Finding that keyword search engine tool you want to use is easy if you know where to look. Keywords are very important and finding the right ones is crucial if you are looking to use article writing as your primary tool in search engine optimization. So to help you in your search for the best keyword tool, here is a short but important list to consider.

1. Market Samurai – When it came out almost a year and a half ago, it was just a keyword research tool, it has gone further, although its main focus is still keyword research. It is also worth mentioning the fact that all updates are free, you only have to pay once when you bought it and the data it gives is amazing and quite useful.

2. Word Tracker: It’s not free, but you do get a free 7-day trial period, so if you’re busy you can end up with a PILE of very useful data and not pay their hefty fee. Don’t download it until you’re ready to spend a lot of time using it!

3. seocentro – This is a great FREE tool that you use online. Give you quick facts. It gives you the number of competing pages and they are clickable in a *broken down* way. The site also has a nice rank checker.

4. Digital point range checker. With this one, you can (you don’t have to) insert a code snippet and you’re done. You can search ANY website and see where you stand with yahoo. This is quite important since Yahoo finally gave in and sold to Google. Like I said b4, very soon Google will own everything and it WILL be the big brother.

5. Keyword Density Checker – This is a free keyword density checker that you can add to your Google widgets. It gives you a lot of data. It really helps you achieve optimal keyword density for a set of key terms. It comes from SEO Chat.

6. Another Digital Points Tool – This utility can be used to check search engines (currently supported by Google, Yahoo and MSN) for search engine rankings and track those rankings historically, this is critical when marketing your ( s) website(s).
