I like this trick and use it each time in my keyword research. I came up with it after discovering the great AutoPagerize user script for Greasemonkey. It stimulates a lot of ideas quickly. In keyword research, where creativity is still a key ingredient, this trick not only makes for a great “jump in” point but also provides a bunch of terms that have a higher probability for success.
Take one keyword or keyword phrase and enter it into Google like this: allintitle: ~coffee products where coffee products would be the term you’re looking to expand upon. By using the tilde (~), you’re asking Google to display synonyms and related terms that Google may be using in their algorithm.
To make the process less arduous for Firefox users install the Greasemonkey add-on. Greasemonkey accepts user scripts for on-the-fly editing of many HTML pages, including Google SERPs. The user script Autopagerize can be installed easily into Greasemonkey, and when activated, allows Google to scroll on forever.
Grab a mouse with a scroll wheel and start scrolling down. Within a few minutes you’ll be able to see hundreds of listings and a myriad of different ideas. Jot down the ones that you like, and when your hand is tired, enter the terms into your favorite keyword discovery tool.
Any more tips on using Google search for keyword brainstorming? Please share them in the comments!
Tried it for fat loss. Results were pretty predictable i.e weight loss. But I can see this tip being useful for less popular keywords

HI Ann,
I have installed both the tools you had mentioned in this post and found major SERP result difference.
Where I have opened two firefox profile, One is default and another is my personal profile, In the default profile where I have installed Greasemonkey and Autopagerize got different result for the key word CRM. Where as in my personal profile got surprisingly different SERP.
My question here to you ‘Ann’ how to over come this problem?
Do we need to switch off Autopagerize? If yes after reloading the page it is again getting auto on..
I am really confused with this tool Ann…
It will be difficult to switch to different profiles just to check SERP right?
Looking forward to your very smart reply(:-

Does using the ~ only work in Google? I can see where this technique works well for less common keywords, but when you use it search more popular one you are just going to get results that expect or already know.
