I had seen the Google Trends website for knowing about search trends, etc., however, I was not aware of this Chrome extension. It is useful extension that makes the whole process easier.
yes its a great tool indeed. I have tried real hard to get the SEO right by using various keyword research tools. But no success so far:/ The main reason being that most of the keywords that I use are full of competition. And the keywords that are less competitive seem to be useless and boring to me. Its sad. Hope I get it right one day..
Well, you’re not alone Karan. I wish there was one super awesome way of doing SEO, but I’m afraid, there isn’t so we all have to constantly keep trying differnet things until we get a system that works for us. Thanks for your comments.
