Best keyword research tool
-
Okay, what is the BEST keyword research tool?
I've heard all across the board, but I'm looking for preferrably a free tool, but just want to use one that can do competitive research, as well as find me a ton of long tail.
-
I was not pleased with Spyfu. Though their Recon reports look great, as they provide data on how much you profit is to be had by ranking higher on certain terms.
I am looking forward to using the SEOmoz reports and adding in Adgooroo's Tornado reports (which also supply missed profit) for clients.
-
I have used all the tools mentioned above, but what I'm impressed is that AdGooroo is the only one that offers multi-market, mutli-search engine reports but their reporting suite is pretty basic.
-
Wordtracker is also a tool that hasn't been mentioned yet. It is paid, but looks at keywords a different way and usually includes ideas for me that I have not previously thought of or discovered using SEOmoz's tools or Google Adword's Keyword Tool.
-
Couldn't install it as it says it's not compatible with firefox 5.0
-
When you say SEOmoz tool, do you mean Competitive Link Research Tool?
-
I also use the free KeywordSpy plugin
-
Pretty much the same... I use SEOmoz tool, Keywordspy and Adwords
-
The three I use are the SEOmoz tool, Spyfu, and the google adwords tool. I'm looking forward to see what everyone else uses!
Edit: To clarify I'm talking about the term extractor specifically, but all the keyword tools can help steer your keyword strategy.

What does it mean when two keywords in Google's Keyword Research Tool have exactly the same amount of searches?
The two keywords are [publicity] and [product placement] (both in exact search - not broad) and have 22,200 searches each. Is it purely coincidental or are the two keywords kind of related in Google's eyes and that's why we're seeing the same amount of searches for each?

Google Trends not Consistent with Google Keyword Tool
Hi Everyone, I was doing a little Google Trends research on Real Estate and narrowed it down to my state. I have found that on Trends it is showing a two or three towns above the one I am living in showing that it gets a lot of search volume. They will put the top one as a 1 and then the others below it as like .87 or .675 etc. I am taking that as 87% of the top one or 67.5% of the top city in search volume. I checked these numbers against the Google Keyword Tool and found that my town still gets more exact visits (4 times the amount of the one Google Trends ranks #1) I can't see the actual search volume on Google Trends but was wondering....Which one do you trust? I have done some testing on it and realized that for the most part, the numbers in the keyword tool RARELY change. Do they maybe update it once per year? FYI: As you know I trended real estate so what I did on the Keyword tool is "Town State Real Estate" and looked at both Broad and Exact searches. I would appreciate any guidance you guys can give on how I should be paying attention to this data. Thanks!

How do I balance conflicting keyword research tools?
We've been using Wordtracker for years to find viable long tail keyword options. Lately, we've begun to doubt the true usefulness of this tool. We have implemented good optimization efforts using relevant keywords that Wordtracker suggests as reasonably well-searched with relatively low competition. Even when we rank well for these words, we get no traffic for them. Subsequent checking of these words in Google AdWords reveal that Google has found no searches for these words at all. Suspicious, we've begun cross-checking our keywords in AdWords and the Moz Keyword Difficulty tool. But now I keep getting contradictory reports. For example, a keyword I recently checked reported thus: In Wordtracker: high competition and low search In AdWords: high competition and decent search In Moz: only moderately competitive Who do I believe? How do other people weight the opinions of the various keyword research tools?
