It's good that you're asking around before taking the plunge.

I and many on the WF use Market Samurai. It has everything I need and is a great tool, specially if you're wanting to get into niche marketing. MS has a 14 day trial i believe.

For a newbie I would also recommend the free version of Traffic Travis. Its a pretty useful tool.

Good luck

Keyword tracker is good one according to me
market samurai is also good

The best keyword research tool I've found so far is Rank Tracker. It's integrated with Google Adwords Keyword Tool, WordTracker, SEMrush, pull out data from Google suggest, Bing suggest and some other sources. Besides it allows you to enter your GA account details and shows how many visits a keyword triggered. You can try the free version, if you want

Google Adword Keyword Tool is the best for me, and I usually used this method to determine my choice in keyword phrases. I think we have different opinions in choosing the useful way for their keywords.

When talking about keyword research tools, you'll get lots of different responses. I started out with the free Google Keyword Tool. Market Samurai has a lot of additional data and I like it a lot. You do need to know how to use it and what info. to look for.

If you can afford it, you can get MS (Market Samurai). If not (yet), you can use the free Google Keyword Tool or Noble Samurai. Noble Samurai is the keyword part of MS and it's free. (Not 100% sure of that, but I think I've read this somewhere on the WF).

Also, if you sign up to Adwords and use the Google Keyword Tool there - it gives you more info. I believe.

Here's a WF thread about keyword research tools. I hope it helps you.

Good Luck!

I personally prefer the Google adwords and spyfu keyword tool.Both has been working well for me since my SEO career.

I would vote for google advords anytime..

Here was an interesting bit of info I found...

"The Top 20 Most Expensive Keywords in Google Adwords Advertising"
wordstream.com/blog/ws/2011/07/18/most-expensive-google-adwords-keywords

This is from 7/18 so it's up to date

Keyword Sniper Pro blows the rest out of the water.

Well, for promoting in Google Google adwords needed. Unfortunately, it doesn't show many valuable info, that show paid services like MS, spyfu or semrush.

For me the Google keyword tool is best. I use it everyday and have had great success in exact match niche site domain names.

adwords keyword tool is a great free tool to get your feet wet

You can do some good digging with the free google keyword tool and after that check the phrases using the seoquake extension (free) with firefox to see what sites show up on page 1. It will check the pagerank and you can find the number of backlinks each has to see if you can compete on page 1.
