I was wondering if SEOmoz has any tools for finding longtail keywords
-
Hi all!
I'm new to the community and to SEOmoz, so there is definitely a chance I am misusing the already available tools. And I was sure to do a search for "longtail tools" before posting this question. But, does SEOmoz have any available tools for researching and suggesting longtail to target? ...similar to what HubSpots tool does
-
I don't know of one here at SEOmoz. I use the Google Adwords tool and WordTracker.

Very nice!

Thank you so much for the detailed and accurate responses. While your answers were very insightful --and really answered some questions I had not even known to ask-- I was really just trying to see if SEOmoz had a tool similar to HubSpot's that does all of that longtail research for you. I'm unsure if anybody is familiar with the tool I am referencing, but put simply, you enter the root and it returns a gambit of longtails that you should be targeting (calculated by volume of search and level of competition).

Here is what I do if I want to pull in traffic for a ton of long tail queries.
I decide upon the root keyword for the article and do research on that keyword to discover the RELATED topics that people are googling.
Let's say that my keyword is widgets and I use the google keyword tool and learn that people are searching for...
different types of widgets
who makes them
what they are made from
what color are they
history of widgets
etc. etc. etc.Then I write an article that addresses everything that everybody everywhere is asking for about widgets IN SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT.
Each of these subtopics for widgets is included on the page as subheadings
or
and described thoroughly with photos, illustrations, tables of data.
That is the start of a potentially killer page.
Google knows what people are asking for and they can recognize when content covers all of those details in a substantive, rich beyond text presentation.
I believe that people who have produced best-on-the web content that is substantive and complete will agree with me.
If you want an example look at a wikipedia page for a topic such as "Philadelphia".
An article like that can pull in fantastic traffic for the topic - even if you don't rank anywhere for "Philadelphia".

I would definitely suggest connecting your google analytics account and that'll give you a lot of keyword info.

Rank checking tool for keyword analysis
We are looking for an ideally free suitable rank checking tool to perform a keyword analysis. Previously we used Firefox Rank Checker but currently this is not working effectively as it once did. We use Authority Labs as a paid tool to track rankings but this is a rank tracking platform and not so effective for a once-off rank check to perform a keyword analysis. Any thoughts, help or ideas here would be super appreciated!

Moz Keyword Competition Analysis Tool
Hi Just been having a play around with the Moz Keyword Competition Tool and noticed that the reuslts given in terms of exact match searches is different from the data in the actual Google Adwords keyword tool even though the Moz tool pulls its data form the Google Adwords index so technically should be the same right? Was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that or if I am missing something. All you help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

Keyword Difficulty: High or Low?
Looked in the FAQ in the Keyword Difficulty tool but it didn't mention whether or not a higher % or lower % is better. I'm assuming that a higher % means that the keyword is more competitive, is that correct?

Google Keyword Estimator
Hello Does the Google traffic estimator include the impact of instant? For example, if I type the phrase "London restaurant", instant may provide a list of search results for the phrase "London restaurant guide" prior to me confirming whether or not I just want to search using the phrase "London restaurant". Is this registered in any way as a search for the phrase "London restaurant guide" (i.e. does Instant impact upon the search volumes presented in the Google traffic estimator)? In addition, is there any up to date assessment on how reliable the revised traffic estimator is? The tool currently suggests that for a well known brand we are working for does not have any search volume (over a whole year) for the brand keyphrase when used in isolation (there is traffic for various combinations of the brand and a generic term). However, as one would expect, our analytics data is showing that there are in excess of 1 million annual visitors that use the brand keyphrase in isolation to access the website via natural search and nearly 1.5 million via PPC. Is anyone else getting these problems? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Rgds Neil
