i think its quite obvious that google adwords keyword tool works just great,,but make sure you login to get even more accurate results and also MAKE SURE you check for EXACT MATCH searches
I agree with leoxurious. The google adwords key is really useful but only if, as he says, you use exact matches and you login. Broad matches gives you thousands of search results that may be only vaguely related to your exact keyword. Once you login using your google account, you get so many more results than without logging in and you don't have to fill in captchas all the time.
Also should have said, it is important to find buying keywords if you are selling anything. A general keyword like "fitness" will get you oodles of searches and very few buyers. A more focused keyword like "fitness training for over 40s" will narrow down your search and allow you to target a very specific section of "fitness". A good hint is to use the Facebook ads targeting tool to get an idea of just how many people have an interest in your keyword. With over 800 million users, Facebook is an excellent sample of human beings.
i was using google adword keyword tool to find low competitive keywords to build micro niche sites,but when i know about MNF i had done some research and i have now a 30 day trial.the local and global search count is same as google adwords keyword tool as it is picking it from there.the advantage i found was the backlink calculation,But my problem is i do not understand what is ad cost means.I know it is the advertisers given amount,I selected an exact match keyword it has 41 ad cost in MNF.But when i am looking at the google adwords traffic estimator it shows the estimated average cpc as zero.what is the difference between these two.please let me know
Adword key tool and market samurai for my keyword research. You should have to know the right technique of using them for best result.
