We manage a large keyword list (30,000+) and it would be extremely helpful to be able to tag keywords with certain attributes. Something a little more robust then being able to add a color (not to mention we can't sort by color currently). So being able to tag keywords, and filter by those tags later. So I could have a keyword tagged with "test1" "test2" "test3" etc... and be able to look at "test1" as the subset of all my keywords that have the tag "test1".
Currently to do this I have to create separate projects, which means more projects to maintain, as well as duplicate keyword ranking lookups for each project...
Looks like you can do what you need using the "notes" column. Please right-click any column's header and add the "Notes" column to your workspace - you can assign same notes to groups of keywords and later sort by the notes column.
I don't think notes will do what I want, correct me if I'm wrong.
If I have a keyword with the notes "test1 abc2" and I want to find all the keywords that have ONLY abc2, sorting by notes will not group abc2 with the a's.
The way I speak of allows for more flexibility in tagging/grouping
I'm revisiting this as I do not think the notes column works well for my needs...
I want to bulk add "Notes" to multiple keywords, but this is not allowed... I have to manually add notes to each keyword which is VERY time consuming.
This is where I think the "tagging" feature I requested would be useful. So I can break 1000 or so keywords out of my 50,000 keyword list and tag them towards a particular campaign.
Even better then bulk tagging, it would be great to be able to give Rank Tracker a specific set of keywords (that I may or may not be tracking yet) and add a tag to those keywords. In my company, I'm given a list of keywords to track for a campaign... I'd like to segment out those specific keywords. I think many other large companies would benefit from such a feature as well.
I am only a newbie at SEO Powersuite and SEO in general and I am in total agreement with you regarding filters etc. This is my major grip with this software in all modules, is the lack of filtering and being able to create subsets of keywords to work on.
We all know that keyword research is the foundation to SEO and quite often I have had a refined list and wanted to dig deeper in to a keyword to find that little gem keyword that is related strongly to the seed word with low competition and good searches, but more importantly, none of the competition are using it.
