Free Keyword Tools
I have always been efficient, some would say cheap, but I enjoy finding items with high value. Many times the highest value items are actually, yes, free.
In working on ways to optimize campaigns for clients, I like to look through as many resources as possible and that includes find good information without having to needlessly waste a client’s money. Whether a business owner, decision maker, or fellow manager, I am sure many can appreciate that outlook.
In fulfilling that philosophy with some actionable information, here are some good keyword tools that I have found that give great information for analyzing what content is best used in marketing products. Each provides information in a different format which can prove to be very useful. If you have not already used these, then enjoy!

Might I also humbly recommend my long-tail keyword explorer, which is free and a great way to drill down on specific keywords for long tail results.
