Which is the best keyword research tool ?

    I came across this page reviewing the top keywords research tools - Keyword Spy, PPC Bully, Site Sniper Pro, PPC Web Spy, SEMrush, iSpionage, Affiliate iSpionage, AdSpy PRo, Adword Accelerator, HexaTrack, Affiliate Elite, KeyCompete, and Spyfu ( http://www.spytoolsreview.com/ ).

    I want to sign up to one of these tools to help me with my PPC campaign and also for organic rankings and also to monitor competitors keywords but I have never used any of these tools.

    What is the general opinion on using any of these tools - how useful are they? Im prepared to pay for a tool - I just want to make sure I use the best one. How accurate are they in terms of the data on competitors CPC for keywords etc.?

    Is there any other tool someone could reccommend to me?

    Thanks very much!

    You can't you try Google Adwords: Keyword Tool - its cool dude..

    # Its free
    # Its from Google - so you can trust the Data
    # The search volume also at acceptable accuracy.

    Google adwords is the best keyword analysis tool. We can trust it more. I'll prefer this only.

    My favourite and the very best keyword research tools is ?

    1 The brain in my head

    2 Asking questions so humans answer rather than relying on programable software

    Bear in mind sometimes answers come from those with an agenda when posting on forums, so just ask those out of the box and niche who may not know anything about a certain thing, and people you know, to get a good broad perspective on a certain thing and don't rely solely on replies from forum posters in regards to such things.

    My personal fave is market samurai, it does cost 87 or so i believe. As for free tools use the google keyword tool and the Microsoft ad intelligence tool.

    Google is a highly trusted SE that most people use in their day to day experience on the interwebz. I wouldn't distrust their keyword tools
