SEO Tool Chest - Keyword Research and Selection 1

Keyword research and selection is one of the fundamental steps in reaching your target audience. You must find keywords that people are really searching for and not just words you think they should be using.

WordTracker is the industry leading tool for keyword research and since most of you are probably already familiar with it, I am going to review it later.

For this post I want to introduce you to a couple of other great tools you must have in your SEO Tool Chest to help you find those great niche keywords.

Nichebot is a great free tool that helps you research and select keywords. This tool taps into WordTracker, Google and Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture - YSM) data to present you with suggestions and data to assist you in finding those profitable niche keywords.

John Alexander, the renowned WordTracker Magic guru and co-founder of Search Engine Workshops, recently introduced me to TheDowser, Keyword Research and Management Software. When John tells me to check out a product, I always listen.

This product is amazing in it's flexibility. It does all the usual things, but takes all the tasks you had to do individually and puts them into one package. The filters feature is so powerful, you have to try it yourself to appreciate it's power.

TheDowser is offered as a free download and an Professional version upgrade. Make sure you view the video tutorials to see how all the features work together to make you research so much easier.

I downloaded the free version and upgraded to the Professional version the next day. This is really an amazingly powerful tool. I will write a follow up review later, once I really master this great tool.

As always, please comment below or email me by clicking on my name. Until next time, remember to keep using all the great resources in the SEO Tool Chest!
