I'm thinking about getting Long Tail Pro. I'd like to know what other people use. I kind of wish I could find something that was a one time fee and not recurring. What do you use to do keyword research?
 
Ahrefs, KwFinder, and SEMrush

Then, Let me check through manual process too.
 
I used to use Jaxxy - it's pretty damn smart but the subscription is pricey.
 
Ahrefs, manual list I created using notepad++, SEMRush, keyword shitter, KWFinder (although not really anymore) and my new favourite tool: twin words ideas. Of course everything requires a manual check after.

If anyone is obsessed with KWfinder scores then you can calculate it manually and save yourself the crazy amount they charge per month. Using the KWFinder comp. Score calculation from this guide.
  • Install mozbar
  • Search for keyword
  • Download results in CSV
  • Plug the PA/DA numbers into a formula you can make with Excel/Sheets average all the results.
  • You now have a KWFINDER comp score.
That way you can use a cheaper research tool and create the score yourself. For example I pay $19 for twin words.
 
The best I've ever used is keysearch.co I use it almost every day and it's worth every penny I paid! Couldn't live without it. They recently updated it with an "Explorer" addon, it's fantastic and so useful!
 
I was using Semrush before but now I'm using Ahrefs. It is so good to dig deep and find good keyword and has so many feature to use.

If you using it for a while then maybe you will have your own techniques to find keyword that fit your criteria.

For their KD tools (keyword difficulty), I just use it as consideration. Better to check serp manually and see what kind of site filled page one.

Drawback for me is their price is quite expensive. Sure you still can use it cheaply with "unethical ways".

Watch several videos about how to do keyword reserach using Ahrefs and find your own technique after exploring it's feature.
 
Yeap I support G Keyword Planner as well - it can provide you with historic search data, and since they are already the largest SE, that should represent a large bulk of searched keywords as a whole.
However, I think they should add back the exact search traffic per month, and not displaying in-between data like 1k-10k, which I find it hard to gauge traffic.
 
Anyone knows a keyword tool that you can insert bulk keywords and it will return related keywords for all of them at once in an organized way?

The only one I know of is keyword shitter but I really dont like the way they display the results.

how to make Google keyword planner show search volume for keywords?
 
Ahrefs is amazing but for a start up website or low revenue, I wouldn't prefer it because of the pricing, you might check kwfinder if you are new.
 
The Only 6 Keyword Research Tools You Need to Use

1. Google AdWords
2. Google Analytics
3. Google Trends
4. Moz Keyword Explorer
5. SEMrush
6. WordStream
 
I used many tools, from vertical (Long Tail Pro, Keyword.io, etc) to spy (Semrush, Ahrefs, etc).

But at the time I have much more results doing the job by myself through keyword planner and checking the suggested keyword by my searches directly in Google. I think those are more semantic related to my topic than some keywords extracted by some tools
