Joys of Keyword Research - The Funnies ;-)

Internet marketing and keyword research are going together like earth quakes and tectonic plates, but sometimes keyword research can result in some earth shattering laughter ;-)

Keyword research can be dull, repetitive and boring, ok, unless you are a data and stats nerd like me, that just devours yummy data. But there is a hidden, joyful side to the task. One that gives you a glimpse on how the human mind works and what the deepest desires of the human soul are ;-) Here my latest favorites of keyword research gone funny. Sit back and enjoy. If you want to write about one of these keyword phrases, please don't hesitate to drop me a note and I will gladly include a link to your finished work in this article - don't forget to add a bit of humor to it, the true spice of online writing!

Best fans in the world

A staggering 6,600 people discuss monthly who are the 'best fans in the world', really? Are these the so-called celebrities or are these the fans that want to be better than other fans? Kind of makes me wonder ...

Or are these people that are actually looking to buy a fan, like those on the left. Not sure if they are the 'best fans in the world', but they are pretty popular at Amazon at the moment ;-)

How to become humble

Kind of frightening that only 140 searchers each month have the noble goal of becoming more humble. And me wonders also why they turn to the interwebs for their quest, but perhaps they are already too humble to ask a real person???

Humility on Wikipedia

... or is that a contradiction in terms?

Humility is the quality of being modest and respectful. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe ...

Try different keywords try more general keywords try fewer keywords

That one looks like 22 very desperate internet marketers to me. Try different keywords try more general keywords try fewer keywords - 22 people look every month for this search string. My suggestion to them would be - try to find keywords you actually know something about ;-)

How to become rich overnight

How to become rich overnight, that is the question 320 people ask the Google search engine each month. And with the economy as it is, I predict with authority that this number will increase as times go by ...

But seriously now, whilst I can't sell you the secret on 'how to get rich overnight' I can tell you with authority how NOT to get rich overnight:

  • Playing around on Facebook will NOT make you rich overnight!
  • Buying the newest shiny tool that a self-proclaimed internet marketing guru flocks via his email list will NOT get you rich over night!
  • Buying more ebooks on how to make money online will NOT make you rich over night!

But if you are serious about the whole business and willing to put some really hard work into it, you can always sign up here at Wizzley (it is free!) and start writing. Over time you will make a nice, additional income from it, that I know as a fact ;-)

Wanna get rich over night and lose weight? Then this book is for you ;-)

How to become king

... or queen, depending on your gender ;-)

170 people each month rack their brains about 'How to become king', I haven't checked the amount that are looking to become a queen, but I guess it is similar ;-) So, just for you, here some easy ways to become a king or a queen:

Easiest and most secure one: Make sure you are born into a reigning royal family, preferable as the first born - your success will be guaranteed!

Marry one: This one is more for the prospective queens, as the best that men that marry into royal houses can expect to achieve is becoming prince consort. Not bad, but also not the real deal ;-)

Found a kingdom: Yup, just get your hands on a piece of land and declare it to be the 'kingdom of whatever name you chose'. Has been done before, a great story how it worked on the link on the right! ...

Kingdom of Wallachia

"Kingdom of Wallachia", named after the region of Moravian Wallachia, is a tongue-in-cheek micronation that was founded in 1997 by the photo...

How to become immortal

The quest for immortality sends a staggering 1000 people each month on online research. How to become immortal is what they are looking for and what they find are mainly offers of freezing their body after their death in the hope that they can be revived in a more advanced future, but there are other ways to become immortal:

  • Do something for others, not for yourself and you will become immortal in the hearts of many people.
  • Write a great piece of music, paint a master piece or write a book that becomes a bestseller are ways to, temporary immortality, at least until somebody comes that does it better then you ;-)
  • Have children and raise them well - you will live in them and their children and grand children for many generations to come!

How to become invisible

Oh, sometimes I wish I would know how to become invisible and so are 1,000 more people every single month ;-) Being invisible at will has some real advantages like avoiding people you really don't want to meet or simply being able to sneak up undetected on people on Halloween to yell 'Booo!'

Whilst there is no warranty that it works, the invisibility cloak on the right is actually for sale on Amazon and for more Harry Potter goodies check out my articles at the list below:

  • Cloak of Invisibility

  • Harry Potter

    Harry Potter is my, not so secret, addiction! Here all my articles I have published so far about this subject on Wizzley.

How to become God???

Are you really sure you want that job? Seriously, are 320 people each month looking for 'how to become God' and do they know what they would get themselves into? First one problem, if you are a believer, you know that the job is taken already and if you are a non-believer, also called an atheist or agnostic, you don't believe in the job in the first place - so why do you want something that you don't believe in???

For a really funny, but still thought provoking story, check out the movie below. I don't want to spoil it for you, but just imagine for a moment that you would hear every single prayer uttered on this planet, every single moment ... Do you really want to become God???

Had a good laugh especially the one part about how to become King? Nice job and thanks for sharing.

SamOct 13, 2012

Now there is a nice idea for you for an article here "How to become a vampire / werewolf' ;-) But yes, some keyword researches are scary ...

belinda342Oct 13, 2012

Fun page! My favorite keyword researches so far was when I was looking up phrases for Vampire and Werewolf (I write Urban Fantasy on the side). A surprising number of people each month would like to know how to become vampires and werewolves! Kind of scary, if you think about it...

