Wordtracker launched a free keyword suggestion tool to help you find quality keywords. I have written a few posts about keywords with high KEI using a few tools like this. If your interested in playing with it you can find it here.

Here are some interesting keyword terms that I found in my research today. The below terms all have very high KEI. KEI is a formula for weighing supply versus demand with bigger numbers suggesting niches. In a nutshell: The higher the KEI, the more popular the keywords are, and the less competition they have. Which means you have a better chance of getting to the top. For example a KEI value of 100 is considered to be a good keyword phrase. But a KEI value of 400 is considered to be excellent.

This keyword phase is interesting. I found this one a few weeks ago. I emailed Joel Carcone in North Vancouver about it. I suggested that he should write about this phrase in his blog. Now, if you Google “buy new homes north vancouver” you will see his blog post come up number 1, his website’s sitemap come up number 2, and a link from realestatevoices.com where I posted his article. Here is a screenshot of the Google results:

I wrote a few weeks ago about a single keyword phrase that had a very high search rate, but very few websites competing for that term. The term was “realestate agent in memphis tenn” and now if you Google that term, you will see that my blog is number 1 and 2 and my Squdioo lens is number 4.
I have done some more research and found some interesting keyword phrases that are highly searched, but not highly competitive for getting your website to be found under those terms. Here are some examples:

Want to see an example of a popular keyword phrase that almost all Realtors want to be found under but that is not worth worrying about? Everyone wants to be found under “your city real estate”. Here is an example of why it is better to concentrate your efforts on the low hanging fruit rather than the highly competitive terms:
“vancouver real estate”
There were approximately 62 searches of this particular keyword phrase in Google within the last 24 hours.
There are approximately 263000 websites targeting this term!
There were approximately 464 searches of this particular keyword phrase in Google within the last 24 hours.
There are approximately 32 websites targeting this term.
That’s a lot of people looking for real estate agents in Memphis but not many websites jockeying for that term.
