I agree with Jonathan. You did a good job summarizing the essential points here. Very helpful tips especially for beginners – as well as for experienced marketers who think they know it all

No, DigitalPoint.com just REQUIRES you to fill in the “I’m not a robot” numbers and letters. It has more capacity than just keyword phrases if you want to use them. They also accept donations.

Thanks Scot (with only one “T”), for the great writeup. I’ve known about these types of techniques for some time, but you did a great job of summarizing it all and making it quite user-friendly.

Hey Ann,
Doesn’t Digitalpoint’s tool require a Google API key?

The chart done by ‘the hippie’ threw together- the ‘free’ WordTracker tool has much fewer alternatives than Overture for any keyword phrases. DigitalPoint.com (a free site) lays the 2 side-by-side and you can really appreciate the limit to WordTracker unless you want to pay the subscription rate. I was just commenting on that tool, not Google’s. Sorry for the confusion.
As for Google Trends, where on My Account is it listed, as opposed to bookmarking the specific page?

Hey Ann,
I use both Overture and Wordtracker. This post has no affiliate links included in it, I’m not sure if the link I provided uses that in his Iframe source– either way it doesn’t matter. You can try the experiment with Overture and you will get very similar results.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about Digital Point? You can visit Google Trends by simply going to http://www.google.com/trends, as pointed out in my post.

Good luck!

I visited all your links. I had a script error on the 30-day challenge so I didn’t go further. The comparison chart-too bad it used wordtracker (probably an affiliate link) instead of Overture data. Would have saved time not having to go to DigitalPoint. Oh, well…
The article is very informative. Where in all the Google ’stuff’ do you find the trends without going through your website?

That tip was very eye opening for me when I saw on the 30 day challenge but I’m still quite new to internet marketing.
