Best Tools for Keyword Research?

[KLLC]

Hi guys,

Please share your best and recommended tools for keyword research.

Thanks in advance.

Long Tail Pro - It's invaluable for finding long tail keywords that have decent search volume with low competition. Simply plug in 4 or 5 keywords and it automatically and instantly retrieves thousands of related keywords from the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. Then you can sort and filter by various criteria, but what is most useful is sorting by competition which uses the SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty API. It's by far my favorite keyword research tool at the moment. http://longtailpro.com/ (the website kinda makes it look like a spammy "Internet Marketer/Get Rich Quick" product but I swear it's legit!)

I completely agree with you.

I keep a close eye on this little details and it does make a difference especially when the industry you are in is a niche.

I found that most of the keywords that drive traffic and sales (also on my PPC campaigns) are completely different from the one I had thought about.

Also when optimizing your content you better use the people you work with and customers as a "keyword tool" you will discover a lot of new possibility and it gives you a better understanding on how people search.

Wholeheartedly agree on that one. You don't hear that often enough and from enough people. May not be as quick as typing a few things into AdWords and hoping for good results but we've found some great terms just by listening to people.

The people who answer the telephone.... the people who work the sales floor....

.... they know the words that new customers use to ask for the items that are sold.

For me,  its Google's keyword tool.  It gives you estimates on volume of search's and suggests keywords you may not have thought of.  <cite>https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool</cite>‎
