Destiny Cushing, a buddying SEO blogger at Blueglass.com has put together a valuable showcase of five different and little known keyword research tools.

Beyond Google’s Keyword Tool, Wordtracker, SEO Book’s Keyword Suggestion Tool, and Keyword Discovery there is indeed a little universe of alternative possibilities.

And among the many, these five were selected on the basis of three very specific requirements:

a) the tool has to be free

b) it must be immediately useful, and

c) it must provide something you can’t get with the full-service tools (they offer additional insights and ways to manipulate your keyword lists that the other tools don’t offer. And for free.)

Here their names.

See if you have heard about them before diving in:

• Übersuggest – Alphabet Keyword Suggestion Tool
   
• Soovle – Keyword Suggestions from 7 Search Engines
   
• Ranks.nl – Keyword Combiner
   
• Yahoo! Search Clues – Trend Analysis
   
• YouTube Keyword Tool

Superuseful. 9/10.

Robin Good: Brad Neelan does a good job of outlining and summarizing what it takes to find relevant new content themes that can help you or your company stand out and become more relevant to your readers.

In synthesis, this is the three-step strategy he suggests to use:

"What you are looking for is data insights that highlight a trending topic or illustrate an opportunity area based on emerging interest.

When you couple these trending keyword opportunities with categories of interest to your business clientele, you can formulate a snapshot based on growing patterns of interest.

...When you begin to institutionally think about where you can capitalize on keywords that are either not yet in vogue, or about to become breakout, you will find that search provides a wealth of potential insight to inform your next big differentiating position.

...Once you have begun to think about the opportunities keyword insights can provide, you collect the concepts into a pool of potential targets grouped by theme."

Useful. 7/10
