Keyword Tools
Hello Folks. I published a blog recently - https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/robert-a/blog/finding-your-niche and in it I mentioned free Keyword Tools that I use. I have just come across two new ones. Certainly the first one I have never heard of.
Anyway I usually use the best ones I can find for my LTK’s for my mobile sites because It’s no secret that long-tailed keywords have become more prominent and powerful over the years because as mobile use continues to increase, these LTK’s will only become more valuable.
There was also a recent study that showed 50 percent of search queries contained four words or more especially in voice search. This is where LTK’s come into their own because the average voice search query is five to six words in length. This means that targeting single keywords is not as powerful as it once was. This doesn’t mean that this strategy is now useless. It’s just losing potency as long-tailed keywords grow in frequency.
The bottom line is that users want answers when they search and know that the more specific a query is, the higher the chances are of them finding the answers they seek. This of course means that marketers must shift their focus from targeting specific keywords to answering questions, and to do that you must go beyond Google’s or any other keyword tool, and yes I’m afraid that includes Jaaxy.
Using The Right Tools
While Google Keyword Planner is still an outstanding tool, there are a lot of other alternatives you can use and after a wee bit research I found a new tool called Answer the Public which is great for SEO.
It is a UK based one but other countries can use it as well from a little dropdown menu. It uses a unique way of identifying terms and phrases. After entering a keyword the tool returns questions related to your term in the form of a wheel organized by queries that begin with “where,” “who,” “what,” “when,” “why,” “which,” “how,” and “are.” There is also a second wheel formatted by prepositions “like,” “for,” “with,” “without,” “versus” and several others.
This is an invaluable tool because the results displayed show potential problems that your audience is encountering that you can then create content to solve.
There is one drawback to this tool, and that is it doesn’t show search volume data, but never fear because this can easily be obtained from other tools such as InstaKeywords.
InstaKeywords allows users to conduct basic and in-depth research on long-tailed keywords. Type in the phrase you want to know more about and the tool will return various long-tailed phrases, CPC information, local and global search volume and the previous month’s numbers.
There you go folks two great keyword tools so I suggest you give them a whirl and you never know you might even ditch your old one. What’s that they say - off with the old and on with the new. You have to move with the times people so give them a go. But before you do you can leave a comment below and let everyone know how it worked for you.
Have a great day or evening.

You are correct about the search style of average Joe. He is getting very specific. We can do the same with our keyword tools by using long tails.
Hello Janelle and how goes it with you, well I hope and you are making inroads into your marketing endeavours from what you learned from the lessons and training.
You're right of course with regard to the new wave of users who are being more specific with their search terms and we marketers would do well to take note of this continuing trend.
I personally try to use as many LTKs as possible and I believe I get better results from the search engines with this strategy.
Thank you for dropping by and leaving your comment.
have a nice day.

Hello Brian and thank you for your comment.
I hadn't heard of the UK based one so I gather its new.
I had heard about Instakeywords though.
Both have their merits so I will be trying them both.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
Enjoy your day.

Hello Gina and thank you for your comment.
keyword tools are easy to use once you get rid of your own mindset and start thing thinking like the searchers.
So basically its not what you want and the words you would use but the people you want to attract to your site.
You should ask other people what would they type into a browser for a specific item. Works wonders for me and you would be surprised at some of the answers.
Have an excellent day Gina.

Thanks Robert, this is a great tool as I was really finding it hard to look for LTK on our traditional keyword tools.
What did I say - off with the old and on with the new.
Seems to fit the bill for you anyway.
Glad to be of some help and thank you for your comment.
have a nice day.
