    Keyword Research is one of the most important & vital process for SEO. All your SEO efforts totally depend on Keywords, so before doing anything make sure you have suitable keywords for your site to rank well in major search engines. Keyword research involves various phases and you must pay attention on all below phases:

    • Think likes an end user who looking for services or product that you are providing and think on those keywords that user would be likely to type to search engines with different variations, alternative spelling, synonyms etc.

    • Taking survey from potential customers is one of great way to expand your keyword list and include as many as phrases possible.

    • There are tons of keyword tools on market. I’ve several keyword research tools and I use them on regularly basis.

    1. Wordtracker is my primary keyword research tool. Every SEO optimizer doing keyword research through Wordtracker. Now you can take a free trial from Wordtraker
    2. Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool is a comparatively good tool, especially if you have no money for Wordtracker access.
    3. Google Keyword Sandbox allows accessing the Google AdWords keyword suggestion tool.

    There are many other tools which can be used for keyword research for e.g. Miva (free Keyword tool) and UK Overture Keyword Tool for UK region.

    • After selecting keyword make a list of related keywords and compare traffic and competition for each keyword. Choose most related keyword for business that maximize the conversions and gain online traffic from search engines.

    Thank you, these tools are quite helpful. I feel that SEO content often excludes (partially or totally) originality and creativity - or is it just me?

    Overture is inactive for quite some time. I prefer to use Google Suggest when doing KW search and analysis
