What free research tools you would recommend with confidence and what about the paid ones? How accurate they are? Input will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Since everyone uses the same basics tools everyone gets the same basic results. You might want to do some digging and visit the top 15 sites or so for the targeted keywords and see what the competition is using. It takes longer but you will get better results.
Wordtracker is a great tool for keyword research and optimisation I have not come accross anything to better it myself.
Of course I'm a bit biased, I think my tools the best, lol. http://mattsfreekeywordtool.com Seriously though, it's free so it isn't as nice as some of the keyword subscription tools, but its still nice. It basically takes the free wordtracker data and allows you to then analyze your competition, and export to .csv files. As far as paid tools go, it seems as though the really good ones require a subscription rather then one time cost. I like nichebot. I also have keywords analyzer which is cool, but again if you really want good results you have to pay for a subscription to a research service. Matt
