This is the act of finding profitable words search engine users are typing into the search engines to find products and services. If you ever hope to make money online, you must become proficient at finding these money making words. Fortunately, there are free tools that you can use online.

A beginning Internet Marketer can save their self quite a bit of money by using one of the many free keyword tools available to them. Some of the paid versions can cost you fifty bucks or month or more. Others have a one time fee of several hundred dollars. Lucky for us frugal marketers, the free versions are good choices for finding those money making niches.

So go get these five keyword tools to help you get started grabbing those long tailed keywords that will make you money.

I use Google’s Keyword Research tool to not only find those high converting keywords, but to also see how much competition there is for each keyword and to see what the competition is paying for each click on Google Adwords. This helps me decide whether or not the keyword will be valuable if I put Google Adsense on my site.

SEO Book has a great keyword research tool that I use. In fact, out of these 5 tools, it’s probably the best out there. This tool will show you many variables on each keyword. For example, it will show you the estimated clicks per day from all the major search engines, the Compete Rank, Google Trends and many more. You can really drill down to find those profitable keywords with this tool.

The next keyword tool has been around a long time. It’s been a favorite of many marketers. A lot of them go on to buy the full version, but for the beginner, the free version is powerful enough. It’s called WordTracker. WordTracker’s free version allows users to sort and drill down through long tail keywords in order to find ones that will be profitable.

Good Keywords is a free program you can download to your desktop or laptop. One feature I really love about this program is its ability to find misspellings. Misspellings can really make you a lot of money. For example, many people go to a search engine and type in ‘low fat deserts’ instead of low fat desserts. Misspellings have been used by smart Internet Marketers to make loads of money over the years.

If you really want to expand your keyword base, then WordPot is a free keyword tool you should give a try. This tool has many features, including the ability to find synonyms and other related keywords.
