Keyword Research Tools

Keyword research is extremely important in affiliate marketing or any type of internet marketing. Keywords are the lifeblood of your affiliate marketing campaigns. The reason for this is quite simple...

... Having your affiliate websites show up in the search engines is exactly what you want because the traffic from search engines, apart from being free, is very targeted.

You therefore need to know what keywords or keyword terms people are typing into the search boxes for your particular niche...

I have tried many keyword tools, but I would only mention a few of the better ones.

Google Keywords - The online Google Keywords search tool is quite useful and it is free. This tool gives you the number of searches (per month) for the keyword that you are interested in as well as a list of other related keywords and the number of searches for those. It also shows the number of advertisers (in the form of a shaded bar) bidding on each keyword relative to all keywords across Google. Check out the Google Keyword Tool...

Nichebot - Nichbot is a web-based resource that helps you find laser-targeted keywords. Nichebot use the databases of Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery and Google. Visit the Nichebot Keyword Tool...

Wordtracker - The wordtracker tool is also web-based and is very popular amongst internet marketers. It has many features like those of Nichebot, but unlike Nichebot, the wordtracker database is much more limited... It doesn't, for example, allow you to get information from the Google database.
