When determining what to write I used tools for finding the best keywords, which in the process also helps when it comes to buying keyword domains.  Before buying a domain, it is important to pick out the best keywords for your niche, and what better way than to use a tool to determine which keywords are the most highly searched.

Why You Should Use Keyword Tools

Keyword tools point out approximately how often a keyword is searched, and even good variations and synonyms of that keyword.  If you are targeting remote controls, you’d rather own a domain like “remotecontrols.com” than “jimbosremotes.com”.

I often use keywords to determine which posts I write for the day. I’d rather write about something that is highly searched, than something random that isn’t going to get me any google traffic.
