New (free) tool offers valuable insight into your market

In my opinion if your are not using this tool who are missing a very important tool in your SEO ressearch.

Just in case you haven’t heard, Wordtracker has released a new tool where you input keywords, and then it gives you questions that have been collected through their search partners over the past 140 days.

As a for instance, you can search for “business” and get results like:

1 how to write a business plan 371
2 how can i get money to start my own business 304
3 how to start a cell phone business 286
4 how to create an online business 254
5 how to start a business 137
6 where can i get money to open a business 118
7 how to start a business with no money 118
8 where do i get money to start a business 114
9 what is a good business to start 113
10 what is the best business opportunity 113

And so on. To me, the importance of this is two-fold. First, “question keyword phrases” are excellent keyword phrases to target, as it’s generally pretty clear what the searcher is looking for, making it easier to enter into the conversation that they’re already having in their mind (and sell them things).

SEO Lies report a lie, itself? Distorts the truth, at best

Not sure if you guys have seen this yet or not - SEO Lies Report - Oh, and yes, that’s a “clean” URL - you’ll see why it’s not an affiliate link in just a second. :)

Anyway, Jason Moffatt mentioned it, so I decided I’d take a look.  For $1, it wasn’t like I had a whole lot to lose. I skipped the up-sell (apparently there’s a backend - guess I’ll have the pleasure of getting that in my inbox at some point) and just stuck to the report.

I suppose I shouldn’t feel too bad - I mean it’s only a $1, but I felt that he oversimplified some things, and was a bit misleading in others.
