Keyword Research Tools

There are more keyword research tools than I care to think about. While alot of them are good , it pays to keep in mind that no-one of them is “The Best”. They all provide great keyword information from counts to other phrases and loads of other things.

Typically what I do when I have one of my whacky niche ideas is to load up Microniche Finder and key in the phrase that I’m interested in researching. Micro Niche finder makes its easy it provides dozens of longtail keywords which appear right at your finger tips. Complete with search counts and competition. Honestly it takes the guess work right out of the equation. I’m a bit lazy and like to decide on niches quickly without having to do any head scratching, or chewing on doubts as to whether or not this phrase or that phrase is a good one or not. Just type a phrase or keyword into the search bar and 5 seconds later you’re in business buying a kewrd rich domain name or writing a great review, blog post that you know is going to get results.

Here are just a few of the other Keyword Tools that I can remember off the top of my head…

• Wordtracker (paid)
• Free Wordtracker Tool
• Overture Keyword Selector Tool (this tool barely works anymore)
• SEO Book Keyword List Generator
• Keyword Elite (paid)
• Keyword Companion(paid) [Ed: I no longer recommend this tool. Don’t get it.]
• Ad Word Analyzer (paid)
• Keywords Analyzer (paid)
• Good Keywords
• NicheBot Classic
• NicheBOT v2 (paid)
• Keyword Discovery (paid)
• Keyword Domination (paid)
• Google Keyword Tool
• Google Suggest
• Digital Point Keyword Research Tool
• Keyword Intelligence (paid)
• KwBrowse

In more than a few forums you’ll surf in your time online you’ll see many questions about how to cloak affiliate or cloaking Click bank affiliate links.

Why bother?

Look heres what Ive found about all this cloaking hoplinks and affiliate links and all the rest of that mumbo jumbo.

I spend a good deal of time online, either on my own or surfing with my girlfriend or just with other friends. And I can tell you this conclusively, that the average everyday joe doesnt have the slightests idea whata hoplink is, if it is cloaked or not, or if anyone is marketing using hoplinks.

I have more than a few blogs or websites in various niches. All all of them are using naked links. That is links that are not cloaked, hidden or anything other than left plain and open.

Somy conclusion is simply this. Taht if you are in any niche other than the MMO or IM niches then dont bother.

Another way to avoid doing this is to offer value or a bonus.

So something like. When you buy from my link you will recieve (insert bonus here)

So in effect what you are doing is this enticing somoene to buy from your site as opposed to buying from somoenelse site.

Try it and see for your self, theres really no need to cloak your hoplinks
