We have been pulling the results from the Google External tool for well over a year now. You are correct that you can use free tools to do most of what Micro Niche Finder does. Micro Niche Finder simply makes it much much easier and puts all your research into one place.

We just released version 4.6 a couple of weeks ago. Here’s a link to a video that shows a demo of some of the features so you can evaluate for yourself:

A few days ago I also purchased micro niche finder. I where always using the keyword tool from google, which you can find in adwords. Everyday it took me a lot of time to find quality low competition keywords. So I was searching for a tool to automate this. I think right now micro niche finder is scraping the results of the google keyword tool. This data is more accurate than the wordtracker scraping versions I think. Because this is one of the first tools I am using everyday I decided to write an honest review. http://www.micro-niche-finder-review.org/micro-niche-finder-review/ read it here to see how good the lastest version works with the keyword tool results.

John that was a great reply! I enjoyed reading your suggestions. It is excellent food for thought.

# Consider researching “dialogue patterns.” Did you know that we often communicate differently when we speak to each other, than when we are writing an article or creating content. Some of the simplest, plain, every day (even boring little phrases) and words we use when we dialogue with each other, can open up amazing new possibilities for traffic. Pay attention when your customers are talking to you and consider exactly, the words they use to speak to you. Try using some of those words as single “root” words to explore search behavior.

***It’ll take you time to catch on to this tip because our brains our automatically attracted to the words we “think” sound important and we cannot see how some little acronym or boring sounding expression could ever help reveal anything. Don’t miss the boat.

# Have you ever thought about exploring hot subject matter? Think more about the “topics” your customers are interested in discussing or learning about in general. People are interested in all types of causes and concerns from religion and politics to statistical data and news. People like to analyze things and discuss things that relate to their industry. Don’t limit yourself to thinking that you can only optimize your Web pages to 3 or 4 keyword phrases because you “think” they are all that exist.

# Remember to exploring and research opportunities by researching specific colors. Color is a big deal in some industries.

# Consider exploring topics related to specific seasons, which may be appropriate for your Web audience.

# Try researching common acronyms related to your industry to open up more “unexplored data.”
Make sure you are not mixing up acronyms between industries though. Did you know there are over 100 different related meanings to the common acronym we refer to as SEO? And many of these do not relate to the search engine industry.

Well I ‘m glad your wrote this and that I read it, I was just about to purchase Micro Niche after several weeks of debating with myself. I really am pretty sure at this point that none of these “paid” keyword tools are worth it, wouldn’t it be great if we could actually have a completely accurate search numbers tool!!

Thanks for the honest post,
