          Keyword research can take a lot of time.   Suppose you are not sure of what keywords you want to rank for but just want to see a list of phrases that have 500-5000 searches a day, low cost and low competition because you are looking for phrases that interest you for which it will be easier to rank close to #1 in google.   Besides AdWords Keyword Tool, are there sites that specialize in this?

            I agree with all the thoughts shared so far but would suggest SEMrush as my preferred tool for keyword research.

            When conducting research, it is important to clarify if you desire to rank in organic search or plan to use PPC advertising. Many of the tools, including SEMrush and the adwords tool Alan shared, define "competition" in terms of ads, not organic search. High competition means there are several bidders for PPC ads who are bidding close to the same amount. This information is completely unrelated to organic search.

            Even tools which evaluate competitiveness for organic search can be highly inaccurate. For example, many tools will look at the current top 5 or 10 results and strictly grade based on PR / PA. There could be less relevant results from sites like Wikipedia or other heavy hitters which rank strongly for the query therefore showing it as highly competitive. By targeting your keyword usage you may be able to beat other sites on some keywords. To clarify, I am not recommending you try to ever compete head to head with Wikipedia, but there are ways to beat them in some spots.

              Low hanging fruit is what you are looking for, what we do is first use the adwords keyword tool followed by the SEOmoz keyword difficulty tool. It's not perfect but it gives an indication of how easy it will be to rank for a particular keyword.

              EGOL is right however in saying that if a keyword is easy to rank for then the reason is that your competitors have regarded that keyword as not being valuable, meaning you won't either.

                I think that most of these "mouse holes" have been discovered and are now occupied.  🙂

                You might find one but I think that you will discover... is when competition is easy and the cost is low there is a really good reason for that.

                    Keywords with and without diacritics

                    Hi, I am trying to make my site to appear in the search results even the searched term have or have not been wrote with diacritics for example: "șarpe" or "sarpe". The language is Romanian. If I seach for "Românul cu maşină, marea victimă" or "Romanul cu masina, marea victima" the first result for both searches is the same. I don't see anything special on their html code and I am wondering how do they did it. Regards, Bogdan

                    Accuracy of search volume for keyword planner v old keyword tool?

                    Hi there, I'm (logged into Google Adwords)  and researching search volume for keywords but I'm seeing weird results. I know that the term "outage notification" had between 1000 and 5000 monthly global searches when I last looked (I know this because I add a search volume tag to the keywords I track ranking of via Moz).  Yet, now when I check global search volume via keyword planner I'm seeing only 70 global searches per month (AND low competition which I know is not true).  Is this perhaps because only the exact match is reported or is something else going on? Very frustrated as I have now lost faith in the keyword research process via Google keyword planner....not sure where to go from here!! Thanks very much

                    Keyword Moderator List

                    Hi Moz Community, I'm wondering if anyone has a comprehensive list of keyword moderators that they could share? For example: online
                    buy [keyword] online
                    cheap
                    cheapest
                    best
                    top
                    free
                    [country name]
                    [area name]
                    store
                    shop
                    purchase etc... I always find that it's useful to run [keyword + moderator] for search volumes as it sometimes uncovers some exact match surprises that you may not have thought of. Thanks everyone! Gavin

                    Help finding some decent keywords

                    Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak   
                    fishing from a kayak
                    fishing kayak review
                    fishing kayaks   
                    kayak and fishing
                    kayak fishing   
                    kayak for fishing   
                    kayak reviews   
                    kayak rigging
                    kayak weight limit   
                    kayaks fishing   
                    kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!
