Free Keyword Tools

Keywords are an important aspect of Search Engine Optimization. Many people struggle to come up with strategic keywords for their web sites. WebConnection has gathered a list of free tools to help you with your keywords.

  1. Google’s Keyword Tool will suggest alternative keywords for your site, based on the keywords you enter. Google’s Search-based Keyword Tool will suggest keywords based on actual Google searches.
  2. The Wordtracker site will provide the number of searches a keyword receives, as well as the top 100 related keywords and their number of searches. This allows you to select keywords that are relevant to your site and not commonly searched, increasing the chances your site is returned.
  3. Keyword Discovery will suggest the top 100 related keywords to your initial keyword, as well as their search rates. They also offer a tool to allow you to which search engines are most commonly used for a specific keyword.
  4. Submit Express provides combined, limited results from both Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery. It is useful to see the difference in the sites information, but their results are just a small portion of what the other sites offer.

Always remember, if you need professional assistance with your web strategy, you can always contact WebConnection.
