In previous posts, I have metioned the Google Keyword Tool a few times and how this is a free keyword tool service that you can use to research keywords / phrases in your marketplace. Well, Google have given it a new look. The old tool is still available via the link ‘Previous Interface’ in the right hand corner while it is gradually phased out in favour of the new Google Keyword Tool. You can see the difference between the two looks below.

One of the most important elements of getting targeted visitor traffic to your website is keywords research. Without it, you will be losing traffic to your competitors and wasting the earning potential of your business website.
