Keyword Research Tools

Generating keywords are important for selecting domain names and for selecting your targeted niche. Below are some resources you can use to help you in your keyword research:

1. Yahoo Search Marketing’s Keyword Selector Tool (http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion)

Yahoo Search Marketing’s Keyword Selector Tool is a good place to start your investigation. You just type in a word or term that you think people in your market might search for, and the Keyword Selector Tool will tell you how many people searched for that particular term in Yahoo Search Marketing over the last month.

It will also show you a list of related words and phrases, and tell you how many times people typed those terms into the free search engines over the last month too. Now this will not only give you a picture of what’s the demand for your niche market, it also gives you suggestions on the various niche markets you can target from your main keyword.

Once you’ve generated a list of useful keyword ideas at these sites, you’re ready to dig in and do some serious research with Wordtracker.

2. Wordtracker

Wordtracker is a more sophisticated, comprehensive tool that will help you further your research by showing you not only what people are searching for online, but also how many other web sites are competing for the same audience.

Basically, Wordtracker keeps a record of how many times a particular keyword or phrase was searched during the past 60 days on several of the largest search engines. It then allows you to search its database of over 330 million searches to see how many times the particular keywords you think your market might be searching for appeared.

Finally, it organizes all of this detailed information into useful reports that you can use to estimate how much traffic your site could expect to get. Once you have all these information, it will be much easier to decide if you’ve really chosen a good niche market.

Wordtracker currently offers a free trial version. Hence, I suggest you check it out for yourself at http://calvinwoon.com/resources/wordtracker
