The 3 Top KEYWORD DATA TOOLS

To find out what keywords are being used by people who are seeking out what you are “putting out” which are your products, services, information, etc. you can simply try to think like your customer, and even survey your friends and customers. That’s just a start; you can do more. There are tools out there to help.

There are many to choose from, and you can do a Google search to find them. The 3 Top KEYWORD DATA TOOLS are Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery (did you know about that one?), and Google AdWords keyword tool. I am only going to touch on each of these and you can do your own research for more information. Each can be a seminar in itself.

Wordtracker:

Shows searches from the past several months of a specific term from search engines Dogpile and MetaCrawler. Remember that as a “curious webber*” (my term)when you see something on the web that you don’t recognize, as soon as you can, do a search and learn what it is. You may even want to save your brief definitions and comments in a word document for future reference. Go ahead now and do a quick web search for the terms: MetaCrawler, and Dogpile. Make a note “action point” as to how you will use this knowledge in your web work.

Moving on with Wordtracker, it’s available for a fee at www.wordtracker.com. Try out the free version until you are comfortable and have some revenue coming in to make the fee worthwhile. It’s at:

I’ll write a bit about both Keyword Discovery and Google AdWords in a future post.
