Have you tried Wordtracker? It’s expensive, but I think much more useful. This is a good comparison of Overture and Wordtracker:

Phil ~ I just sent you an email. I think expanding on this topic would help quite a few people who just aren’t getting the tagging, keywords aspect of blogging

Ensuring keywords are in your page titles (ie the element), permalinks and important headers (<h1> and <h2>) on the page certainly works for targetted traffic to specific posts. I get over half my visits from Google (hardly see other search engines though!) so it must be working somewhat.</p> <p>Do you think expanding on what I’m saying here in a post would help?</p> </article> <article> <h1>By: Gayla</h1> <p>Gayla — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:29:14 +0000</p> <p><b>Yvonne</b> ~ Thanks! I was surprised I won too. As for which site? I’m not sure yet. There are a couple I could use a face lift on — but it won’t be MomGadget. Too much blood, sweat and tears have gone into this one over the last few months to throw it all down the drain. It’s the OCD thing I’ve got going on.</p> <p><b>Michelle</b> ~ I wondered where you got Scribbit from. I thought maybe it had something to do with kids and toads. Guess it’s that mom thing I’ve got going on lol — I do like it though. It is surprisingly easy to remember.</p> <p><b>Phil</b> ~ How has that method of SEO worked for you?</p> <p><b>Randa</b> ~ Thanks! I’m a little disappointed to find that Overture is taking a nose dive. I heard they are doing away with it. I’d sure like to find a site that’s similar to Overture Keywords Tool. I’ve used that little puppy a LOT over the years.</p> </article> <article> <h1>By: Randa Clay</h1> <p>Randa Clay — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 14:56:18 +0000</p> <p>Lots of good tips here Gayla- nice post.</p> </article> <article> <h1>By: Phil</h1> <p>Phil — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 06:23:18 +0000</p> <p>As you can probably tell, I made no efforts with keywords in my blog’s name!</p> <p>I wanted something memorable (though it still may be a bit long for that) and interesting. When it comes down to SEO, I’ll let my title tags, pretty permalinks and use of header elements to drive the traffic.</p> </article> <article> <h1>By: Michelle</h1> <p>Michelle — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:53:15 +0000</p> <p>Since you asked . . .</p> <p>I went with Scribbit because I wanted a unique name, one that sounded fun and simple and different. I didn’t want anything relative to moms or motherhood because there are so many and they’re so hard to remember. I liked Scribbit because it reminded me of scribbling, scribes, Scrabble–writing. That’s more my focus than my motherhood.</p> <p>Plus, I think that if you don’t host your own domain (I’m with blogspot) a unique name makes it easier for people to find you. If you type in scribbit or scrabbit or scribit or scribet or any other variety on the name I’m the whole page of results. So it works for me.</p> </article> <article> <h1>By: Yvonne Russell</h1> <p>Yvonne Russell — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 00:07:20 +0000</p> <p>Hi Gayla</p> <p>This is useful information, thanks.</p> <p>Congratulations on winning the site makeover at emoms. I can’t wait to see the redesign. Will you be doing it for this site, or one of your others?</p> <p>All the best</p> <p>Yvonne<br /> Grow Your Writing Business</p> </article> </main></body></html>
