SEO Websites

Wordtracker keywords
Wordtracker was established by Andy Mindel and Mike Mindel in 1997 to answer a fundamental question in the search engine industry:

"What are people searching for on the Web?"

Wordtracker helps website owners and search engine marketers identify keywords and phrases that are relevant to their or their client's business and most likely to be used as queries by search engine visitors.

Marketers can also determine how many competing sites are using those keywords and can identify the phrases that have the greatest traffic potential.

For some context on this post, I think it is important to note the distinction in intent for most search engine optimization efforts: SEO for publishers, blog networks and affiliates is a different thing than SEO for lead generation and on-site transactions/sales.
