It's gotta be free.

No free tools gives you a correct results..
Even Some paid ver tools gives buggy results..
You can try MS or rank tracker for good KW tool though.

Blekko
ahrefs
Majestic SEO

Treillian free keyword tool. It gives you the top 100 variations of a single keyword. It's free, and their biggest keyword tool is called "Keyword Discovery"... which gives you access to over 10,000 keywords for a given keyword phrase. But you gotta pay for Keyword Discovery... i think it's like $60/month.

[Oliver Williams]

I use Traffic Travis, Google Adwords Keyword Tool and many other google products.

[Boogie40]

[Nickels]

I use google adwords keyword tool, traffic travis (paid version) and keyword blaze.

The Google Keyword Tool + Excel to sort the data. Most of the tools use the GKT anyway. So you may as well go to the source.

Packerfan has a pretty good tutorial in his sig about using the two together.

A lot of people tend to forget this, but the Keyword Research module in Market Samurai is free-for-life. Though I still prefer going straight to the source and using the Google Keyword Tool.

The competition module in Market Samurai isn't free, unfortunately. The one in Traffic Travis v4 is though. (And I actually prefer it to the MS offering.)

[GeorgR.]

I blogged and talked about this often already, after many years "keyword research" i don't give a darn anymore about so called "competition" values and HARDLY use any KW research software anymore.

The only criteria i need is "searches per month", and Adwords keyword tool is all i need. If i need to check competition, a look at the first and second page in Google is enough.

[zabalex]

The best method to find the most suitable keywords for your site is your competitors site. No tools can be useful if you can not identify your competition. If you know your competitors you do not need any tool to find out or research the keywords.

Once you take the time to learn to use it, this really provides everything you need to know. It might not be the fastest or easiest way, but for a free solution, you cannot beat it!

That's the same thing I do. A lot of people still seem to be obsessed with overall competition when they really should just be looking at page 1. And even beyond that, the top 3 competition.

[John Williamson]

I know I'm bucking your requirement here, but I believe a tool like Keyword Sniper Pro 2.0 pays for itself in a short amount of time, so technically you could argue that it is free

To me it makes sense to use whatever tools Google provides when optimizing for Google, so I would use their Adwords Keyword Tool.

[Miyamoto]

In no particular order

Love ubersuggest for seed words - it's uber

The old grey stuff

Of course the old commonly misspells and double words some of seobook tools are good for that or do it yourself.

Depending on what campaigns you are running then adwords tool or if you are running on adcenter then their tool. So many good paid tools for ppc.

Just for niche research then market samurai is pretty cool. Not free but you could get a 40 day trial which was enough time to find your words.

Wordtracker free and of course - adwords, alexa, insights, trends, quantcast.

[katiemei]
