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!

Sudden keyword rankings drop
Hi, My latest MOZ report has indicated there has been a significant drop in ranking for 65 keywords, some by as much as 30 places. This is not something I have experienced before and seems very drastic. Is there a reasonable explanation or fix for this? Thanks for any advice!

Competitive keyword ranking
Hi, I'm checking the SEOMoz keyword rankings report. I've set about 30 keywords and it's awesome to see how they rank and how many times they were clicked. However it would be interesting to see whether the keywords that I entered are competitive or not. It's not worth putting a lot of energy in making non competitive words rank higher I guess. So my question is: is it possible to see whether or not ranked keywords are competitive or not? Thanks!

No idea where to start with keywords
I have a friend who owns an IT business in Pennsylvania. I have been on the adwords tool begging for keywords that people are searching for and I am getting no search results at all. I have tried all types of combinations- IT consultant Pennsylvania IT consultant PA network solutions pennsylvania computer tech pennsylvania ...and many variations thereof.
