Overture Keyword Selector Tool let’s you type a keyword and see the search term results for the keyword and related keyword search terms for the past month. Yahoo uses the Overture Keyword Selector Tool. Here is the keyword search results for “condo”.

iwhois.com has the Tool and it let’s you select the keyword for a given country. I searched “home” in the UK vs. “home” in the US & got these keyword search results:

home-us.jpg US

Test the keywords on Google, Yahoo, MSN, ASK and Dogpile and see what websites appear. Your niche keywords will get your blog posts higher rankings. Use top keywords coupled with your geographic niche in your blog post titles, text, and links. For example, if “home for sale” is the second most popular keyword term and your market is Inkster, Michigan try using these terms in titles, text and links: “Inkster home for sale”, “Inkster Michigan home for sale” or “home for sale Inkster” and see where your blog posts rank as a result.

    Very cool. We actually ended up building a keyword tool that selects 100% Yahoo! relevancy keywords based on the content on the page so you can write with keywords in mind but use the tool to select the actual keywords would prefer to see. Takes the guess work out of keyword selectiona nd boosts relevancy.

    That SEO game is one we’d like to learn to play. The related post has links to keyword density tools. All very high tech and hush hush.

    BTW REBlogGirl, caught your interview with Matt (&Jonathan) of Active Rain. Very nice. You’re a natural. You have to host a Blogtalk radio segment. We’re thinking of doing one. Brian Clark of Copyblogger and Mike Arrington of Techcrunch have been interviewed. Check the archives there. You get call in questions and it’s live—all very exciting.

    Why isn’t the search site working? It hasn’t for about the last 1 1/2 hours.
