One of the toughest decisions that internet marketers must make when when writing articles and website content is what keywords they should optimize the site for. This is not a simple question to answer. When you are trying to get a high search engine ranking for a specific keyword, your keyword relevance is critical. This article discusses some free keyword marketing research tolls to make this task simpler.

The first step in choosing the right keywords is to brainstorm. Most of the time this can be done in a few minutes.

If you choose keywords that millions of others are using to promote their websites, your chances of getting a high page ranking are slim to none.

What you need are the keywords with least supply from other websites and high demand from search engine users.
