Advisable: Sem Rush Uk (website Positioning Device Assessment/key Phrase Research) | Hobo
I must say I am enjoying using SEM RUSH (Aff), a keyword research tool for, well, professional keyword snoopers. I had previously steered clear of most of these types of tools as I had traditionally found them, while useful, very U.S. centric.
SEM Rush – A Quick Review
My interest was renewed when I was told about the new SEMRush UK keyword database (as I am UK based obviously):
Currently indexing top 20 results on 6 million keywords across more than 6,4 million domains. 47768 users. Last update: 29 of May 2010
Well I like it. This tool lets you see:
which keywords seem to be popular in your niche,
related keywords, prhases and terms you might consider weaving into your content and linkbuilding strategies
gives you an idea (when you aggregate the data) which natural listings in Google are providing competitors unpaid traffic
lists top ranking sites competing for those keywords
shows you on average how much a click on this keyword is worth in Google Adwords (although it would be nice to see that in Sterling () rather than dollars
illustrates how competitive this term is (in Adwords at least, by number of competition)
how many (on average) times the keyword or phrase is typed into the UK version of Google
you can get a cool firefox plugin as well and export research data to usual formats
and more
You can really do some neat stuff if you are a keyword monkey. SEM rush has databases for US, UK, Spain, Germany, France & Spain markets if you need to international.
Well its cool and simple to use (especially if you have REAL data to correlate, aggregate and compare it, with like a few number ones in search engines).
Ill be sharing more keyword research and seo tools shortly, and will review tools if asked. Note if I dont like them, I probably wont blog about the tool (less it is a scam or total crap and then I just might).
