Best Keyword Search Tool

[Bryan Alan]

Everyone, we have a website that does well. But... I still don't know if we are optimizing for the best keywords in our industry... ie.. I don't know what the most common searches for words or phrases for our industry are. Also, I don't know how to see what keywords or phrases my competitors are using.

Let's say we are a plumbing site in Atlanta. My guess is the most common search is atlanta plumbers. But I am not sure....

What tool (I am happy to buy or pay for this monthly) would you use for the information I need above?

Thanks so much for any suggestions.

Bryan Alan

[alvis]

suggestion tool from google is the best keyword research tool

[aimhigh]

here is the good Seo Book Keyword Suggestion Tool (http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/)

[toronto-seo]

There is no accurate one, my advice is to compare the results from few of them and then apply some search to check the paid ads for the term, that will help you to evaluate the keyword competition

[lasersguru]

Your post rocks!

[govindseo]

Hi,
i think Wordtracker is also good for keyword research.

[michellebarkley]

Wordtracker and https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

use both tools and you will find which one is better.

[aberbery]

I'm using keyword density tool.

[easytraveller]

Usually I use a keyword density tool from web, then I add in the meta keyword only the first 2-3 keywords.... if you put more the search engine will consider the extra keywords as spam... the best is max 4 keywords.

[sahil0827]

Hi,
I use wordtracker, seo book keyword tool, google trend and alexa.

[Arleigh]

I find Google Adwords Tool as the best one. Though I also use wordtracker and compare their results.

[Jacob777]

it must be google adwords tool

[sherone]

Google keyword suggestion tool is the best tool. you can use wordtracker also

[brainch]

just tried tools.seobook.com , i think it's good for me.

[Ricardo]

Google AdWords tool is greatest one.

[Himanshu Shah]

Ya I am agree with aimhigh's tool because i am also use it.

[jaqes]

Google provided a best to for keyword research. you can found in google seo book.

[webbyguy]

I always use google's adwords tool.

[seospinner]

The keyword research is one of the most important step in Search Engine Optimization as this helps to optimize website content to get more traffic from search engines. In addition to the above mentioned tools, add Trellian's Keyword Discovery.. offers a free trial version and paid version.

[vitebseo]

Google Key Word research tool is the best tool for key word research.

[seospinner]

Hi vitebseo,

I agree that the google's keyword research tool is very good one but the keyword research is becoming highly competitive these days so it'd be better to use more than one tools to carry out the keyword research. Using more than on research tools helps us to compare and refine results.

[seojosh]

True, Google Adwords Tool would be enough to do some basic keyword researching. There are other Keyword Tools around but on subscription base.

Joe,

[friesie_t]

I use SEOBook Keyword Search Tool and Google Adwords.

[jingwen]

I use google adwords,but i always fele it is not well.maybe i have not understand how to use it.

[stevephilipps]

I dont really know of a good keyword research tool, but i will keep some of these in mind in case i need them.

[convert2hybrid]

Just make sure your keywords match what your content has. Can't rank on keywords you don't have in your content. Kind of a dumb tip, but it's true. Many people do this and fail miserably at ranking.

[earthtorres]

I use tools.seobook.com/google-gadgets + wordtracker + KeywordToolExternal

[susanspy]

Well i am Susan and not so new to this w w w buzz & so called the SEO stuff, i am here from about 4-5 years & have come across many keyword research tools on offer in the market but well to be frank i have not been able to set my eyes on one complete package, i have keywordspy on my hit list on the topmost place though, i am not sure if you know about it or used it..

Cheers, more later.

[bseo]

I started to use the new seo tool: serpanalytics.com/tools/top_keywords
CPC, traffic, number of clicks - all combined

[hotgurgaon]

there are various tool and some country specific tools are also there as word tracker (paid version),digital point,google adword,google trends,google suggestion and there are various other industry & country specific seo tools.

[Mark77]

Hi. A few month ago I'm found very usefull Keyword Tool.
Early i'm used Wordtracker and Google Adwords, but this new tool made the biggest impression on me.
It's not for free, but not as expensive as other.
And it has huge potential and opportunities. Look at this keyword tool here:
_xttp://findkeywords.wetpaint.com

[Hsekhar]

I think you need to use WordTracker, SEObook Keyword tool and Google adwords suggestion tool and use the keywords which on an average come top.

[Richard24]

I suggest you to use keywordspy tool.Through this keyword tool and keyword software, you can perform advanced keyword research and keyword tracking to study what your competitors have been advertising in their Adwords campaigns and Other PPC campaigns.

[forexfreedownload]

Wow, thanks for disclosing this.
I was interested in checking this out, but now know better !

[Liza-Lyza]

Like many previous posts, I've found the best tool to be the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. I think it gives the most relevant information for a free tool. Other free tools list search results from the past day, but this gives results from the past month.
It's easy to work with if you haven't launched your website, unlike others which help you only when you have an existing domain.

[vibegraphics]

google adwords and world tracker

is the useful tool

[bailey.rein]

I usually use the following:

freekeywords[dot]wordtracker[dot]com/
adwords[dot]google[dot]com/select/KeywordToolExternal

[destlecare4]

all do the same work you can't that is good and that one bad....

[So23777]

I think a lot of the replies here have placed Wordtracker on the list as a keyword tool and I would have to agree that this is a great way to see what keywords are being searched and in what volume they are being searched in. You could also use the Google Adwords Keyword tool to determine what searches are being dedicated to what keywords in Google. Even though its often times used for PPC campaigns the reconnaissance is still useful for researching keywords for organic search... and it also gives you insight into the advertiser competition. Spyfu.com and Keyword Spy are also great sites to check out for this purpose. Here's a short list for you.


Wordtracker.com
Keywordspy.com
Spyfu.com

Hope this helps,

Seun

[4everyoung]

WordTracker is the most comprehensive keyword selection tool available in the market today. They compile a database of terms that people search for over the major search engines. WordTracker contains a powerful "lateral search" feature to locate all your related keywords.

[shawnpaul]

google adword have the free option of keyword checker tool and its awesome

[deanpowel71]

That has been the best keyword checker tool from a long time and i think is still doing well. Nothing compares to google adword's free option of keyword checker tool.

[pumpfootwear]

[raj_krv01]

Followtopia can be good for finding keywords that your competitors use for your search terms.

[00seo]

[businesscredit]

Google Adword Tool best works for me. You can try other tool but most of them do have fee, but you can try the trial version too!

[nonchexsystems]

Google Adword keyword tool works well when it comes to getting the right keyword. Its an easy to use tool, I suggest you try the same.

[jordiestershop]
