Amazon Keyword Tool Search Modes.
Try placing the asterisk in front and in the middle of words, like this.
PRO TIP - Try an asterisk (*): example yoga * mat or led * lights or * led lights
- sand * mold
- * sand mold
- * sand
Every relevant keyword counts.
Once you think you have exhausted all your options, go for the deep keyword search.
Try every letter in the alphabet with the search term using an asterisk (or wildcard character).
Like this for the phrase sand mold
- sand mold a*
- sand mold b*
- sand mold c*
- sand mold ...*
- sand mold x*
- sand mold y*
- sand mold z*
These searches may not return a lot of new keyword suggestions, but the number of low-cost bidding longtail keywords makes the effort well worth the extra time.
You can try the same technique with the a* in the middle of the words or at the beginning, like this.
- a* sand mold
- sand a* mold
