The best keyword selector tool is the one that works for you personally. If you’re happy with a free one which gives you basic information when you type in your chosen keyword then that’s fine but if you want more, then you might have to pay for it.

My favourite keyword selector tool is Keyword Elite. Why? Because it does so much more than just select keywords.

It’s true that it does have a keyword selector tool which offers the option to use the KE engine and four other sources and you can choose how many results to return per source. You then get a huge list of long tail keywords which you can then show in quotes, brackets or both. You can delete the ones you don’t want and select the ones you do for further action.

You can then use the keyword selector tool to send the keywords to five other elements of Keyword Elite.

Firstly, there’s Market Research Sleuth where you currently get to analyse the Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines. You can use this for analysing competition in Adwords but that’s another story so we’ll just concentrate on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) here. You can show the number of searches by Broad, Phrase or Exact and for each keyword you can see the number of competing pages, results to searches ratio (the lower the better) and Keyword Effective Index (the higher the better). All this can help you choose whether to pursue a keyword or not. You also get to see the top ten results on your chosen search engine by keyword with title, description and so on.

Secondly, there’s Search Engine Dominator where once again you have the choice of search engines and this tool shows, the number of monthly searches, competing pages for each keyword, the number of estimated monthly clicks for a top ranking site, as well as calculating the competition strength and giving the ability to download the Microsoft Online Commercial Intent (OCI). OCI is an indicator of the likelihood of the searcher wanting to buy something.

On top of that, if you select one of your chosen keywords, this keyword selector tool will show you the top ten pages on your chosen search engine along with page rank, number of backlinks, keyword density and all sorts of other data about each page.

Thirdly, you can select one keyword and send it to Adwords Time Machine which is most useful when using Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. Basically it shows you advertisers and urls which bid on your search term in Adwords for a six month period

Then there’s Advanced Google Site Targeting which enables you to find websites where you can target your Adwords advertisements to appear.

Lastly you can send your keywords to JV Diamond Miner which lets you find possible joint venture partners who will promote your products for you.

You can run Google ABC and Yahoo ABC which takes your keyphrase and finds longer phrases which contain it.

Lastly you can use this keyword selector tool to create content pages by inserting your AdSense details and the tool will take your keyword and find articles related to it then create web pages which you can upload to your server.

What other keyword selector tool gives you all this?
