It\u2019s great for bulk keyword analysis and finding long tail keyword phrases. I believe it costs $149, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/sweet\/samuraidiscount\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">through my affiliate link it\u2019s $97<\/a>. You can use the discount with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/sweet\/samuraifreetrial\" rel=\"nofollow\">free trial<\/a> and see if it\u2019s a good fit for you.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/sweet\/longtailpro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Long Tail Pro<\/a> \u2013 Basically the same as Market Samurai but with a keyword competition score. The number is a little arbitrary, but it gives you a ballpark figure on how competitive the keywords are. You\u2019ll need the platinum package for this. I believe I paid close to $300 for this. I\u2019ll leave a link in the notes.\n<ol>\n<li>Note: Long Tail Platinum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/sweet\/longtailpro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">is now $37\/month<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/keywordtool.io\/\" target=\"_blank\">KeywordTool.io<\/a> works great for finding a massive list of relevant long tail keyword phrases that you would have never thought of. You can copy the whole list and then throw it into Market Samurai and BOOM.<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least &#8211; Google search. There are 2 things you can do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>1. Google related keyword suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Scroll down to the bottom of the page and Google will give you some related keywords.<\/p>\n<p>Also, pay attention to bolded words in the Meta descriptions. You\u2019ll notice that Google bolds synonyms. These are called LSIs which stands for Latent Semantic Index.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Google search operators.<\/h2>\n<p>The second is by using a search operator like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Inurl:forum \u201ckeywords\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This will search google for URLS with the word forum in it. Keywords within quotation marks will look for exact match keyword phrases.<\/p>\n<p>This one is powerful because it gives you a better understanding of the language REAL people use. Look for commonalities in language and integrate it into your content.<\/p>\n<p>Now remember, above all else, you are writing for\u2026<\/p>\n<p>People.<\/p>\n<p>Robots aren\u2019t going to buy from you. Search engines won\u2019t buy from you. Write for your audience.<\/p>\n<h2>Question of the day<\/h2>\n<p>Which keyword research tool and\/or strategy will you be trying?<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ff9; clear: both; margin-bottom: 18px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #e5e597; padding: 10px; margin-top: 18px; text-align: center;\">You can either be a lurker or a contributor.
