Keyword research and analysis tools are essential for finding keywords. These are used for creating web pages that get found by the search engines.

• One of the best keyword research and analysis tools is Wordtracker, and we recommend that you try the free Wordtracker trial before reading on.

Wordtracker.com make their profits when clients find that their free MSN results have been effective. By that time, the clients should have made enough money to pay for Google and Yahoo results!

The initial steps to take in doing keyword research and analysis are:

• Determine if your niche has enough traffic to make it worthwhile creating web content. 
• Make sure that the competition is relatively weak. You need to get on the first few pages of search engine results.
• Build a huge list of low competition keywords relevant to your niche.

Ways of creating a keyword list:

• Look at the keywords contained in the competition's meta-keyword tag.
• Try to think like search engine user and write down as many relevant search terms as you can think of.
• Use Wordtracker or Keyword Discovery to find as many keywords as you can from this initial list.
• Take the phrases you have generated and juggle the words within them to create other plausible phrases.
• Look at sites that appear high in the major search engines for the best of the new keyword phrases that you have generated.

If you want to make money, then focus on keywords that are purchase related. For instance, phrases like "Hamlet DVD" are likely to bring in more buying customers than "Free Hamlet text".

So what's enough traffic? Rosalind Gardner suggests around 50 000 searches a month is indicative of a good market.
