What's the best way to find ranking keywords and phrases?
I have tried Google Keyword Tool but it just doesn't do the job for me (or I'm using it wrong).
My main focus is people who are looking for energy saving tricks, but I'm not sure if this is the right keyword / keyphrase.
The goal of this question is not to get other people to do the research for me, but rather to find the right tools and usage of those tools for the job.

Hi Nick,
SEOmoz tools would be a brilliant start, but you could also use bing webmaster tools which is nice and easy to use.

Hi Nick,
You're probably best looking around for some more detailed articles on different types of keyword research. It's a broad area with lots of different approaches and tools.
Here's a few links to SEOmoz articles to get you started. I'm sure more people will give their opinions on tools etc.

Most efficiënt way to retrieve search volume for thousands of keyword
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how I can efficiently get search volumes for large quantities of keywords. Unfortunately Keyword Planner has reduced their limit of keywords:
Keyword Research | | CB0001
"You entered too many keywords. Please limit the number of keywords to 1,000. You can also upload a file with up to 800 keywords." Weirdly, the file upload's limit is now even lower than the normal limit. A 1000 keywords a time will be a real chore when you want to retrieve search volume for 50.000 keywords. I tried SEMrush, but it does not suffice due to the fact that a lot of keywords in my language (Dutch) are not in the database. I also looked into the Adwords API, but this does not yet seem to have any implementation in Google sheets? Ideas are welcome!1 -

Google Keyword tool data + No. 1 Serp rank =/= to taffic on landing page
So a keyword we are targeting "painted bedroom furniture" google keyword tool says gets 480 exact local searches (and 880 broad), and in the same local google we have ranked 1st for months (and currently we are 2nd and 3rd too), but looking at the google analytics that landing page has only gotten 78 unique page views from searches and only 21 from "painted bedroom furniture" . (the 2nd link gets 12 page views and the 3rd gets none, from that keyword) Now for me that does not make sense! For other keyword which we rank No.1 the keyword data and analytics generally match/make sense. Is there something I'm missing?

Keyword Updates
I have a list of keywords in a campaign that I need to update. I use the keyword report card to review those keyword performance by page. I dont currently see a way to update those keywords, I only see the option to add or delete. I don't want to delete and re-enter because then I will lose that "mapping". Is there a way to simply update a keyword?
