  8. Google Adwords Keyword Tool is a free tool that provides insight into search performance and seasonal trends on keywords and keyword phrases. Think of it as your very own niche software…and best of all, it’s free!

    Impressive list of excellent tools. Google’s Zeitgeist is really amazing. I found out I was missing valuable trends. Being on a niche market, I have to find valuable keywords but to avoid the biggest trends, where competition is too strong. This tool is a must have to refine an internet marketing strategy.
