    Thanks for starting this thread. I'm curious to see what other people say.

    For me, it's the two you mentioned.

    I check to see how many times the keyword is searched on average per month for the year.

    And...

    I check how much competition the keyword has.

          General consensus seems to support speedppc as their main tool and yes it really is good!

          It is also good with an application called landing page generator.

    I am mixing up everything to get an idea ... like adwords external tool to get idea about the price and search and traffic. With such keywords I use google search to see how many sponsored links at there ... and after that some my undisclosed tricks as well so far they are really effective.

      Jeremy... looked at your info and it seems similiar to PPC Spy the Callen offering. How would you compare AE with that?

      I'm bidding in Google keywords in the US market, but I currently live in Asia. Browser-based software for viewing Adwords usually fails for me because the US advertisers don't specify the country I am in while viewing.

      the IP address wontl deliver US Adwords

      Would you have an advice on that issue?

    Google Keyword Tool and

    I also like Alexa to study competition, but I focus more on my own results in PPC campaigns.

        OK, but i can really say that the Mac Os X version requires the user to do a lot of manual manipulation to get keywords submitted, and there were some other problems such as the keyword listing not sync'd with Adwords. I just went back and started using Adwords directly after a few tries.

    Just a comment on keywordspy. i have tried it several times to check my sites, but their organic search results data always seems to be inaccurate. I've compared their results with the actual results in SE's and they're pretty badly out sometimes. I think they get it right 50/50.

      Hello,

      I believe the Adwords Keywords Tool is not very good when it comes to search volume of keywords.

      I think Keyword Country is better.

      Anyway i am still feeling my way around.

      Something else that I've just started using with some of my keyword lists is MSN adCenter's "Commercial Intention" tool. John Jonas has developed a free automated tool for using this adCenter service.(The download link is at the bottom of the blog post that I linked to) It's a huge time-saver.

      This being my first post, I can't post links yet. So, here are the URLs:

    I think this depends very much on your budget and your level of expertise.

    For newbies who don't have a lot of money, I'd say:

    Google Keyword Tool - in my opinion the best free keyword research tool
    AdWords Editor - makes your life much easier (especially due to the bulk upload feature) & is also free.

    Other great tools are KeywordSpy & speed PPC - but they are a bit expensive and I think they aren't absolutely necessary for a newbie.

    And yes, I also like my own PPC campaign builder tool a lot ;-)

    Guys,

    Thanks alot for the tools, I have personally checked them out and I could see how useful they would be especially speedppc...

    I have a question pls., I am just trying to checkout how CPA would work for me, I have already been accepted into 3 CPA networks. However I understand that with PPC but without the tools to have a good CTR and CR then you could be out of business i.e spending too much on ads vs ROI.

    Are the following tools really what paying for and could I get an alternative for it...?

    1. speedppc
    2. any of the spy keyword tools.

    I would really appreciate your concern guys.....

    Thanks
