Korean and Japanese key word

Targeting Korean and Japanese key words

[littlemike]

As we all know Korean + Japanese are amongst the most popular languages on the web.
I am trying to find a good source for popular key words in these languages.
So far I came across [google.com...] and Overture who has a good key word suggestion tool for both Japanese [content.overture.com] and Korean [content.overture.com].

Does anyone have more ideas?

Cheers

Google's AdWords has a tool like Overture's that will suggest other popular related keywords. There are no commercially available services like WordTracker in Japanese or Korean that I've heard of.

littlemike, I've been searching for keyword suggestors in the Asia Pacific regions for some time and there is very little available. These include the overture ones we already know, and a few from the Philippines and Australia. Most of the larger SEM/SEO outfits use their internal/client resources to compile lists for internal use only. There is definitely a need for more publicly available Keyword Information in the AP region.

The challenge is though that as soon as a Search Engine releases data like that then they become a target for Position Spam, unfortunately a double edged sword.

If you can get the Japanese search engines to give up this data littlemike I would be truly impressed. I know of people who have attempted this with very little success unfortunately.
