Inventory.Overture.com Is Long Gone |
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I often go to sites like 103 Bees and HitTail to figure out what the heck people are searching for, and how they got to my blog. One of the most searched keywords in my list happens to be http://inventory.overture.com, a site that used to give you a pretty good rule of thumb when it came to keywords.
But stop looking at that folks! It’s either totally dead or it just won’t give you updated information. The last time the list of keywords was updated was in January 2007, and you don’t want to base your SEO on outdated search stats.
Here are a few places you can go, if you want some great keywords:
Aaron Wall’s SEO Book: http://SEOBook.com
I totally like this one. Aaron Wall is a respected SEO, and his tool is pretty comprehensive. You get stats from the big three (Google, Yahoo, and MSN), but a whole lot more, like links to Google Trends, Google Keyword Selection Tool, Quintura, and more. Pretty cool.
WordTracker’s Free Tool: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com
This is a pretty basic search, and if you loved Overture, you’ll like this one, just as well. It’s a bare bones keyword search.
Good Keywords: http://goodkeywords.com
This is a bit of free software you can download. Good Keywords is a great way to get suggestions and it combines words to give you long-tail phrase ideas, as well.
Those are three good suggestions for you to replace Overture. If SEOBook’s keyword discovery tool is too complicated for you, try one of the other options. I’m sure you’ll find that one works quite nicely for you.
