Looking to Research Keywords?
If you’re looking to research keywords, there are a number of tools for doing so on the web. The (major) ones I know of are:
- Wordtracker - http://wordtracker.com/ Wordtracher is nice because it is designed for SEO types rather than for ad buyer so the tool provides a score for which keywords appear underrepresented. It requires a subscription, but you can have unlimited free trials (only for MSN but that’s good enough).
- Google Adwords - https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Google’s tool is listed here second because it’s Google (85% marketshare?).
- KeywordDiscover - http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/ I’ve not tried this yet but I’ve heard good things about it from smart folks. I can’t see spending $40 / month though unless it’s superb.
- Digital Point - http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ You create a free account and it tracks keywords for you over time. It’s a great thing to set up and then foorget about. You need a Google API key but they have a link on the site for it.
- Yahoo Overture - http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ I’ve been using this one forever (since it was goto.com). I don’t know that there’s anything special about. Rumor is that in recent months it’s been getting less accurate, but I still like it. It’s really straight-forward… no login or anything.
