Top Keyword Lists & Keyword Databases

Wordtracker - The WordTracker service offers the ability to research what people are searching for via the popular meta search services of MetaCrawler and Dogpile. It provides access to query logs stretching back for two months, which amounts to 350 million queries or 40 million unique search terms. The database is also kept constantly updated, with new data added each week.

Overture (GoTo) Search Term Suggestion Tool - The link takes you to the Overture (formerly GoTo) sign-up page. On the right-hand side of the page, in the "Tools" area, click on the "Search Term Suggestion Tool" link. A new window will open. Enter a term you wish to research, and you'll be shown how many searches were done for that term and other terms that include it, for the previous month. If the link fails to work (Overture moves it around), then you may need to open an account to access the tool.

UK - Espotting Keyword Generator - Allows you research term popularity over the past 30 days across Espotting's UK paid listings network. To reach the generator, look for the "Keyword Generator" link just about the sign-up form.

How to check you website's listing in Google or MSN/Yahoo

The full article is found here, Checking Your Listing In Search Engines, but really on these two matter:

Google

At Google, commands can be used to find a single URL or multiple web pages from a particular site, as explained below:

URL Search

To find a single page listed in Google's crawler-based index, you can use the "allinurl:" command, such as:

allinurl:ehso.com/ehsohome/

The allinurl command works the same as with AltaVista, which means you can also use it to find pages within a particular section of a web site. Be sure to omit the http:// prefix.

Please note that if you are trying to find web pages with both words in the URL and in the document itself, you'll need to use the special "inurl" command. This is explained more in the URL Search section of the Power Searching For Anyone page.

Site Search

To locate all the URLs listed from a particular web site, use the "site:" command in combination with a word or words that you know appear on all the pages. For example:

site:ehso.com searchenginewatch

would bring up all (or nearly all) of the pages Google lists from Search Engine Watch, because all the pages should have the word "searchenginewatch" on them as part of the footer text.

You must use the site command in combination with a search term. It will not work, otherwise.

Google AdWords Keyword Suggestion Tool - This shows top queries related to the terms you input, though it doesn't provide guidance as to frequency. You'll find a link to the tool in the Pricing and Minimum Clickthrough Requirements, Part 4, of the AdWords FAQ page.

MSN / Yahoo
