Two Useful Tools

There are a few gems on the internet that not only provide a useful service but also cost you nothing.  Here are a couple you may or may not know of:

TOOL #1 KEYWORD SPY
http://www.keywordspy.com

You can get a free account here, no need to upgrade although you may wish to do so. What keyword spy does is that it allows you to type in a domain or a few keywords and see what keywords advertisers are bidding on!

So if you promote a weight loss product via Clickbank, you can easily, type in the domains of the sales page and, PRESTO, the keywords are there for your pickings.

Also, if you type in popular keywords like ‘weight loss’ you can see what other variations or long tail keywords are people bidding on!

This is great if you want to concentrate on the lower volume but more targeted clicks. Or if you want to spy on what keywords your competitors are bidding on.

TOOL #2 GOOGLE TRENDS

You can use this tool for A LOT of stuff.

You can check profitability of a certain keyword, trend OR event by checking out if its popularity has been declining or increasing.

This is a great start for you to check things out before creating an info product or before commencing on an affiliate promotion!

You can also spot certain trends that are coming up…these are good places to pick what niche to enter in for ADSENSE

Not only that you can COMPARE keywords against keywords so you can determine which phrase is more popular. (It even tells you which country searches the most for the particular trend/keyword!)

Very powerful tool.

Hopefully these tools will help you in whatever means you use to grow your business.
