Online SEO tools

Hello folks,

I want to share with all of you a couple of SEO tools I started using the past days. Simple and practical stuff available for free.

SEO tools list

1. Google Trends: Google Trends is a nice way to find out which are the search volumes for the chosen keywords; it also has many filters such as, region, date, category. It permits the comparison among many search terms and at the end of the process draws three nice self explaining graphs. Tips for using it:
   1.  Generic search: just type the keywords you need to check.
   2.  Exact search: type each keyword between square brackets [word]
   3.  Phrase search: type your keywords between quotation marks
2. Google suggest: this nice little feature can give you many suggestions about the most frequently searched keywords. Just start typing and take a look at what’s going on. Remember that it should be used while logged off your Google account, to avoid any interference from your earlier searches.
3. Ubersuggest: This is Google suggest on steroids; type some keywords and let it find all the related ones for you. It takes your base term and adds a letter or a digit in front it, giving you suggestions for it.
4. Google AdWords: create an account and log in, then in the upper menu select instruments > Keyword planner. Here, you have many possible choices. For example, you could try with “Search for a keyword and ad group ideas”; type your words, the product group and select the right target (e.g. the correct, country, language, etc.); you can also choose to use Google only or Google and partners as a search engine. At the end of the search, select the” keyword ideas” tab to take a look at the monthly estimated search volume and related keywords for your search term.

I really hope you will find them useful in helping you find the correct words for your website or blog post, and remember, the best SEO tools still available are your ideas.

Enjoy!
