Long Tail Pro - It's invaluable for finding long tail keywords that have decent search volume with low competition. Simply plug in 4 or 5 keywords and it automatically and instantly retrieves thousands of related keywords from the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. Then you can sort and filter by various criteria, but what is most useful is sorting by competition which uses the SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty API. It's by far my favorite keyword research tool at the moment. http://longtailpro.com/ (the website kinda makes it look like a spammy "Internet Marketer/Get Rich Quick" product but I swear it's legit!)

I completely agree with you.
I keep a close eye on this little details and it does make a difference especially when the industry you are in is a niche.
I found that most of the keywords that drive traffic and sales (also on my PPC campaigns) are completely different from the one I had thought about.
Also when optimizing your content you better use the people you work with and customers as a "keyword tool" you will discover a lot of new possibility and it gives you a better understanding on how people search.

Wholeheartedly agree on that one. You don't hear that often enough and from enough people. May not be as quick as typing a few things into AdWords and hoping for good results but we've found some great terms just by listening to people.

The people who answer the telephone.... the people who work the sales floor....
.... they know the words that new customers use to ask for the items that are sold.

Thanks for your response. http://ubersuggest.org/ is a new website for me. I hope I'll get some good result via this tool.

Google Trends (gives Geo/Time data), KeywordSpy & SpyFu.

search your term, scrapes all results from google instant, plug into google keyword tool and wa-la.

For me, its Google's keyword tool. It gives you estimates on volume of search's and suggests keywords you may not have thought of. <cite>https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool</cite>
And its free!

How many keywords do you recommend tracking?
I am working through thousands of organic keywords and would like to create a list of core keywords. I want the list to be small enough that we can really go after these keywords and track progress. I work for a B2B software company. I am thinking between 20-30 but I would love to hear any tips, opinions and recommendations! Thank you!

Optimizing a Webpage without keywords
Hi all, I’m really running into a challenge internally lately in that we have a lot of teams redesigning or building new pages (specificially one team) that do NOT loop our teams in. When we finally get them to work with us, to drive traffic to the pages, they disagree that there must be other ways of optimizing the pages than focusing on keywords with search volume that are relevant to the page. We usually land that they will choose a keyword or two they think a user will search for, we do keyword research and pick something close (because they don’t want to utilize a term that doesn’t make much sense, as they have written the content without involving us from the beginning, but then our search volume is declining). They keep saying there are other ways than changing the paired down content on their page and adding in keywords to the H1 headers, content on page. they mentioned semantic search at one point. For example, https://www.entrust.com/products/entrust-getaccess/ currently ranks around #10 for "single sign on solution." This keyword was on the previous page quite a few times in headers and body copy. Now it appears on the page 3 times after the redesign and is not in the h1. The team does for example want to optimize for this term, but there’s lots of pushback as they want a page with minimal content and little design. Just wondering your thoughts on this. IS this a common challenge you deal with too and any idea on answers as I've tried many with the teams? Thanks, Laura

How reliable is GWT's keyword data & what is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for?
I have been monitoring the query data (keywords, average position, CTR, etc.) in GWT, but sometimes the ranking data seems off. I filter the dates for the past week, so it is the most recent. I manually check some of the rankings and they are way off. Does anyone have feedback on this? If you have access to multiple domain data, that would be great. What is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for? I have also used keywordspy, and that is off too!

Different pages with same keyword phrase.
I have my home page and an interior page targeting the same keyword phrase. Is this ok or would they be competing with each other?

Keyword Dulication in Tags
As I mostly work with Belgian/Dutch customers, my keywords are often in Dutch. We have a lot of composite words such as "hooikoortsklachten" or "hooikoortverwachting". If i were to create a Page Title with content: Hooikoortsklachten | hooikoortsverwachting Is this parly duplicated (because of the word hooikoorts x2)? or does Google only consider the entire word? Insights would be much appreciated! Thanks
