Open as many of the listed pages in separate browser tabs as you would like to find valuable keywords from and watch the following video to see how to find valuable and often hidden keywords that you can use for your own websites, articles, and research.
Right-click on an empty space on each page and select View Page Source from the popup window. This will provide you with the code view, or “under the hood”, of the website.
There are many invaluable details hidden in the source code of each webpage that can help you mine for a variety of important keywords, in effect helping you write engaging and highly searched for content.
Next do a search (Command + f) on a Mac or (Ctrl + f) on Windows and search for <title>

The 2nd most important aspect to look at are the headings. So search for <h1> in the source code.

<h1>This almost always includes the main keywords a page is trying to rank for</h1> The h1 tag is the most important of all tags, it is the main heading. The remaining headings are sub-headings and are also important.

You will find something like:
<meta name="keywords" content=“1st important keyword, 2nd important keyword, 3rd important keyword, etc.“ /> Although Google does not consider the keyword tag when ranking websites, many SEO’s and website owners still load their meta keyword tag with their most important keywords, so this should always be your go-to place for keyword research.
