Research

Research tools allow you to determine what keyword phrases Internet searchers are using to search for the products or services you are advertising. A keyword tool provides this information, including how many people are entering each keyword and how company sites are competing with your site advertising the same items you are advertising.
Online tools and software you install on your computer are available for keyword research. Locally installed software packages have more features than online tools. One free online tool is Google's external keyword research tool. With the tool, enter keywords to analyze. Google suggests other related keywords and shows you the number of searches performed a month and the strength of competition.
Two popular keyword research software packages you can install on your computer are Microniche Finder and Market Samurai. Some of the added features these packages provide include in depth analyses of competing websites and automatic flagging of keywords that have high search volume and low competition.
