.: The Jury Is Out On Keyword Discovery
Category:Home / Internet Marketing / Search Engine Optimization
A great new software, maybe....... but is the price worth it?
The major problem I have with the software is that it only gives a full 12 months demand/competition figures unless you upgrade to the "Paid API" version which will cost you $400 per month or $3000 a year.
The question you need to ask is "what are you using keyword tools for"?
To make money today? Or to obtain yearly stats? With that in mind, here are a few problems.....
1. If we are looking to make money today (which most of us are) ...... We need statistics that are up to date for the present...... The keyword "web traffic" at the present gets a lots less hits than "increase web site traffic".... But if I were to use keyword discovery it would actually tell me the opposite based on "yearly" figures.
Now if I were a keyword discovery subscriber, only used KD and started doing a lot of work on "web traffic", optimizing my pages, increasing inbound links, etc. And then later I found out that the stats where wrong and I was doing all the work on keywords that were actually receiving a lot less hits, I would be pretty angry to say the least.
So the major problem is this.... I use keyword tracker, I find 100 terms with high demand/low comp right at this present time..... I throw up 100 pages based on those terms and get high ranking for 40..... I make many sales
I use keyword discovery (standard subscription), I find 100 terms with high demand/low comp over one year...... I throw up 100 pages based on those terms........ And only get high ranking on 10 "because" 50% of those terms "right at this very moment/right now" have a lot more comp or less demand than they had 6 months ago.
2. Now say we want long term results? This would be beneficial if we find keywords that continually have high/demand low comp over one year. However from my experience this is very rarely the case due to "online competition" and an ever changing marketing environment.
It would be of benefit to larger websites looking for "medium" competition rates on keywords of which they wish to dominate. With this they then implement an SEO campaign to gain ranking.
3. Having all the country SE's is a benefit but only if you can localize..... As I am trying to rank for terms on search engines where my listing appears, including searches from engines where it will not only distorts my figures and therefore what words I may try and optimize.
4. Where are the KEI results taken from? Not meaning the search term itself but the occurrences? Pages/websites for what search engines... I could not find this information.
So what does this all boil down to?
*If you want long term keyword stats for your online business..... KD just might be the software for you. In all fairness it does also include many other features that you will not find at Keyword Tracker, if these are what your company requires.
If your looking for long term stats but without the competition ratio try...

* If your looking for short term stats you have two choices....
Keyword Discovery at a price of $3000 per year
>> http://www.keyworddiscovery.com
Or Keyword Tracker at $250 per year
>> http://www.web-traffic-toolz.com/wordtracker.html
Like I said the juries out and it all boils down to what type of service and tools your looking for but as the saying goes.... "the devil is in the detail".

1). SEO Contests: Good or Bad?
As a webmaster you probably already know what a SEO Contest is or you surely came across some of them or even participated in. Some of the major SEO contests organized are the v7ndotcom elursrebmem (by v7n.com), Ambachdotcom, Carcasherdotcom, and more recently the Cpayscom2 Online Casino where the winner gets $10,000 for ranking number one on MSN. Now the big question is whether it is good or bad to organize SEO Contests.
2). High Paying Lateral Keywords
If you run AdSense on your site you know that some words pay more than others, much more in fact. More than likely you have also learned that terms like "structured settlements" and "mesothelioma" can produce incredibly high PPC revenue, if they show up on your site at all. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of other webmasters are "on" to this practice judging by the number of sites created regularly to capitalize on the phenomenom.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become an essential weapon in the arsenal of every online business. Unfortunately, for most business owners and marketing managers (and even many webmasters), it's also somewhat of an enigma. This is partly due to the fact that it's such a new and rapidly changing field, and partly due to the fact that SEO practitioners tend to speak in a language all of their own which, without translation, is virtually impenetrable to the layperson.
5). Creating Sitemaps For Google, MSN AND Yahoo! - The Easy Way
If you own or maintain a website or intend to own one, wouldn’t it be great if you get frequent visitors who find satisfaction in getting exactly the information they need from your page?
While that satisfaction largely depends on the contents of your website, how you get to be accessed by website users is the most critical factor of website development.
6). How to Make a Sitemap For Your Website In Five Steps.
A website's sitemap can be compared to the table of contents of a book. The sitemap is important because it guides visitors to the parts of the website in which they are interested. The sitemap allows surfers to reach their destination without wasting time.
Sitemaps are also important from the point of view of search engines. If the search engine finds a sitemap it is much more likely that your page will be fully visited (spidered) and indexed; allowing web surfers to find your pages in their searches.
7). 301 Redirect - The SEO way to rename or move files or folders
In this article I will discuss page redirection techniques, what works and what to avoid.
What is page redirection and why would you want to use it?
Let’s say you rename a page on your website, for whatever reason. Perhaps you decided to revamp your entire naming convention, perhaps you decided to restructure your site and need to move pages into different folders, or you just realized that you are missing valuable keywords.
