The Niche Marketing Keyword Research Tool That NOBODY is Talking About!

By Mark Bishop

I don't know about you but I find the whole niche marketing keyword research process a little laborious some times, now don't get me wrong I know the importance of finding those important little keywords for you niche market.

I'm sure your familiar with the whole process and the standard advice, find a hot niche, research your keywords, use Overture or subscribe or Wordtracker etc. Not that there’s anything wrong with the advice or indeed these tools.

What I suppose has mystified me a little is why no one ever seems to advocate the use of a free tool called 'Google Suggest'. I've been using this great little niche market research tool for some time now for some reason no one seems to be mentioning it, which I must admit surprises me.

If your niche marketing business needs keyword research (and lets face it we all need to do this from time to time) or just information for web pages, perhaps your compiling information for a Google Adwords PPC campaign or anything else, then this is something you really must be looking at, and hey this is FREE.

I use 'Google Suggest' as a keyword idea generator or brainstorming method, whatever you want to call it this tool is great and can have few equals.

The idea behind it is like predictive texting on mobile phones, you start typing something and the
software looks at what you are typing and finishes it off for you, which gives you a long list of keywords and phrases, I know there's nothing unique about this particular feature, however what makes 'Google Suggest' a useful tool to me is the fact that next to each keyword or phrase you will see the total search volume based on popularity, from information Google has saved from actual
searches..

If you look at the numbers to the right of the search terms returned, you get an instant picture of how popular these searches are on the internet. Now Google doesn’t exactly spell this out, but
the 10 results that you see are placed in order of number of searches.

I find this little trick can produce some interesting results and perhaps even some niche areas of a sector you may never have even considered, but why stop there, I like to pull out a few of the phrases or keywords that catch my eye and then plug them back into 'Google Suggest' and see what else pops up.

You can use this tool for niche brainstorming, as a niche market locator or as part of your overall keyword research strategy, try it, you can even get a 'Google Suggest' tool bar now.

Another excellent keyword research tool has recently been drawn to my attention and has some really great features, the list is a bit endless and i probably wouldn't be doing the software justice if i quickly skimmed over it. I will post up a review as soon as I've had time to trial it, If you want to take a look for yourself click the link below.
