Keyword Tools

As you may already have heard me say, half the battle of being found in the search engines is targetting the right key words and key phrases.

The smart thing to do is to find lots of niche phrases. And I mean lots of them.

Rather than fighting everyone else 'head on' with expensive generic key phrases, you might consider getting as many different (cheap) key phrases as you can either as paid for key phrases or simply within your website content, thus attracting natural search engine traffic.

You can investigate common mis-spellings, local search, plurals, synonyms and many other ways of getting great key phrases.

And you can 'cheat'...I'm going to brazenly 'plug' a couple of affiliated software programs here. Looking at other people's source code is one way but a far more powerful method is to use the kind of software that we use at MKLINK.

Checkout http://our.affiliatetracking.net/wordtracker/a/15196 which is my affiliate link for Wordtracker. It's a great tool for looking at popularity of key phrases and has a great keyword suggestion tool as well. I've been using it for ages and it's well known and respected within my industry.

This means you can see how many people are searching for your key phrase and see of there is a 'market' for it.

However, another tool I've been using a lot more recently is a real corker and it enables you to instantly check your competitors' key phrases bother natural and PAID for as well!

Yes - it actually checks out their Google PPC ads and let you know which keywords are being used and how much people are paying for them...!

As I'm an affiliate for both these software products, here's the other link for Keyword Spy. http://www.keywordspy.com?aid=mklink

This second product is a great spy tool but is more expensive so if you're paying a lot for PPC then you might want to consider it as a way to get a competitive edge.

That said, both software providers have a f-r-e-e trial so my suggestion is that you have a play and see what you think.
