Features to Using the Keyword Cleaner & Stripper
The Keyword List Cleaner & Number Stripper is a free tool from SEO Book that you can download and embed in your website that allows you to enter keywords generated from most any source, sort it in order of the most valuable terms, and clean it up.
The keyword list cleaning tool allows you to:
Make alphanumeric: removes commas, periods and symbols like &#%
Strip numbers: removes numbers 0 through 9 and the – symbol
Strip bad words: you may want to remove words like “free” from your list. The tool will remove that word from phrases while leaving the rest of the phrase in tact.
Strip any phrase that contains a bad word: a keyword suggestion list may include terms that are related to your market, but not on topic to your niche. The tool will remove phrases that are off topic.
This is a handy tool for quickly editing long keyword lists that are generated from one or more sources. After the list is cleaned up, you can upload the list to the Google Traffic Estimator tool to sort the results by search volume, bid price, or estimated daily budget to highlight the most valuable terms.
