Wordtracker is a commercial tool used by professional search engine optimizers and webmasters to increase website traffic . You can take a free trial to test the powerful Wordtracker features before subscribing to the services offered which is certainly a nice option. Wordtracker helps you find all keyword combinations that bear any relation to your business or service – many of which you might never have considered.

You simply login to your account, and provide a “seed” word, and wordtracker guides you through the rest, as it pulls up tons of related keywords, and lets you analyze the results.

WordTracker offers a free trial of key word searches and competitive analysis (only for Altavista). Don’t make your decision alone on the free trial as it only comes with a limited set of tools and is a lot slower to use then the full subscription version. Wordtracker provides a highly automated service, as opposed to the manual analyses offered by many “optimization” or “placement” consultants. It starts with collecting millions of actual search terms typed by users on major metacrawlers. Wordtracker can search its database of over 300 million searches over the last 60 days, and find out if anyone searches on the term you picked.

I really like wordtracker. Even though the data only represents less then 1% of actual searches, it is the best tool on the market. Wordtracker has saved me countless hours of effort, and helped me direct my website building focus on niches that have been profitable. If you don’t do keyword research before you construct a website, you are truly building in the dark. Wordtracker helps me to understand the market before I jump in with both feet.
