Featured Friday: Spacky (Free Keyword Research Tool)

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Have you ever needed to do keyword research but couldn’t find a good, free tool?

I’ve tried several free research tools. If you have a Google AdWords account, you can use their Keyword Tool. There are a couple more tools that I have used together to get a clearer results picture than I could get using just one, but, frankly, that is a pain.

That is why I was so happy when I heard about and tried Spacky.com. No longer do you have to guess what targeted keywords you should be using. And you don’t have to pay for that information, either. Spacky gives you monthly keyword search volume for Overture, Google, and MSN. Sorry, but apparently Spacky is no longer in existence.

For example, I want to rank on the first page of a Google search for specific keywords, but I was just guessing at what people might be searching for. Once I found Spacky.com, I discovered that people are search for blog design more than for blog designs, for blogspot design more than blogger designs, and for blog designer more than blog designers.  That’s valuable information for me because I would have picked the lesser-searched keywords as the more popular.

If you need to do keyword research, give Spacky.com a try.  You just might find valuable insight of your own. Sorry, but apparently Spacky is no longer in existence.

A Bad Day

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I guess we can’t make everyone happy, no matter how hard we try.

Luke 6:28 “Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.”

So I’m praying.
