think it could also be used to help plan the business.

   A bit like mind manager, once you input a subject … say squeeze page it comes up with the topics you may need to do to build that squeeze page.

   This is really cool and well worth blogging about.

   Nice Find
   John
