I just came across this free toolbar that is going to help you tremendously in your keyword research. It’s called CashKeywords.
It is a toolbar that easily installs into your Firefox browser. There a short video explaining what it does and how to use it. Really it’s something you should check out if you do keyword research.

One of the keys to successful selling online is doing research on the market that you want to sell to. It’s a tough uphill battle trying to sell something that no one wants to buy. Almost as hard is trying to sell something that people DO want to buy but you cannot reach.
Doing proper keyword research is critical to finding out what the size of your market is and determining if you can reach that market. Doing the research before you even pick a product to sell will help you from wasting time on a poor product or a poor market as well as steer you to the correct market and product.
There are many free and paid for tools to help you do this research. Google has it’s own free keyword tool that is very powerful and has always formed the basis of my research. then there are tools like Word Tracker and Keyword discovery. The BeBiz software which I am a big fan of because of it’s keyword tool while not free makes sorting and organizing your keyword data a breeze is another top-notch, highly recommended tool. BeBiz has more than just a powerful keyword tool, it also helps you build your whole website taking you step-by-step through the entire process – including how to create your sales page.
Another tool I have just begun using is called MarketSamurai. This thing so far is fantastic. It really gets into depth telling you not only search volumes and the costs that your competitors are paying for PPC (pay-per-click) advertising, but it goes into it even further and then helps you get content for your website.
Like BeBiz, MarketSamurai is not free, but there is a 40 day free trial (no credit card needed), plus I believe the keyword research part of it will always be free.
The fastest way to get traffic to your blog is to select a long-tail keyword related to your blog topic that has a decent amount of searches per month.
You will have to do some keyword research to find these long-tail keywords. I am not going to go into detail on how to do keyword research, since that would be a whole report in itself, but here is how to get traffic to your blog :
For your blog postings you want to use that long-tail keyword in the title and a few times in the article.
If it is a strong enough keyword, can you make a whole page on it? If so, link your blog posting to that page.
Now do a youtube video on that same keyword and point it back to your blog. This does not even have to be your own video, but it should be relevant.
I regularly get 1st page ranking in Google and Yahoo in a short time using this method with correctly formatted blogs.
