Rand Fishkin says, “If you know me, you know I’m hyper-critical of the software, data, and products Moz releases. My usual response to someone asking about our tools vs. others used to be to give a rundown of the things I like about the competition and why they’re great, then look down at ground, shuffle my feet in embarrassment, and say “and Moz also has a good tool for that.” But Keyword Explorer (and the progress Moz Pro & Local have made this year) brings out a different behavior in me.

Sam Nemzer says, “As of June this year, Google is now grouping keyword volumes for similar keywords in Keyword Planner.

That being said, the truth is that keyword data... [...]

There’s a lot of information about what people want to buy, based on what they search for, if you can uncover it. Sometimes people search for general information; sometimes, for products they want to purchase. When they search, they may search for a variety of terms that have equivalent or closely related meanings. Person A may seardh for sneakers; Person B may search for Tennis Shoes and they may mean the same thing when they do it. Google has a phrase “Latent Semantic Indexing”, which refers to these alternate terms that people may find helpful in their searches, even if they... [...]