SamOct 1, 2012

You are welcome Roy!

WizzRoyOct 1, 2012

Had a good laugh. Thanks.

SamSep 3, 2012

Thanks a lot Mira, now that we can see directly here on Wizzley what keywords brought somebody to our articles I feel a new idea taking shape - "Funniest keyword - article mismatches" ;-)

MiraSep 3, 2012

You're really talented :-) I had a great time reading this article. Will certainly look forward to any new article from you, and will make sure I read all your past ones: you have convinced me with this piece and another one I commented on previously that it's worth it :-)

SamAug 14, 2012

Thanks Crissaegrim! I am not sure about the genius bit, but I am glad I made you laugh ;-) SY

CrissaegrimAug 14, 2012

This is one really made me laugh. You are a genius!

SamJul 23, 2012

@cabmgmnt, if you do so, pm me the link to your article here on Wizzley and I included it in this one ;-) SY

cabmgmntJul 23, 2012

Nice article...it made me laugh. people really google 'how to become immortal?" hmmm maybe i will follow your keyword results and use it as a basis for an article...very interesting.

BarbRadJun 26, 2012

What fun to read! And a sneaky way to interest people in your links, as well. Clever.

SamApr 24, 2012

Thanks humma, glad I could help ;-)

hummaApr 24, 2012

I have to admit I did not expect to enjoy this page. You have piqued my interest in some other topics and pages.

SamApr 21, 2012

ROFL! That is hilarious Jo! Never heart of him, perhaps you should write an article about his majesty?

JoHarringtonApr 20, 2012

How can you forget his Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, the Emperor of the United States of America? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton

Or was it kings only? :)

SamApr 19, 2012

Yes, that one was also my favorite I found doing keyword research ;-)

EducationInfo4UApr 19, 2012

This is really funny and interesting !!! Especially the last three , "How to become God"...Really!

SamApr 15, 2012

Thank you Donna, yes, a cloak like that could come in handy from time to time ;-)

Donna_CosmatoApr 14, 2012

Great and amusing read; congratulations on the Editor's Choice Award! My favorite of all these is the invisibility cloak as I can envision lots of uses for such a wonderful tool!

SamApr 12, 2012

You are welcome Whitemoss, glad you enjoyed it!

whitemossApr 12, 2012

Thanks for the laughs. A good read!

SamApr 12, 2012

Lol, yes, DrDrako, sometimes I laugh so much doing keyword research that I get hardly any work done ;-)

DrDarkoApr 12, 2012

People do search for the most baffling things. Great post Sam!
Who would have thought that you can have so many laughs with keyword research...

SamApr 10, 2012

@lakeerieartists
Yup, a girl needs to have fun from time to time in this business ;-)

SamApr 10, 2012

@ onepagearticles
That is the danger, isn't it, to get lost in the mysteries of keyword research - and the human mind ;-)

SamApr 10, 2012

@Angel
I just loved doing it, what else can a stats / data geek do then writing about strange keyword date? And yes, having no screaming kids running around helps a lot - just a screaming, elderly cat in my case ;-)And thanks for the congrats, as a non English speaker that reward (my 5th!) means a lot to me!

lakeerieartistsApr 10, 2012

The light side of keyword research or at least the interesting searches of humanity. :)

onepagearticlesApr 10, 2012

Lol! it is a good exercise in relaxing when you type in a funny keyword phrase and see what the results are. I do this a lot and then waste time a lot looking for daft stuff within daft stuff.

AngelApr 10, 2012

A very clever article Sam! I love it. I am surprised at some of the commonly searched phrases that come up as I do my keyword research too. Amazing. I would have never thought to write about it though..You are so smart - Sometimes I wish my brain would get that creative. Might be the screaming kids running around the house while I try to write?! Congrats on your Editor's Choice Award.. another great article that deserves it.

SamApr 10, 2012

@eslevy17
Good one, but fortunately I have no idea whatsoever what these Skyrim keywords are all about that keep creeping up in my research - I leave them to the experts ;-)

eslevy17Apr 10, 2012

If you look up "how to" in Google, the number 3 suggestion right now is "how to get married in Skyrim." It's awesome. Of all the things in the universe that people want to learn how to do, that one gets a bronze medal.

SamApr 10, 2012

@Marko
Glad you do, I had a lot of fun writing it ;-)

MarkoApr 10, 2012

Good sense of humor, Sam. I like this page!

SamApr 10, 2012

@Mladen
Thanks! Yes, people are strange, but that is kind of the spice in the 'human soup' if we all would be 'normal' and without ambitions, how boring would that be???
@Lissie
Lol, some might be insane and some just off with the fairies, how great is that! I like people that are considered to be 'unusual' by normal standards, if those standards ever existed ;-) And thanks for the link, there might be material in it for another subversive article ;-)

LissieApr 10, 2012

BTW I think there may be more people wanting to become a queen rather than a king http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_queen

LissieApr 10, 2012

Trying to figure out whether some of these people are insane, or just very, very bored at work!

MladenApr 10, 2012

This is an excellent article, Sam! Very amusing. I would never come up with such searches you mentioned in your article. Now, really: how to become a king??? :)
People are strange.

SamApr 10, 2012

You are welcome Chef, there are more funny keywords to come! And thanks for the award also, highly appreciated!

chefkeemApr 10, 2012

Thanks for this amusing read, Sam. :)
