I hate keyword research! Do you have a simpler method?

It's not free, nor inexpensive, but you can get a free trial before you buy: market samurai. I can't live without it for my keyword research.

I second this recommendation. Actually, this is the tool I use in my freelance keyword research work (and I have tried pretty much all the free and paid keyword research tools).

It is a bit pricey, but it is by far the best resource for accurate and complete keyword research.

  Do you believe the numbers (search volume) these programs are giving you are accurate?
  
  I have good reason to believe that the google keyword tool is giving me grossly inaccurate results.

No matter you use any good software for keyword research...There has to be a manual touch for the final list else the whole campaign will get affected.

I've found that Micro Niche Finder is the quickest way of finding effective keyword phrases.

I also have Market Samurai which is more comprehensive, but the speed of MNF in identifying worthwhile keyword phrases is superior IMHO.

Anyway, either of these tools will prove very effective for you.

What about WebCEO, I only ask because I've just had an email from them with some special offers they're doing right now. I like Market Samurai because it runs on a Mac, but just wondered if anyone swears by WebCEO as their current offer looks good (no I'm not an affiliate, developer, friend or in anyway connected to WebCEO).

Thanks for all the input, folks and for pointing me in the right direction for making 'cleaning the IM toilet' less infuriating for me (that's how I see the KW research aspect, anyway).

I got hold of the trial version of Samurai, had a play and it does look awesome. I am also checking out WebCEO too.

Hell, if I find the right tool, maybe I'll start doing it for others!

Wow...

You went from calling keyword research "cleaning the IM toilet" to contemplating offering keyword research services to others in a matter of seconds.

Well, best of luck on that. I was the first to offer keyword research services on the Warrior Forum and I absolutely LOVE doing keyword research.

And even for me, who has been providing my service to Warriors for the past 14 months, has to really work at developing new business.

How confident will Warriors be in your keyword research services when they read your "I hate keyword research" thread?

Hopefully not confident at all! It was a joke, KateD. I was being flippant. There is no amount of money that anyone could offer to get me doing KW research all day.

All power to you though for having the patience. I said the same about the person who used to do my VAT books back in England (that task was like nails on the blackborad to me too). Those long hours doing analysis....Don't let it affect your sense of humour, will you!

I just used her keyword service and it was great, especially at her prices. She got me back a list of nearly 200 keywords. Now I can just go down the list and write for each one, skipping any I think might be too competitive or w.e.

Saved me a ton of time and I'd definitely recommend it.

Market Samurai or Keyword Elite. They're both great. I'm looking more at links now, though. I recommend using MajesticSEO (it's free) Majestic-SEO : Competitive Link Intelligence and Yahoo's backlink checker.

Hope that makes it easier, man!

Does the paid version of Market Samurai offer such great functionality, because nothing i've seen on the free version suggests that its worth upgrading?

I'm still shooting in the dark when it comes to KW research, using Google adwords KW tool to check for volume (which I understand may not be accurate), then looking at the allintitle and allinurl search operators to check for the competition (hardly scientific).

Hi Rysk,

I'm not sure why you would still need to check with the adwords keyword tool. Market Samurai gets the data from there, but puts it in a daily number. In the same module (keyword research) you can then see the number of competition (just make sure to check that before you do the research). Then, if you want to see the info for the allintitle and such for a certain keyword, you just create a new tab with that keyword, open the SEO competion module and there you get all that information for the first 10 ranking pages in google.

Market Samurai is not always correct, but neither is the google keyword tool. However the later is free, and you'll still need to figure out what level of competition is comfortable for you by looking at the competition for yourself. After many months you'll develop a 6th sense which would be otherwise hindered if you only trust one tool or method. Don't hold yourself back, you have to push through, and your business will be better served.

It sucks, but if you want to do it right, do it yourself, for free. With the level of vampirism on all IM forums I wouldn't trust anyone with even a small part of my business. But that's just me.

Micro Niche Finder...it is the cat's whiskers! I LOVE keyword research and its just made my job a lot more easier.....it doesnt mean that you stop there, it just allows you to save time and be a little more dilligent.

There are other recommndations such as Market Samurai etc but I havent used them and cant vouch for it but from the feedback it seems to be equally as good!

Hope that helps
