Where do you Peoples Get Keyword Ideas?
-
Hey everybody,
I thought I would get your opinions on the sites where you like to mine keyword phrases.
Before determining competition, I like to get ideas from the Adwords Tool, Keyword Optimizer Pro (a Google suggest scraper), Insights, Trends, and by looking at the phrases competitors are optimized for.
How about you guys?

Doing research on this right now. Given the vast majority of free tools have query limitations. The following appears at present to be the strongest solutions:
free - https://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/searches, http://soovle.com, http://ubersuggest.org, http://keywordsuggest.org/, http://www.google.com/trends/
free & paid solution - http://www.keywordeye.com $9.99 pro per month
free 10 day trial - longtailpro.com
quality paid solutions - http://www.semrush.com $79.95 per month, http://www.wordtracker.com $69 per month,
Some of the paid services functionality overlap moz.com so it would not be worth paying just for just a keyword suggestion/scraper tool in my opinion.

I have been using Long Tail Pro for a while, and the results are good.

Wow...multi-talented!

Awesome!

No problem, I was just really struck by the humor in sitting there that morning. Thanks to you and all at SEOmoz for putting out a really great product and standing behind it. I really mean it. It changes peoples outcomes.

A Holiday poem for a Q+A answer? I love it! Thanks for adding some extra fun in Robert

I start with my brain and then use adwords keyword tool to set priorities. If you know your content area well then that should be enough to do the job.
If you don't know the content niche then snoop some competitor sites - the ones that you think are the most successful and dominating the SERPs.

Jared,
As I got my coffee and realized the news of the world had not changed I opened up the computer and saw your question. I immediately thought of one not mentioned in your list: WordTracker. I just started using it so jury is out and I still like keywords tool. James Norquay did a nice post on youmoz on advanced keyword research that is worth the read.
Before I wrote a response to your question I was struck by how it was Christmas and I was looking at work. But, it really isn't work to me. (And we do our celebrating on Christmas Eve for any who think I may be a Grinch). So, I started writing about keywords and Christmas. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
As the family rises for Christmas,,,much slower than me,
I jump on the moz to see what could be key.
One clients a lawyer, another sells skis,
I just gotta wonder what words will be keys?To find one a case or the other a sale,
Then my clients smile brighter, and don't send me hate mail.
My PPC group has it easy you see,
Just send them some money as leads they aren't free!I tell clients slow down, analyze and take heed,
If you slow down a bit - less money you'll need.
I understand well, you just want it now,
but you gave me a field, and it has to get plowed.
It's a field full of holes and rocks, and nothing that matches.
but we'll find a way when an idea catches.Then you'll call me brilliant, "those records he smashes!!"
But it just took some digging so your money's not ashes.
Then back to the moz, to Shah, to Ryan, to EGOL, and associate's one through thirty three,
Gianluca, Rand, Keri, Alan, Cyrus, don't forget Dr. Pete,Some I didn't name cause my wife's coming down the stairs,
When she sees me at 'work', it will be stares!
But thanks SEOmozzers for the help small and in batches,
More questions tomorrow about words and matches!!It so easy for the others, NUMBER ONES GUARANTEED!!
But with me and you Mozzers
Next year's guaranteers, damn well better take HEED!
**Wishing each of you a wonderful, prosperous, New Year. ** -
Adwords tool for me also. Once signed in you get 800 results which is more than enough to get going with. Used to use Wordze but the less said about the quality of their results these days, the better!

Using city location in keywords?
Hi all, new to SEO MOZ and SEO in general. I'm trying to do some keyword research to choose keywords and keyphrases for on page SEO as well as an Adwords campaign for a real estate agency that focuses on luxury high rise condos and homes in the Dallas area. My question is, when choosing keywords do you need to include your location in the key phrase? For instance luxury real estate or dallas luxury real estate? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Google Webmaster Keyword Significance.
In my google webmaster tools the most significant keyword google attaches to my site is word 'VAT' as in, Value Added Tax. Followed by Basket. I can see why this is, as the word VAT and Basket is on every product page, but it really is not a keyword I want to target. Does this have any negative effect on other keywords I am targeting? What should I do about this? Here is the site: https://www.loveelectronics.co.uk

For the Irish market I have got the two domain names: www.vehicletracking.ie www.gpstracking.ie Have a very poor landing page on www.vehicletracking.ie and just redirecting www.gpstracking.ie to our site.
