allintitle: "ebay store design" v "ebay store design"

[JZ100K]

As the title states, which is the correct term to use when researching competition volume please.

allintitle: "ebay store design" only has like 5000 competition where as "ebay store design" has 500.000+ competition in google.

Many thanks guys.

Regards John

JZ100K,

For one, you posted this in the middle of the night here in the US. Give people a chance to get on-lline.

Second, what exactly are you asking? The two sets of words look exactly the same.

Okay, it took me several minutes of staring at the words—because they look exactly the same to me too—but I think he's asking about using allintitle as opposed to not using it. If that's true, John, then neither way is right or wrong; they're ways of finding out two different things.

When you use allintitle, it's going to return all the pages that have "ebay store design" in the meta title of the page, meaning that the webmaster has optimized for that term and may be tougher to beat than someone who has not put that term in their title.

When you simply put "ebay store design" into the search bar without allintitle (but with the quotes), it will return all pages that have that term somewhere on the page, but the pages are not necessarily optimized for it. The number of results will pretty much always be higher than if you use allintitle.

Sorry Ron, I will bare that in mind next time, I just thought people had read it and not bothered replying. And the post was going down the endless posted threads and then it would never get read.

Anways MANY THANKS TO MISS LAURA

You hit the nail on the head, sorry if I did not make the question clear enough.

But yes I was wondering, because one result showed 5000 results (with " ") while the other showed 700.000 results (with intitle"").

Okay well you learn something useful everyday, many thanks for being my teacher for the day Laura.

Have a nice day.

I learned that in order to find out the true competition I should type like this:

intitle:"ebay template" inurl"ebay template"

IS this correct?

Because how do I really know if the competition I am competing with is 300.000, 600.000 or 10?

because if you type in these terms you get various results!

"ebay template"
inurl"ebay template"
intitle"ebay template"
allinurl"ebay template"
allintitle"ebay template"
intitle"ebay template" inurl"ebaytemplate"

Can someone clarify please!!!!

I have found some keywords BUT I JUST DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE ANY GOOD OR NOT!

1. no space after the query and follow the query with a colon - allintitle:"ebay design" not allintitle: "ebay design" - adding the space just searches for the words within quotes.

2. for an explanation of special queries, see Google Search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Search options
The webpages maintained by the Google Help Center have text describing more than 15 various search options.<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-0 class=reference>[21]</SUP> The Google operators:

• OR – Search for either one, such as "price high OR low" searches for "price" with "high" or "low".
• "-" – Search while excluding a word, such as "apple -tree" searches where word "tree" is not used.
• "+" – Force inclusion of a word, such as "Name +of +the Game" to require the words "of" & "the" to appear on a matching page.
• "*" – Wildcard operator to match any words between other specific words.

Some of the query options are as follows:

• define: – The query prefix "define:" will provide a definition<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-1 class=reference>[21]</SUP> of the words listed after it.
• stocks: – After "stocks:" the query terms are treated as stock ticker symbols<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-2 class=reference>[21]</SUP> for lookup.
• site: – Restrict the results to those websites in the given domain,<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-3 class=reference>[21]</SUP> such as, site:www.acmeacme.com. The option "site:com" will search all domain URLs named with ".com" (no space after "site:").
• allintitle: – Only the page titles are searched<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-4 class=reference>[21]</SUP> (not the remaining text on each webpage).
• intitle: – Prefix to search in a webpage title,<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-5 class=reference>[21]</SUP> such as "intitle:google search" will list pages with word "google" in title, and word "search" anywhere (no space after "intitle:").
• allinurl: – Only the page URL address lines are searched<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-6 class=reference>[21]</SUP> (not the text inside each webpage).
• inurl: – Prefix for each word to be found in the URL;<SUP id=cite_ref-GH_20-7 class=reference>[21]</SUP> others words are matched anywhere, such as "inurl:acme search" matches "acme" in a URL, but matches "search" anywhere (no space after "inurl:").

The page-display options (or query types) are:

• cache: – Highlights the search-words within the cached document, such as "cache:Google xxx" shows cached content with word "xxx" highlighted.
• link: – The prefix "link:" will list webpages that have links to the specified webpage, such as "link:www.google.com" lists webpages linking to the Google homepage.
• related: – The prefix "related:" will list webpages that are "similar" to a specified web page.
• info: – The prefix "info:" will display some background information about one specified webpage, such as, info:Google. Typically, the info is the first text (160 bytes, about 23 words) contained in the page, displayed in the style of a results entry (for just the 1 page as matching the search).
• filetype: - results will only show files of the desired type (ex filetypedf will return pdf files)

Note that Google searches the HTML coding inside a webpage, not the screen appearance: the words displayed on a screen might not be listed in the same order in the HTML coding.

So based on the definition above. Would you say this keyword is good?
in a normal google search is gets 199.000.000 competition and on the extreme super concentrated search it gets 9 results: (inurl:"keyword intitle:"keyword").

Thanks alot.
