Let's Get Down To Keyword Analysis Research

Are you struggling with keyword analysis research?
Your keywords are extremely important if you
want web surfers to find your pages.

Finding all the keywords queried by web surfers
will go a long way to bring targeted traffic to your
site. It will also make your pages rank higher in the
search engines results.

There are so many ways to do keyword analysis research,
where do you start?

The free tools available are:

Wordtracker - http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com
(information on how many times a keyword has been searched in a day)

Google - https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
(less precise volume search but great for expanding your keywords list)

Yahoo! (formerly Overture) - http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion
(less reliable for finding searches in one calendar month)

Using this last one for keyword analysis research is losing it's appeal real fast
for many reasons:

1- It's database is old (january 2007 as I am writing this),

2- Messes up the order of certain long search terms,

3- Is less reliable than the other two.

Looks like Yahoo! will replace this keyword tool with another one.

There many software solutions if you really want to save some time;

Keyword Elite by Brad Callen,

Keywords Analyzer by Chris Lee,

Ad word Analyzer by Jeff Alderson.

Any of these tools will save you time and effort in your
keyword analysis research.

If you really want to focus on long tail keywords you should pick up

What are long tail keywords?

Any keyword phrases that get low search volume and don't have a
lot of sites competing for it are called long tail keywords. These
keyword phrases generally have at least four terms.

These keywords can be useful because if you gather a whole lot
of closely related terms for your pay-per-click campaigns or your
articles, you will bring more targeted traffic first,
and it will be much easier to get ranked for these
terms in the search engines.

Now, if you mix long tail keywords in your content pages
with your popular keywords you have a winning combination.

Getting thousands of these may take some time. But with the
right tool, you will gather a big pile of keywords that will
make it much easier to find golden nuggets like misspelled
keywords.

Keyword analysis research can be your way to finding
more sub-niches you had not thought of also. You can
spend hours searching for keywords and there are so
many ways of doing this.
