I guess I have finally become a “legitimate blog” in the eyes of the tech community.  Why do I say that?  I am now getting press releases about new software and tools.

Check out this release from WordStream. They are launching a new  SEO Toolset with Advanced Keyword Research and Content Optimization Features

While not for the average small business owner, this new search engine optimization software provides marketers, bloggers and website owners with host of keyword discovery and content authoring tools.  If you are investing in PPC this tool may give you valuable input as you select individual and groups of key words.

BOSTON – April 20, 2010 – WordStream, Inc., a provider of keyword tools for pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, announced today that it has released a suite of custom keyword research, keyword analytics and content optimization tools called “WordStream for SEO.”

WordStream for SEO is an advanced keyword research toolset that many are calling “keyword research on steroids.” The new software suite provides the same keyword analysis and keyword suggestion capabilities that SEO tools like Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery provide, but it moves light years ahead by layering in high-level keyword analytics, keyword grouping and organization features as well as integrated content authoring tools, all for the same price as other traditional keyword research tools (starting at $99/month).

“For the same money I was paying for Wordtracker’s keyword search tool, I get all the same functionality I had with Wordtracker, with a deeper keyword database, keyword analytics, and really powerful keyword organization tools layered on top,” says WordStream customer Kwessi Annor. “So making the switch from Wordtracker to WordStream was a no-brainer.”

Rather than presenting a static list of keyword suggestions along with a handful of related keywords, WordStream for SEO provides users with:

  • Traditional Keyword Research: WordStream for SEO generates keyword suggestions that are pulled from a deep database of search engine queries
  • Personalized Keyword Suggestions: WordStream for SEO goes further than traditional keyword generator tools by mining site data to discover relevant keyword opportunities that people are already using to find the site
  • Keyword Analytics: Instead of vague estimates based on popularity, WordStream provides accurate visit and goal data for keywords from the site on a continuous basis
  • Keyword Organization: WordStream for SEO has sophisticated grouping and organization capabilities, which let users segment keyword lists and uncover content opportunities, analyze data in strategic clusters and create a SEO-friendly information architecture
  • Content Authoring: The Blog SEO Tool within WordStream for SEO connects keyword research with content creation efforts to help generate better, more focused, search engine ready blog posts, product pages and sales copy

Part of the WordStream for SEO toolset, Blog SEO, is a Firefox plugin that works alongside content management platforms, such as WordPress, Blogger and Drupal. Blog SEO allows users to discover more specific keyword and copy ideas around general or more granular topics as they are writing. The Blog SEO plugin also keeps a running count of each keyword phrase as it is used, working to keep writers “on message” after the initial research stage.

“The Blog SEO plugin is the next step in the evolution of smarter SEO tools, and is a must for anyone who creates Web copy on a regular basis, be it a marketer, blogger, PR professional or social media marketer,” says Larry Kim, Founder and Vice President of Product Development at WordStream. “By integrating keyword research with content authoring, this tool helps make your copy more powerful, compelling and SEO-friendly, so it gets found by search engines and persuades more people to take action.”
