Keyword Ranking Tool - This utility can be used to check search engines for keyword ranking and track search engine ranking for your various keywords over time, which, as you probably know, is critical when doing search engine optimization. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/
Overture Keyword Tool - After entering a keyword or phrase, Overture provides a list of related phrases that have been searched on. The tool provides a count that indicates
number of times
phrase has been searched on. http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Topword Tool - Topword Tool is a free online tool that analyzes a complete web page and counts keyword occurrences, as well as keyword phrases (number in brackets), equal to or above that set in
Minimum Occurrences setting. It supplies a list of keywords and keyword phrases which are most likely to achieve
highest rankings on a major search engine. The tool will also analyze your meta description/keyword and title tags and then, through color coding, inform you of words/phrases which should be included. The main use for this tool is checking your optimization and tweaking existing web sites to rank well. http://www.abakus-internet-marketing.de/tools/topword.html
Google Suggestion - The Google Suggestion is a new online tool for webmasters. As you type into
search box, Google Suggest guesses what you're typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google's "Did you mean?" feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. For example, if you type "bass", Google Suggest might offer a list of refinements that include "bass fishing" or "bass guitar". Similarly, if you type in only part of a word, like "progr," Google Suggest might offer you refinements like "programming", "programming languages", "progesterone", or "progressive". You can choose one by scrolling up or down
list with
arrow keys or mouse. The tool provides a number that indicates
number of searches a specific word or phrase has had. http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
Keyword statistics give webmasters a way to tap into what is on
minds of Internet consumers. When you can match your marketing efforts to
various ways people locate their items of interest on
net, potential customers will be streamed to your site like ants to a picnic.
