Wordtracker If you're actively promoting a site, advertising a site, or trying to increase the traffic to your site, you need Wordtracker.   Wordtracker compiles a database of terms that real people search for.  When you use the tool, you enter your keywords of interest, and Wordtracker tells you how often those words are searched for, and then it tells you how many competing sites use those particular keywords.  So if you're thinking that's a pretty good start on figuring out what the "demand" (number of searches)  and the "supply" (number of competing sites) are, you'd be exactly right! In addition, Wordtracker helps you find keywords and keyword phrases that are related to the keywords you enter - these are usually words and phrases you haven't thought of.  Even if you would eventually think of them, it sure is a lot quicker and easier to get these related words and phrases from Wordtracker.  It can and will save you a LOT of time and effort.  In addition, Wordtracker can then show you, for each major search engine, the chances of making the top 10 for those words and phrases. Wordtracker has a very sensible pricing policy too.  After all, you don't spend all your time every day researching keywords, so you can use the tool for a day for about $8.00, for a week for about $26.00, and so on.  You can look at the options on their site and decide what makes sense for you.   There is also a free trial available there, along with some instructional material so you'll know what the tool is about before you "invest".  Wordtracker is practically an essential tool for doing business online today.  Take a look and see at Wordtracker.com.
