Review: ActualKeywords - making keyword research a lot easier

One of the more time consuming aspects of either SEO or PPC is keyword research; after all, there's no point using keywords no one is using is there?

That's where the subject of this review comes in. ActualKeywords.com ordered this review from ReviewMe to tell the world about their service. ActualKeywords intend to take all the hard work out of keyword research by giving you up-to-date real keyphrases that people are using daily on the search engines.  

Therefore it means that instead of you trying to work out trends and niche keywords, they can provide you with a list of keywords ranked by popularity so you know exactly what is likely to pay dividends and what isn't.  

They're quite keen to highlight some very impressive statistics; that they have over 174,000,000 distinct keyphrases which is astonishing.

So what can I get from them?
Essentially you can create a package of keywords based on some specific keywords or phrases that you specify; so you can give it a short description of the niche you're in and it can provide an extensive list of keywords. Equally astonishingly, they can provide packages from only $10 per niche. If you consider how much an hour of your time is worth, it almost certainly should be more than $10 so I find it hard to believe how you could go wrong with such a service.

Free stuff?
Absolutely, someone has taught the guys at ActualKeywords a thing about offering value, as they've got a free keyword tool. Some of the free keyword packages on offer have up to 52,000 keywords in them and cover quite a broad range of subjects so if you're unsure about buying a package, it might be worth looking into a generic one they provide for free.

But is it updated often?
One of the biggest worries with keyword tools such as this is whether they're updated to reflect current search trends. They claim to update the keywords every month which seems about right; any more frequent would be overkill and any less would stop it being useful.

I genuinely like ActualKeywords because it can make your life a lot easier for only a few dollars and I invariably value my time a lot more than that, so if you're a time sensitive cat with a few dollars spare, I fail to see how you could go wrong buying a niche set of keywords from these guys.

Site note
Their site looks professional and well designed which will help them win over customers. But I'm going to give them a big thumbs up, something I don't normally do on paid reviews.
