What is the best free keyword research tool?
Personally, I love Ahref’s Keyword Generator, you can try it for free anytime and there are no limits. You just need to verify that you are a human and not a spamming bot. Though it does not show the whole keywords list in it’s free tier, still you can get the most out of it.
How do I choose keywords?
Take it seriously! Do not choose highly competitive keywords if you are a beginner. See the keywords that your competitors are using in the same niche. Create a list of keywords using the above free keyword research tools. Now narrow down the keywords that are easy and have low difficulty. Finally, choose one after deep research and use it in your post.
What are good SEO keywords?
The keywords that have a low difficulty, moderate search volume and consist of 3 or 4 words are considered to be good keywords from SEO point of view.
How do I do keyword research for free?
The good news is, all the above keyword research tools generate keywords for free. I’d not recommend you to upgrade if you’re on budget. You’ll still get hundreds of keywords to choose from.
How do you find keywords?
Pretend yourself looking for something online. Focus on a single word— for instance, I am looking for “digital watches”. Use it to find more relevant and targeted keywords. In the next step, you need to be more specific targeting only men’s digital watches. The keyword will be “digital watches for men”. You can use the brand name as well in a certain keyword like for example, “casio digital watches for men”. That’s how you find and choose good keywords.

I am so glad to see this list, because the keyword tool that I use I think is an a good one. I noticed recently that it was showing me results for keywords that couldn’t possibly be ranking as high as it says they are, because they were specifically for Christmas, and Christmas is now over. People aren’t still searching for it. But it shows that the keywords are in high demand right now. And I’ve been looking for a different key word tools to use but haven’t had time to really research them. So this is very helpful for me, thank you.
