I’m posting today about a tool that I find invaluable for a few reasons. It is called Keywords Analyzer SEO Pro by Blue Infinity.

As anyone who’s ever done any amount of serious SEO knows, keyword research is a pain in the butt. Even with all of the free tools offered by the likes of Google and Overture, it’s still pretty hard sometimes to get at the information you really want. Information like how many times a keyword or phrase was searched in the last month, other related keywords, Google bids, etc. Keywords Analyzer SEO Pro makes all this a breeze.

Let’s say you have a site selling widgets so you want to optimize for that. Instead of just trying to dream up all the keyphrases involving widgets in your head and then researching each one for its possible value, all you have to do is enter “widgets” into Keywords Analyzer and it will generate tons of other keyphrases about widgets. And these aren’t just suggested ideas for keyphrases, these are actual keyphrases that are actually being searched and the number of times they’re being searched per month!

Another great use for Keywords Analyze is doing niche research. Just as in the widgets example above, the additional widget based keywords Keywords Analyzer churns up will uncover several possible widget niche markets.

Let’s say you enter “widgets” - a very broad term into Keywords Analyzer and it returns 100 other keyphrases involving widgets. You might see that one of these keyphrases is “handmade blue leather widgets” and it’s being searched for about 500 times per month…what a tight little niche you’ve just found!   Run on over to Blogger, set up your free blog about handmade blue leather widgets and slap in some AdSense and you’ve got a great start to successful little niche site!

I hate to write. That makes no sense, because I’m a blogger, right? Hell, I have 3 blogs! How can I hate to write? Well, I guess what I really mean is I hate to write, unless I’m doing fun writing. Blogging…that’s fun writing. It’s conversational, it’s off the cuff, it’s natural. The writing I hate is article writing.

You SEO folks out there know what I mean - those articles that aren’t fun to write because they have to sound “technical” and like you “know what you’re talking about.” Usually you’re only writing these articles to build inbound links from article directories, but you know someone’s going to read them at some point, so you can’t just slack off on the quality.

It’s even worse when you have to write articles on subjects you know absolutely nothing about, or may not even care about in the slightest. Instant Article Wizard to the rescue!

I was a little dubious about this thing at first. It’s made by a guy named Jonathan Leger who is an Internet Marketing guru that a lot of you are probably already familiar with. Until recently - cause I’m a little new to this side of making money online - I was not, but his recommended to me by a colleague I have a lot of respect and trust for. Long story short, I shelled out $67 for the Instant Article Wizard. It probably helped the sale that I actually had articles I needed to write and was dreading it.

I gotta say that I’m pretty impressed. You enter in a keyword related to the topic you need to write about and it automatically churns up a ton of already written sentences about that keyword. You go through them and take the ones you like and it strings them together. Then all you have to do is take the “final” copy it spits out and make a few minor changes here and there just to help the flow and make it sound more human.
