What's the best Keyword Research Tool to Find Niche Keyword Phrases?

[MarketingProInfo]

Can anyone help to advise me on the best Keyword Research Tool for identifying Niche Keyword Phrases?

Someone made reference to Ad Word Analyzer as their Keyword Research Tool of choice but I'm not sure how this still stacks up with the advent of Google's External Keyword Tool now showing actual search results with numbers; in otherwords what tool do you guys use?

The one challenge I've found with Google's External Keyword Tool, even with the new added search numbers, it appears to not really tell us the competition stats on how many "search" pages there are for a particular keyword phrase. The only way I can see to do this is to first use Google's keyword tool first and get the 'exact' searches, then do a Google Search (with quotations) on every keyword phrase that has possibility to see how many page results flash up... a long job! (

Also I feel Google's tool doesn't do a great job on digging down for long-tail phrases like SEObook does. Ultimately it would be great to have a Keyword Research Tool that does all this, hence why I was wondering what other Warriors use and could recommend?

I'd have to always go with Wordtracker.

As far as I'm aware, there is no 100% (or even 90%) spot on keyword tool out there that gets all the numbers right.

Wordtracker does give you the most of any tool I've ever used though - identify your niche topic, get as many top level words together as possible then start digging. In the results that WT produces, it also allows you to dig deep into each result, upto 3 or 4 levels on some topics, thus making sure you pick up every single long tail phrase out there!

It also has Lateral and Thesaurus wording to help you expand your niche research horizontally too!

It's pricey - but you can buy a days access if you wish and do all your research in one hit.

For finding out the number of competing pages, WT seems to be fairly spot on but the best method will always be to try each phrase in Big G yourself, one at a time.

Also - try using www.kwbrowse.com to expand your niche areas for research - very powerful tool and the best price point - FREE!!

If you don't know how to dig into WT results, let me know and I can expand with examples etc.

I own Adwords Analyzer. It is a great tool and I love it. So far it's been updated twice within the last 3 months which tells me the author is serious about keeping it updated and current.

But I also recently subscribed to Wordtracker for the 14 day for $1 trial.

Flat out...Wordtracker is an amazing tool. You will get far more detail and stats out of it than Adwords Analyzer.

But Adwords Analyzer does a few things Wordtracker doesn't. Like show you how many Google Adsense ads are currently live for keywords and how much they cost. (If Wordtracker does this...please tell me how). Also, obviously, Adwords Analyzer is a one-time cost. Wordtracker will get pricey.

Think about the pricing model. If you don't mind paying $59/mth for Wordtracker, then go for it. Or try finding the $1 for 14 day trial in the old WF forum. If you want to pay once, AA is a good choice. I think starting out with AA is a great way to go. Then upgrading to WT once you've gotten the hang of keywording.

I also agree with Mike... this is another great tool!

Right, Google adwords keyword tools would be the most useful tool for finding niche relative keywords for it is dominant status. Also, free keyword tool from seobook.com would be a nice alternative, IMO.

Have a nice day,

Market Samurai

And for long tails and phrases, Google suggest. By the way i/we have something cooking in that regard...

Hi,
According to my experience Micro Niche Finder is the best. The reason behind is, it gives to variety of options and with that particular keyword you can find Article from Google as wel as product from Amazon. so for me it is the best.

[Lutz80]

Well I personally think google keyword tool does the best job if you use it correctly,but y6ou don't seem to think so. I personally have several of the tools micro niche, market samurai, keyword elite, and use them all along with traffic travis.

I typically get the best long tails using google keyword tool, and drilling down, by taking the begining keyword entering it then adding some of the good keywords and adding them to the list, then I search again using the list and usually get plenty of long tails from that.

Also I use the wonder wheel , and google search itself will tell you some great long tails as well as LSI.

When doing keyword research I would just stay with Google Adwords External, yeah it’s a little more cumbersome than Wordtracker or Market Samurai but you what? At the end of the day, whose keyword data would you rather have, Google’s or Wordtracker’s? Wordtracker only pulls from a very small amount of smaller search engines making their data detailed but not very viable in my opinion. I’m not sure where Market Samurai pulls data from but again, when collecting data why not stick with the numbers from the big fish?

[holla22]

I personally use Keyword Elite, It's the best and gives you a bunch of extra information on those keywords. I recommend you Google Keyword Elite. Version 2 is out now.

[Azfi]

- Micro Niche Finder
- Market Samurai

[IvanaB]

I used to be a big time fan of Wordtracker, but I recently purchased Micro Niche Finder, and now I prefer that.

[zeoul]

keywordspy is pretty good in my opinion. The free trial version still gives you the top 20 keywords in the category.

[Swastik]

Market Samurai is an awesome tool. I used the IMEye trial and it looks fairly decent, too.

Market Samurai hands down. It is the best. Buy it then spend some time unlocking it's power.

[jimmel196]

Without any doubt, Market Samurai continues to prove themselves the leader in keyword research.
