Search engines use countless methods to sort, rank and deliver results. Some are highly controllable others can feel like a combination of dumb luck and voodoo. Keywords are a great place to start your SEO process. The following tools will help you discover the best keywords for your site. A good starting process includes, building a master list of key words then separating them into groups. For example an e-commerce site would separate specific product keywords into different groups. Doing this can help you start to optimize your site structure and create linkages you never knew existed
