Any thoughts as to the best keyword tool about today?
-
I have found similar questions on the forum but is there a best keyword tool to use or is it a case of using a few and cross referecing them?

I totally agree with you Matt.
Nowadays even Google's Keyword suggestion tool is crap. Just check on what Rand talked about in a blog entry here on SEOmoz: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/be-careful-using-adwords-for-keyword-research
If it was me, I would go for Matt's solution: allocate time for keywords research, try to figure out how you potential visitor is thinking.

Probably not much help so I apologize in advance...
I find that I benefit more from using a range of tools. I don't particularly really have a favorite but to be honest I probably use Google Keyword Tool the most and then I use the keyword tools inside SEOmoz. Some tools do some things well but other things not so well... Each tool has its strengths.
The thing I try to do is bypass the tools as much as I can and be creative. Think as a potential customer (very cliche but think outside the box). Obviously you will still need to research search volumes afterwards but some of the best keywords (that bring in the most £) I rank for weren't found using tools.
Hopefully this helps, even if only a little!

I've also seen that you can get some data about this in Search Metrics but can't see where? Thanks for your help!

Setting Up a Keyword Matrix
Greetings MOZ community!! My real estate web site contains about 500 pages with perhaps 70 pages targeting low volume, somewhat valuable but not very competitive keywords. Three to four URLs target very competitive terms. The following terms are among the most valuable: New York City office space,
Keyword Research | | Kingalan1
New York office space,
Manhattan office space,
NYC office space Such variants as: Office space in New York City,
Office space in New York,
Office space in Manhattan,
Office space in NYC
ETCETERA convert really well How would I match different terms to different URLs? For example I have just re-written the following two critical URLs: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com (home page)
http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/office-space (product page) Would it make sense to use "Manhattan office space" and variants on the home page while excluding "New York City office space" variants? At the same time I would use "New York City office space" variants on the "office-space" product page while excluding all mention of "Manhattan office space". Is this logical and does it conform to SEO best practices? For the "NYC office space" terms I would add them to http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings. This URL has almost no text but a strong potential to rent because of a high number of incoming internal links. Is this approach sensible? In general what measures should I take to prevent URLs from competing for the same keywords? Also, is there a software package or tools that I can use to come up with keyword variants? As a non SEO professional, can I create my own keyword matrix or is this really in the realm of a professional SEO consultant? Thanks, Alan0 -
