❓ FAQ:
Q: Why is VidIQ's keyword score considered vague in 2026?
A: VidIQ often focuses on broad volume and competition metrics that don't account for the 'rankability' of small channels or the specific SEO optimization of existing videos.
Q: What is the best way to find profitable keywords for youtube affiliate channels?
A: The most effective way is to identify small channels (under 5k subs) ranking for transactional 'review' keywords and analyzing the 'thinness' of their content.
Q: How do I use Perplexity for keyword research?
A: Use Perplexity to generate a list of the top 20 tools in a niche, then append 'review' to each tool name to create a list of transactional keywords.
