5 Powerful Tools for Keyword Suggestions and Ideas
Many of you experienced keyword-junkies out there may already know about these tools, but nonetheless these are some very important tools that can be used to create the most powerful use of keywords for your website or blog. Heres what we start out with (keep in mind, these are tools for keyword building and research and dont delve into issues such as keyword density, page flow etc,). These are used primarily for Suggestions.
This tool can be called the “big brother” of keyword drilling based on generic ideas.Its both a great tool for figuring out potential keyword combinations based both on ideas presented and semantic terms.
It also doubles up by showing search traffic for these terms according to Google. (Even though I believe most of the data is skewed to an extent).

Keyword Discovery is yet another service which tries to replicate the function of Word tracker. But, Keyword Discovery scores a separates itself from the rest when it comes to usability as well as finding regional search data. If youre trying to figure out the search data for regional terms or optimizing for google.co.uk or .com.au, this is one awesome tool.

I included Word tracker in this list after much resistance, not because the tool is not perfectly a keyword research tool, but because its more of an antique tool. Word tracker hasnt evolved one bit over the years and still sticks to its basic function of suggesting keywords based on a thesaurus type model and displaying the search data based on meta-crawlers like Dogpile.
The only thing I like with Word tracker is its keyword basketing system ( almost like an e commerce site checkout ) and its massive KEI functions.

Google Suggest is NOT EXACTLY a typical keyword research tool, its more of an attempt by Google to tweak their search quality. But, this tool is awesome for finding our long keywords phrases! I had to include this in the list for the amazing arrays of search phrases you can optimize your website with the help of this tool. After all, keyword search phrases are gold!

This feature is similar to Google Suggest. After all, Yahoo is the second largest search engine on the net.

The Google Index New Webmaster Tools Feature Reveals Which of Your Pages Are Indexed
A widely asked question from webmasters for several years has often revolved around the notorious Google index and their sites placing within it. Is my site included? Has it been removed? Has that new page been indexed yet? What about that other one?
Fortunately for everyone, last month Google announced its attempts to answer some of these questions by publishing a new feature to its webmaster tools.
Found under the Health section of your webmaster tools account, the new Index Status report is able to tell you exactly how many pages it has included in its index.
Initially youll be given a graph showing the total number of URLs from your site that has been added to Googles index during the last year. Most sites will see a steady increase in the number indexed over time.
Under the advanced tab you are given access to far more useful information. Not only are you given the total number of pages indexed but also the total pages crawled, the pages crawled but not indexed and the attempted page crawls which were blocked.
It is broken down as so:
Total Indexed the total number of URLs from the site added to the Google Index.
Ever Crawled the cumulative total number of URLs on your site which Google has ever accessed.
Not Selected URLs which Google have chosen not to include in their index. This is often due to the URLs redirecting to other pages or containing content which is significantly similar to other pages.
Blocked by Robots – URLs which Google have attempted to crawl but were denied access due to being blocked within the sites robots.txt file.
It is important that you note that the figures provided are all totals. In that the figure for that particularly day meant that at that point in time, those number of pages are indexed or have been crawled. The figure doesnt suggest that number of pages were indexed that day. This is important for older sites with a large number of pages. Those sites may experience significantly large differences between the number of pages crawled and the number of pages indexed.
But what if your graph doesnt look like those above. What if your graph is showing spikes and valleys? Whilst a spiking and dropping graph would be the first indicator of possible indexation problems, the important thing to do is assess how and when the graph spikes.
Any variations in the charts could well be easily explained based on changes you have made to your site.
Changing your URL structure, setting up a high number of redirects or canonical URLs could well see a rise in the “Not Selected” count as well as a spike and drop with your total indexed count. Adding lots of new content to your site which is getting initially indexed will also cause variation in the charts.
It is important to assess any variations and see if there are legitimate causes behind these changes. If you have no clear idea as to why these counts may change then that is a fairly clear indication that there are technical issues with your site which need addressed.
The most useful function of the new feature is to allow webmasters to identify trends and discover whether Google is indexing their content. If Google is shown to be having difficulty indexing the site correctly this can be the first indicator that the site is having technical issues with canonicalization, duplicate content or other elements of your sites structure.
Although only once Google reveals exactly which pages are indexed or not will this tool be able to fully solve any indexation problems.
