It is easy to compile a list of keywords...not I need a free tool besides google keyword tool...that allows me to see how much competition there is out there and the statistics associated.
I prefer to use the Google keyword tool. Before that I used the overture keyword tool, but Yahoo eventually got rid of that after buying overture. You could also use wordtracker or software called keyword elite.
Trosquin, Been using a new tool for a couple of days now and it's not let me down with keyword research yet:- keyword-magic-professional .com Cheaper than keyword elite, maybe not as many features, but for keyword research, competition data and export it's a very good tool. Regards Jeff
Use the allintitle operator. [allintitle: blue cars] will show you the number of sites that have blue cars in the Title of their web page. Zeek
Don't forget allinanchor:blue cars, and allintext:bluecars to search for anchors and text containing blue cars...
