Best Keyword Tool
-
WE are a small Internet marketing agency and of need of a new keyword tool. We were using Market Sumeria but they lost access to Google.
What would you recommend? I'm not looking for a free service but a good service under $100 per month.

Thanks for your input.
Has anyone tried SE Cockpit? It is a bit expensive but seems to do a comprehensive job and uses data from SEOmoz.

I'm a huge fan of Long Tail Pro. It uses the GAKT to pull keyword data and then you can sort by a number of criteria to find the best keywords to target. They offer a Platinum level which is only $17/month and uses the SEOmoz API for determining keyword difficulty/competition. If you enjoyed Market Samurai, Long Tail Pro is quite similar but I actually prefer it over MS.

We try them all out from time to time. I would suggest that you do the same since what your needs are may be more specific for one than another. At the same time I will tell you that for me, I still think of Google's Keyword Tool as very useful on a lot of levels.
With Google's Keyword Opportunities Beta, I find I am able to be quick and thorough. For competitive research, there are plenty of tools. For setting up the direction for a client site, etc. Google's works for me.
Here is a good description of the Beta on SEL by Crosby Grant.
Hope that helps,
Robert

National keyword results v local keyword results
If the keyword contains the location term like "SEO company London" is it better to use the wider results over local? Additionally, some best practice examples of national v local result tracking would be great 🙂 Darren

The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.
Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Best way to find keyword to write a post that will get 50 visitors a day in Google traffic?
Hi - I have a blog with good PR (4) but not much search traffic. I am interested in targeting keywords on a single blog post basis rather than site wide. The current search traffic is so low I can't really base looking for keywords off the keywords people are already arriving from. The only tool I know is the Google keyword tool. I am tired of writing posts that get zero search visitors most days, so would like to try to target some terms that will get around 50 search visits per day to that specific post. Best approach?

Keyword Research tool time-effort equivalent
SEOMoz's keyword research tool is awesome, but what does the competitiveness actually mean in terms of time/effort? I've read the help file which is great but to get an idea, to rank for highly competitive keywords, is that 12 months of constant effort, link-building and keyword buying or more like 3 months? (how massive is massive?) I know its a hard question to answer, but an idea would be awesome. Thanks to anyone that can answer in advance...

What do broad match keywords represent?
Exact match is perfectly easy for me to get my head around - broad match, not so much! Take the phrase, "removing blueberry stains." Is the broad match data for this that I'm seeing in the Google keyword tool for searches that involve any of these particular words, in any phrase, in any order - just so long as they're all there? Any help with this concept would be much appreciated.

Is this keyword cannibalization?
Hi, Is using keywords in different orders considered keyword cannibalization? for example, if I my client has a catering business based in mississauga, Ontario, should I create separate 2nd tier pages on the following keywords? 1. mississauga catering 2. catering mississauga 3. catering in mississauga Is that keyword cannibalization? The reason I ask is because it's often hard to find a good # of diverse keywords for local businesses that are also used more than a few times each month in the search engines. thanks, Martin
