I am all new to Hubpages, SEO and keywords stuff. Many of the hubbers here referred to the Google Keywords Tool to find great keywords but when I searched for that in Google, it turned out that it turned out to be updated into part of Google Adwords, which I am not using. So, could there be by any chance be an alternative to that tool which I can use easily and maybe even free.
Thanks!
Google keyword tool is now keywords planner, it's free too. Just sign into your adwords account to use it. I've written a step by step tutorial on how to use it with print screen images of each step.

I hope you find it useful.
I have a hard time with the keyword planner from Google, so I started using the free keyword tool at Wordtracker.
There is no good alternative to the Google Keyword Planner. All of the paid services are hopelessly outdated since they were set up to extract data from the old Google Keywords Tool. Access has changed and you now must sign up for an AdWords account to use it. Signup is free and you don't have to actually buy ads. Sign up here using your Google account and you will find the Keyword Planner from the pull down menu on 'Tools and Analysis' on the top menu:

I find Jaaxy(dot)com very useful as well as Google autosuggest and tools that tap into it such as Ubersuggest(dot)org and suggester(dot)promediacorp(dot)com/
Hi All,

On the tutorial article, I've mentioned to ignore the CPC [cost per click] part of the keyword planner for Squidoo lenses but you will find that one useful for HP/Other sites/blogs that earn from adsense/ad programs.
Google's adword keyword tool is a little harder to find now but it is still functional.
You can also use the drop down menu in google search to get keyword suggestions. These suggestions are based on recent trends and often more useful than the historically orientated adwords tool
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I was mistaken before that I should buy ads package to access the Keyword Planner.
Of course, Google is the best!
You have two options, use adwords or find a different tool such as wordtracker (which is paid service however).
But really, nothing ascary about using it as a part of adwords

What are your strategies for finding good keywords for articles, and what factors do you associate with a good keyword or keyword phrase?

I think my last try was over a year ago. I honestly have never had success with it EVER, even with third party tools, bar ONE title about three years back. If you're freaked out by it, don't stress. You don't HAVE to do keyword research to get good traffic. Personally my two go-tos right now are:1....

Can someone explain to me in plain English what competition means with regard to us?It says there that it gives an indication of how many advertisers are bidding for a keyword. But what does that mean?I always thought high competition meant that too many webpages are after the same keyword, but now...

Did I get lucky or what? The only problem is that there is not much traffic. I spent a lot of time with Adwords Keyword tool, and I bought an SEO book by Michael Miller and asked a lot of questions in the forum. Thanks for all your help. Any comments?
