I have tried numerous keyword research tools like the free Google Keyword Tool , WordTracker, Micro Niche Finder and Market Samurai. Each of them have their own strengths when it comes to keyword research. Today, I discovered another tool called WordStream Keyword Management for SEO.

Yet to give it a run but from the features page, it looks pretty promising. I practically like the part where it can perform keyword analytics and connect with your Google Analytics account for some personalised research.

I will probably sign up for the free trial and if I like it, I might just use it as part of my tools as well.

Check out WordStream here.

I love to hear feedback and comments from users at most of my blogs. Though I am flooded with spam comments in the bucket loads daily, getting real genuine comments just make you feel that there is someone after all reading your blogs.

So what can you do to get more people commenting on the blog?

I stumbled into this article by Alisa Bowman in a guest blog at Search Engine Marketing Group today and thought the tips she provided is worth trying out.

One of the technique that I found useful are ways to reward the readers when they leave comments on the blog. It can be a direct reward of giving away something of value to the readers  or sometimes pure recognition helps too.

For me, my usual technique revolves around solving problems which natually create more curiosity or more questions for further details when I provide a high level solution on the blogs. That sort of indicates to me if anybody out there has an interest of some of the solutions I provide. Once I know at least 1 person is reading or commenting on the blog, I will continue to add in more content to the page via the comment areas.

So what’s your tactic in getting more comments on your blog?
