I'd rather not open that door. There are many for-a-fee keyword tools/services available. You can find most of them [url=http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Authoring/Online_Tools/Keywords/]listed here[/url].

If you know of a worthy tool that isn't listed, take a minute to [url=http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Authoring/Online_Tools/Keywords]to fillout the form[/url].

7Search.com's Keyword Suggestion Tool
http://conversion.7search.com/scripts/advertisertools/keywordsuggestion.aspx [conversion.7search.com]

It's sort of a "poor man's Overture search tool". When I'm doing exhaustive keyword popularity research using free sources, I try to use this tool.

Although it's often painfully slow and doesn't have the same searching volume as competing Google AdWords or Overture, it doesn't aggregate plurals & singulars (unlike Overture, a major failing in my book), so you can get an honest sense of the difference between searches for "keyword" and "keywords".

Very good overview Josk thank`s for putting together the list. I have already bookmarked it. ;)

[kapow]

Great post.

[Rumbas]

Cool :)
Thanks for summarizing it Josk. Went straight to the Hotlist.

[ScottM]

Is there a utility available to check keywords out of season?

Like "Christmas" or "Valentines Day" etc..

If you know of a URL like that please sticky mail me.

[kapow]

No indication of popularity on the Google tools :(

I also like to check the top search terms every so often:

can't seem to get the French espotting tool to actually produce results.. is it down?

[tigger]

anyone got any ideas whats happening to Overture(uk) keyword tool it's been offline for days

[Woz]

Phew!, I thought it was me that broke it!

Overture US has been haphazard as well. Perhaps server overload whilst all those not at pubcon02 decided to make good of the opportunity.

Whatever, I hope they are back online soon.
