Wordtracker is a fantastic keyword research tool. How do I know? Because, I use it myself to find hundreds of juicy keywords that offer me insight into the searching behaviour of internet users. To my mind, it is the number 1 tool that allows me to investigate and research the needs of my Clients markets. I would be at a loss without it.

The joy of Wordtracker is that it is such a simple keyword research tool to use. It can indeed take a while to master the art of finding the best niche keywords for your market which is why many people still employ SEO experts like me, to do the research for them. This is because you are challenged to think ?outside the box? ? not by Wordtracker, but by internet searchers who may use different words to find a web site to what you would have thought at all. Wordtracker contains all the information that you need, but it can take time to learn how to retrieve it.

Throughout my SEO career, I have often been told by web site owners that their site is already in Google?s top ten search ranking results. When I ask them for which keyword term, many reply with the name of their business for example, the business name ?Maxima Consult? reveals the site as number 1 in Google for this key phrase. This is great if many people know the business name Maxima Consult, but the internet has such a large population of searchers that it is unlikely that they will.

Selecting the correct (most profitable) keywords and phrases is of utmost importance and learning how to do it can take time if you don?t follow the advice of those that have followed before you.

The best advice that I can give you is to get the free Wordtracker trial, read the Wordtracker free keyword research guide and access their learning resource centre.

Once you are comfortable that Wordtracker is for you (which I?m sure it will be), purchase access to the full copy for a year (you?ll be amazed at how often you use it and this works out as the cheapest option) and purchase a copy of John Alexander?s fantastic guide called ?Wordtracker Magic? which I found to be a truly valuable resource not only for the content of the e-book but also for the freebies offered at the time such as free access to the Workshop Resource Centre which allows me to partake in some excellent professional SEO forums.

Wordtracker wins for me every time.
