Keyword Attributes
Each keyword has a variety of attributes that influence how the the keyword generation logic works when that keyword is selected. These attributes can be set in the keyword editing dialog by right-clicking the keyword in the hierarchy tree and selecting “Edit”.
Attibute | Description |
---|---|
Name | Pretty self-explanatory here. This is the name of the keyword and will show up in the generated list of keywords when the keyword is selected. |
Synonyms | These are additional terms that you want to be included in the generated list of keywords when the keyword is selected. By defining synonyms of a keyword, it means you select just a single keyword and have all of its synonyms generated along with it. |
Exclude from output | This attribute indicates whether the keyword should be excluded from the generated output when the keyword is selected. This is useful for keywords that are defined for organization purposes and do not have names that are suitable for the generated output. An example of this is if you had a keyword named “Plant” so you could organize various plant-related keywords but don’t actually want “Plant” to be included in the output because it’s too general. |
Related Keywords | This is a very powerful feature of Keyword Complete that allows a keyword to reference another keyword somewhere else in the hierarchy. When the first keyword is selected, the keyword generation logic includes all of the related keywords as well. For example, let’s say you have the following keyword hierarchy: Mountain > Volcanic Mountain, Hawaii > Mauna Kea. Since Mauna Kea is a volcanic mountain, it makes sense to configure it to reference “Volcanic Mountain” as a related keyword. If you then select the “Mauna Kea” keyword, the following set of keywords will automatically be generated: Hawaii, Mauna Kea, Mountain, Volcanic Mountain. |
