Google Keyword Tool Help for Newbies

I do not think that anyone would argue with me that the absolute best keyword tool is the Google Keyword Tool. You can analyse hundreds of keywords that are relevant to your website and it even identifies the competition for those keywords. Input your competitor's URL in the tool and it will show the keywords for which the site is optimized.
Research before Spending on SEO
If you have a website that sells products or services and you're thinking about investing some time into search engine optimization (SEO) to expand your business, you need to eliminate the guess - work. SEO is time - consuming and SEO companies can cost thousands per month and to a small business that can be extremely negative if it's not going to deliver results to your bottom line.
Do not jump blindly into your online campaigns. It's much smarter to become familiar with the free online tools which will help you target keywords for best results; tools that enable you to analyse multiple keywords and download csv files for further analysis.
Not sure how to use the Google keyword tool or how to download a csv file?
Here are the step by step instructions:-

There are some things that the Google keyword tool will not show you and that is why the Rank Assess Tool™ is the second best free tool available to help you decide which keywords will be best for your site. You can input a keyword and the tool calculates the amount of traffic for all ranks 1 through to 10. It works in tandem with the Google tool to show the effects that rank improvement has on your sales.
