Probably the most important keyword tool available is the Google Adwords Keyword tool  This baby will show you just about everything you need, from search volume to  advertiser competition and cost-per-click.

If you already read the Wordtracker quick guide then continue on with this guide, if not, go and read it as these two tools work together.

Once you have a keyword, or keyword phrase you’d like to use from Wordtracker, go to the Google Adwords Keyword tool and type it in.  Answer the security question and click the ‘Get keyword ideas’ button.

Once the results come up, enable the CPC column buy clicking the drop down list where it says ‘Choose columns to display’.   As you can see, there’s tons of information here.  What we’re looking for is a keyword with good traffic, and one that pays well.  Hopefully it’ll be the same keyword.  Explore different keywords by sorting by highest CPC, as well as traffic.  Try to avoid one word keywords as they are already taken by the ‘big boys’

Once again, use this in combination with the Wordtracker tool and Google search, which I’ll cover next.  The idea here is to find a good, eHow title friendly, well paying keyword that we can easily get onto page one of Google search.
