Basic Keyword Research & Application
May 2nd, 2010 | 
Author: I’ve told myself I’m not going to write about SEO in my blog posts, but perhaps I should just say I won’t be making any serious efforts to write as an authority converning SEO Services. It’s evolving and there are plenty of dedicated SEO Experts out there producing quality information about the subject.
However, from time to time I produce something I can share and with this blog post, I would like to share some basic research pages that allow you to creatively gather keyword data, for your consideration. I’ve kinda left the organization of data and the creative thought processes involved in using these tools, but I’ve squeezed the basic principle into an 11 minute video.
The quick of this data analysis is; is your keyword producing enough traffic to do something with? Are there so many existing pages in the Google search results that it’s even possible for you to obtain those keywords? Have you chosen the best possible set of keywords and their long tail counterparts to realistically make a go for it?
Basic Keyword Research Tools:
Google AdWords Traffic Estimator
Google Keyword Tool
Google
You might want to find your own keyword density tool, as the site in this video might be outdated or obsolete in the future, but the Google Tools should always be available.

I don’t endorse software programs very often but this recent service is excellent. It’s a keyword tool with a database of millions of key phrases showing the adwords traffic count per month along with the google competition count and other numbers.
At a click of a button you’ll find phrases with traffic but no competition and I’ve used it already to get pages and web-sites to the top of the search engines, even without backlinks.
You can look at a video of it in use here – http://MarketEyeSite.com
I’m not sure about the program either, but the video is interesting enough. Finding a niche through basic keyword research is one of the most important steps in creating websites or marketing.
WordTracker is an excellent professional level keyword research tool, which offers an API for other websites and applications to use.
