I use Long Tail Pro for keyword research. You enter in 5 keywords and it uses the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to generate literally thousands of related keyword phrases which you can filter and analyze by search volume and organic competitiveness. Click on a keyword phrase and you get an in-depth analysis of the top 10 organic competitors so you can determine how easy or difficult it would be to make it on the first page of Google. It's by far my favorite keyword research tool, especially for finding great long tail phrases to target with blog posts.

The way I like to start off for keyword research is by going into google keywords tool and typing in the main keyword for the terms I am opting. Also be sure to check [exact] on the left to see exact results for each keyword. Once you type this in click on local monthly searches to organize these phrases. I organize mine so that I can see which terms fit the project best and will most likely be a conversion.
Having the "keyword" followed by "quote" is more likely to convert into a quote.
Using Googles keyword tool you will get you good suggestions and also help you see if there is a good ROI.
I notice that you have an SEOmoz account... Why not use it?
To keep track of your keywords simply add your site as a new campaign to your SEOmoz account (basic pro member gets 5 sites) and add all your keywords. SEOmoz will send you an email every week with the terms you've selected. You can also include your analytics so that you can see if your site is gaining enough traffic from a selected phrase this is helpful because once you realize that a keyword is in spot 5 on Google and is getting you a great amount of converting traffic you may want to focus on getting that specific phrase more ranking.

There are several software for this purpose. I use Market Samurai, is a great tool to find the "gold nuggets keywords" ant target the keywords in your market.
But it is also an excellent tool for find content, monotorizatin, rank tracker etc

We use BrightEdge, although this is pricey, it does give excellent data on what competitors are focusing on. I also conduct a lot of manual research just using Google Search and Google Insights. Honestly, although BE does give excellent data quickly, I would have to say that nothing is going to out perform good ole' manual research. I have never used the Market Samurai that Roberto mentioned but I have heard nothing but good things. Also - you are a pro member here.... there are many GREAT tools available to you

I use market samurai for keyword research. It' been a solid tool for quite a while.

New Rules Keywords of Google Panda
Hello Everyone,.. I want to ask regarding my confusion of Keywords. How does search engine see the keywords? and find the website that is matched with the keywords. So this is what I mean: When I type keywords "luxury dog clothes" at google, then the website which is showed up, is nothing using keyword of "luxury dog clothes". But then appeared websites which in bold words are "designer dog clothes", "dog clothes", "designer dog" . Can anyone please help me to explain why Google shows the website which is not identical matched keywords "luxury dog clothes" that I am looking for? I read at the beginer guide SEO, that the good keywords must be placed at the front of the title then in the body description, placed no more than 2 times. But in fact, for the example above, there is nothing words of "luxury dog clothes" placed at the title and in the body description. This makes me very confuse how to determine the right keyword for mine, especially the long tail keywords. Thank you everyone. Hopefully you all can help me to explain as I am a newbie at SEO.

Cheap/ Discount/ Value/ Sale Keywords
Hi, Does anyone have any experience in targeting cheap/discount/value etc keywords in an SEO campaign? I'm interested to find out: How Google perceives these keywords, as the search results are only very slightly different if you search with or without a 'cheap' keyword. Whether Google differentiates between 'cheap synonyms ie 'cheap' and 'affordable'. There are far higher searches for 'cheap' but affordable is much more user- and conversion-friendly. Thanks, Karen

Branded Keywords
I know branded keywords are variations of your company name. However, my company sell a number of exclusive products that have been trademarked so no other company can use that name. Is that counted as a branded keyword?

Keyword: singular vs plural
Hi, I've been putting some efforts to rank well for "San Antonio Wedding Photographer". I am ranked ok for that but not so on "San Antonio Wedding Photographers". My website is http://www.soobumimphotography.com/ So now, I am trying to rank for "San Antonio Wedding Photographers" instead since Google auto fills wedding "photographers" in search term. Question - Should I change my site title and some post / page title etc? What's the best way to do this? Thank you Soobum

Geographically Specific Keyword Research - What do you use?
Does anyone recommend a particular keyword research tool or tools for geographically modified keywords? i.e. Web DesignerF Fargo.
