Very similar to our process, though I like to mix in a few more tools for some non-Google volume numbers and opinions. In KeywordDiscovery I find the “historical database” better than the Global Premium unless you are researching very generic keywords.

Ever use KeywordSpy? I find it rather helpful when used with other tools as well.

It’s not perfect, but it’s about the best we have. Wordtracker and KD are just not worth the price anymore unless you do it all the time. Even then I doubt it is worth the cost.

There are a couple “keyword combination” web pages that are extremely helpful. We use that method constantly and it works great, mostly for AdWords.

Aaron’s SEO Book keyword tool is great because it is basically a great aggregate tool of the others that may be worth checking (like Quintura for LSI)

This is the process we use…

1. Brainstorm with a few people and a whiteboard.
2. Use SEO Book to look for extra ideas you may have missed.
3. Use Google Keyword tool to put some general numbers to it (for seo) or use keyword combinations to create more phrases (for PPC).
4. Use excel to “weight” some phrases more or less due to how good they are for this particular website (for seo).

That’s it. Assign keyword phrases to pages and start optimizing.

I saw a post that mentioned they might be doing some email spamming or something. I don’t like that, but I don’t know about that first-hand either. I do like their product though.
