Has anyone used the Miva keyword generator before at https://account.uk.miva.com/advertiser/Account/Popups/KeywordGenBox.asp ? If so do you find the search counts reliable?

Sorry but Miva is cr*p. Is this keywords for SEO or Adwords?

The latest version of Google's Keyword tool gives you actual search volumes (numbers):

Another vote here for that Google tool.

The most useful one I have found is this:
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com

It is one of the best kept secrets out there!

The free version of Wordtracker is very good, considering its cost . It's provides pretty relevant information and can give you some great long tail keywords. Too bad you're only limited to 100...

The integrated AdWords keyword tool is also great, especially with the new features they have implemented with the past month that give you a better idea of keyword demands.

Those are honestly 2 of the main tools I use for my preliminary research. There really are numerous tools out there, but I've noticed that these 2 really provide the most relevant information for free tools.

Think the best keyword generator's your head.

Google tool is perfect for generating keywords and you can rely on this as its of google.

I have not heard of them. The best value I have found when it comes to building websites is with a company Sitebuid it. The have all the tools under one roof. You can build sites that look good but more importantly you will get a presence on the net. It is worth spending the time to build a site hat will make money/leads/traffic.

If you are looking for free options, I would use Wordtracker and the Google keyoword tool.

If you have money to spend on a keyword tool, you may want to look into Market Samurai. I have been using it and it provides a ton of information on keywords and competition. The best part is, they are constantly updating it and adding new features.

Google keywords tool and free wordtracker tool when used together are the best and they are free. If you want still more, you can use free keyword tool from seobook.com

I think there is no need for buying any so-called sophisticated keyword tool. All you need to know can be got for free with these tools.

Keywordfinder, Keyword Discovery tool, Wordtracker and Google are my favorites.

I never understood everyone's fascination with Keyword generators. It's much better if you determine your own keywords through analyzing analytics programs. You'll learn more about where your visitors are coming from if you're hands on.

Another bump for this great keyword tool. Not to mention it shows you the stats for the keywords in the most dominant search site there is.

I just wrote an article about the importance of keywords in article marketing.

There are a ton of free tools out there, and as far as suggestion tools go, the Google wheel and quintura are pretty nice. Sometimes it helps to see just the words and no numbers, especially for saving time.
