How important is it to have all these tools and software for IM?

Can somebody recommend some free tools to search keyword statistics? besides that overture tool and the seobook.com keyword search tool

Also What numbers should I be looking for to see if a particular keyword or niche will be profitable?

I downloaded that software above and seems it could work, I see categories such as:

Google searches, Google Results, Google Ads, Google Results/Searches (?).

I should look for keywords with high searches and low google results correct?

What about all that KEI and R/S, I've read articles on them that it's all over the place and too many variable and aren't concrete numbers.

What are the important numbers I should be looking for?

Thanks for everybodys help.
 
Y'know... when it comes right down to it, there is no one single best anything. If everyone liked the same thing, there'd only be one.

Tell ya what, why don't you pick out a couple niches you think you might like to work in. Then pick out one keyword tool. Any keyword tool, free or paid, just pick one.

Make a keyword list and look for what gets searched for a lot and what the SERPs look like. Then, look at some of the top listed sites. See what they're doing and decide if you can compete. If you can, jump in. If you can't, pick another word, term or niche.

Make your site and see what happens. If it works, rinse and repeat. If it doesn't quit it and move on. That's how I do it and, I'd wager, a lot of others here do too.

In some niches 10,000,000 results is not much competition because the listed sites are so fucked anyones grandma could make a site that can float to the top. In other niches 1 or 2 results is too much competition.

We've been on this topic for a couple days now and I don't believe you're any closer to a decision than when the thread began. It's time to shit or get off the pot.
 
seriously if you plan on being in the this business get a keyword tool subscription. It's well worth it. Just makes life easier. Sure you can spend a bunch of time writing one or try an use the free ones but usually you're going to be hindered if you need large effective lists. For example I was throwing together a campaign today on PPC and wanted a keyword list so I went to my service I use and pulled 8500 very good words in only a minute. Now keep in mind I'm the guy that says write your own apps.... this is very true however when it comes to data collection and management I think paid keyword tools are the way to go. Not saying don't collect your own data but keyword tools are a great place to start.
 
I have keyword elite to create keywords, but it doesn't seem to work well with statistics, on how many searches a keyword is getting, search engine listings, r/s, kei, etc.. I always get, "n/a", I guess I'll just try every program out there for a week or 2 and if I dont' like it just get a refund. I've been thinking of wordze.com. Hell like I said just try all of them and find the program I like.

Make a keyword list and look for what gets searched for a lot and what the SERPs look like. Then, look at some of the top listed sites. See what they're doing and decide if you can compete. If you can, jump in. If you can't, pick another word, term or niche.
I made a note to work on that tomorrow, I'll see what the competitors are doing based on those keyword stats and see if I can compete.

I suppose if it was that simple to get the required concrete keyword research beforehand, then everybody would be making money. I should be able to have a program that I can type in: "I want this software to find a keyword that gets a 1,000,000 search a month", " with 0 competitors".
