Best Keyword Research Tools for PPC

[tim27487]

Does anyone know what the best Keyword Research Tool to use for Google Adwords or PPC marketing is?

E.g WordTracker etc.

[Jgregory]

Google free Keyword tool is the best thing going.

Analyzing and organizing the data for your decisions is the vital part. No keyword tool comes with an Easy Button that spits out the perfect niche for your plans.

Analysis can be a trial and error process, but start with the first major decision fixed in your mind and don't let go of that.

Do you want keywords to target SEO pages for organic results, or do you want keywords for PPC campaigns?

The tool you choose is not as important as the adwords data that you get and how it is displayed. You have to make a judgement call at some point yourself:

A) Look for high traffic keywords with high advertiser competiion... that means there's money in it. Join the bidding. After all Adwords is an auction going to highest bidder.

b) look for long tail low traffic keywords with less competition and less cost.

*** Either way, bid only on "buyer keywords" that indicate a purchase is imminent for the searcher today.

Product and brand names. keywords including brand/product with Review, Free shipping, best deal, etc.

REgards,

Google keyword suggestion tool is one of the best tools .

But , it is also important to use competition analysis and longtail keyword tools so as to get the most .

I use adwords google tool and its definetly the best ..
Previously I used to use wordtracker..

one of the best ways to get really cheap keywords is to do the "Domain Trick". That is people often search in google by typing in a keyword like this

www dog training .com

or
wwwdogtraining.com

or
http://dogtraining com

if you don't beileve me, just go to the free word tracker tool and type in
"www" and see how many people search for "www" - you'll be amazed. Thing is these combinations are very tedious to create, so I created my own tool "PPC Keyword Genie" that does exactly this. I have been able to generate keywords (singualr and plural) for as less as 5 cents! Some of these keywords don't even appear in Google's keyword tool and therefore cost me only pennies! So my ROI on some of my PPC campaigns have been like 400%!

You don't need my tool to do the "Domain trick" - but you'll save a ton of time and acuracy. Give this domain trick a go. You'll thank me for it.

Hi DZ

Would you share how or Who created your videos for Youtube for you Keyword Genie?

Cheers,

This is a really cool looking tool, DZ, and a great price. I am learning about PPC and wonder if you can explain something to me. The Keyword Genie method involves creating a long list of keywords that don't get a lot of traffic individually, but will cumulatively result in significant traffic. A number of places where I am reading about PPC, people are suggesting that I should not put too many keywords in any one ad group (some say as few as 5 max, some more). I am not sure why. In your opinion, will I need to break the generated list up into numerous adgroups or can I just paste the whole list into one? Thanks for your advice.

i use micro niche finder(it's paid though).

saves me a lot of time cause i rely on keyword research a lot for my article marketing.

[dzoaffiliate]

Hey jgregory,
I created the video myself. Infact I do all the sales copy, sales pages etc myself. It's the way i learn stuff. Plus I really enjoy it! I use camtasia studio, but they also have a free version called Jing which does a great job:

hope this helps...

Hey Empowerment Warrior,

Thanks! Yes I created PPC Keyword Genie after joining the PPC Classroom where this secret was revealed by Gauher Chuadry (in a seminar). But the thing is it's real tedious to create these comobinations. I'm a software developer in my day job and I can write this kind of tools in my sleep!

Anyway, your question about keyword grouping. This is what i do for Adwords!

for search and partner search networks
==============================
Create one Google Adwords Ad
Create one AdGroup for each unique keyword and each Match Type. This is because you need to know whcih keywords are converting (you need to setup conversion tracking).

example:
keywords:
Reverse Phone Lookup
Reverse Phone Search

For the above 2 keywords, I will create a total of 6 AdGroups

i.e. one AdGroup for "Exact Match"
one AdGroup for "Phrase Match"
one AdGroup for "Broad Match"

times 2

I'll be launching a WSO for a new tool that i've just created to manager ppc keywords and with this tool you can do the above in in seconds. For example if you have a keyword list of say 200 keywords, my new tool will create 200 x 3 = 600 adGroups in a matter of seconds! I will be lauching my new tool called "PPC Keywords Tool" in the next few days!

Hope this helps.

Google Keyword tool. Use the website content option for the site you are sending your traffic to. That way you will see what google thinks are the relevant keywords for your landing page and give you a better QS. Combine this with buying modifiers.

I have tried quite a few tools including Keyword Elite, Market Samurai, and a few other expensive and highly recommended ones. I must say, the free Google Keyword Tool is really the best. One trick that has proven extremely helpful for me is to take any keyword that looks good in terms of searches and manageable competition, is to take those words and pop them back into the tool to locate even more long tail keywords. This helps really round out your campaign. Hope that helps.

Well, I guess the Google keyword tool would be most popular. It's free, easy to use, and it shows results based on G's own data. It's very useful if you need to do some keyword research before launching a new site. Great way to pick keywords.

You may wish to combine that with SEO Elite. I've seen the data that the software presents. Pretty good stuff. SEO becomes much easier.

[Myheavens]

Google keyword tools is very good..

[AndyBlackSEO]

Keyword elite by brad callen is fantastic for ppc, adsense and keyword research in general.

Version 2.0 is out shortly and is supposed to be mind blowing.

I just use Google Adwords Keyword Tool. It kicks ass.

Hi, DZ, I missed your reply so I'm glad I returned to this thread. I really appreciate your taking the time to share advice on that matter, and your Keyword Genie software is a brilliant solution to the problem of creating all those highly focused ad groups. Thank you for creating it.

I also just looked at your Keyword Toolz Suite, which has some very cool features. Can you please clarify whether it overlaps with Keyword Genie's function as well as complimenting it? Either way, your WSOs are both great deals and much appreciated.

Tim, one thought to add on the question of which keyword tool is the best: IMO, that probably depends on what you are doing with the information. Many paid tools compile keyword data from Google or Wordtracker, while offering additional functionality at the click of a button such as competitive research and commercial intent; the ability to filter information, broaden or deepen searches, and keep the data organized in an integrated fashion; automated analysis; and functions that go beyond keyword research, such as finding useable related content, affiliate products, backlink opportunities, etc. "Bells and whistles" may be superfluous or a godsend to you depending on your needs and existing resources.

[seo-authority]

You should use tools to extract the data but you shouldnt rely on toolsets alone, do some reasrch, check your competitors, extract to excel and analsye the data

[Zukario]

I used wordtracker and last time i also used webCEO keyword research tool.
