(I should have delivered this fab tool and this post to you a long time ago…my apologies. I’ve been buried under several things I’m working on and I was just using this tool and realized that I haven’t even told you about it!)
Keywords, the “key” “words” people will use to find your site, blog, content, etc.
There are a number of free keyword tools out there and they will suffice for your very basic research but there are also some paid keyword tools out there that will help you really knock the socks off of your competition and dominate a niche if used properly.
Doing in depth keyword research that pulls from a variety of sources, compiles an array of statistics and manages the information for you can be invaluable to your investment in your marketing efforts.
I’ll admit, I’m a cheapO! If I can do something for free vs. paid, a lot of times I will but I will also admit there is a time and place for everything. And I’ve found there is definitely a time for doing REAL keyword research…and I’ve found that it can yield serious results.
I have all of the details outlined as to how to perform serious keyword research all by myself, for free but ummm, the time it takes can get a little ridiculous if I want to get down to the nitty gritty, so I finally figured out that it’s not really free after all because I’m investing my time into it. Time that I could be, and need to be, investing into something else. I don’t have endless amounts of time to spend on one thing…unfortunately (if I’d ever just hit that stupid lottery!)
To get to the point, I broke down and tried a paid keyword tool for a $1 trial. I fell in love. The simplicity…oh my, it was great! The results…from the basic to the nitty gritty, in no time. Everything I needed to know about the keywords in whatever I was working on was right there at my fingertips and it was so easy to manipulate.
What had I been missing out on this whole time that I turned my nose up to paying for something that I thought I could do just as well for free?
And something else I really love is that it’s actually a “service” and not just a “tool”. It keeps getting better and better; they keep bringing more to the table.
And the customer service is great. They’re quick to respond and they’re so friendly…something that is a MUST for me. If your customer service sucks, I’ll toss you to the side quickly. I despise today’s automation of customer service and I demand a REAL, and friendly, PERSON to handle my questions or concerns. That’s just me. I have my standards!
But I like that they are active. It’s not just “Hey, here’s a tool. Buy it and we may or may not ever upgrade/deliver higher quality to you; you may or may not get satisfactory customer service; and we may or may not stay involved in what we do on more than one level.”
It’s totally the opposite. Blah, this is getting longer than I like my reviews to be LOL but I guess that’s because I really like this service a lot and talking about it gets me a little excited!
Okay, so aside from it actually being a “service” (and I’d even go so far to call it a “live service” even though live people aren’t necessarily picking your keywords); having fab customer service, and staying on top of, and in, the game; here are some of the things it does:
- See history and month-by-month keyword activity
- Create a comparison chart that allows you to compare a bunch of keywords and see what’s rising or falling in demand
- Allows you to do what you would normally do in a BUNCH of windows all in one place
- Gathers info from various sources, not just one or two…or even three
- Even find “typo” keywords that can be goldmines
- Find niche products
- Allows you to easily manage your results and prospective keywords
- and more than I can even keep going into!
Take a look for yourself. Do what I did and sign up for the $1 trial (2 weeks) and see if you don’t get hooked like I did!
Memberships, after the trial, start for as little as under $20 a month. If you’re into making money online, you can turn this little service into as much money as you want.
Sign up for your $1 trial here. I challenge you to NOT love it!
