Default Looking For A Tool

I am looking for a great keyword research tool. I also want to be able to see my competitions keywords..... I have been looking at Spyfu.com and it looks pretty cool.... Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think Spyfu is your best bet, I also use www.hittail.com and google analytics to analyze my own keyword referrals. I use wordtracker to brainstorm keywords, and then verify their actual search volume by running a ppc campaign to test the waters before optimizing. Cheers, welcome aboard

I also like SpyFu. I use Google Keyword Tool that shows the proportion of advertisers and volumen of searches by periods.

I like any term that ends with "-Fu".

Logan should change this forum name to "SmallBizFu"... Or maybe make a discussion area for SEO topics called "WebFu" or "PageRankFu".

From here forward, any posts from Sporkman shall be referred to as SporkFu



I also will use the Google Adwords tool, sorting by popularity and competition which in that case refers to the number of ppc bidders. Those with more competition likely have a lot of pages optimized, but tend to convert good roi also based on the number of ppc bidders

Except, strangely, my mouth doesn't seem to move in sync with what I'm saying... Like I'm being dubbed, or something.
