Keyword Tools That Can Save Your Marketing Campaign

MARKET SAMURAIThe planning for any online marketing campaign, or even for any website, begins with keyword analysis. Before you can assess the viability of a targeted marketplace, you’ll need to indentify what the demand and the competition look like.

Great demand with lots of competition is usually a bad situation. The same goes for a market with little demand, since the amount of competition is obviously a moot point. What you’e basically looking for is high demand with manageable competition.

There are some terrific tools on the market that help you sort out this situation. Here are a few potential options. Except for Google’s offering, most require some investment.
