Hi all, im new here and glad to have signed up.... but ill leave my intro for the proper section.
As my background however is more in IM and SEO ... having come to my current domain addiction and a portfolio of at least 1100 or so names at this point (though only just recently purchased for domaining investment type purposes - mostly i have purchased emds in my niches, then as my seo skills expanded i became a bit of an expert in ranking, building my own networks for seo and such.... so i come at the keyword topic with a good deal of understanding and background and can make 2 solid recommendations of tools I personally couldn't live without ....
Originally i used tools like market samurai which were fantastic - but worked on home machine as the biggest downside...
as SAAS cloud based tools came online all the benefits of market samurai (running analysis on the top 10 - page one results for each term) running on servers instead of home pcs - these tools exponentially expand what you can do.
For instance the first i will recommend - secockpit from swissmademarketing
I have used since beta and it is still excellent - i can plug in multiple rounds of keyword seeds - use several ways to expand that (not just pulling from google keyword tool, that but also a suggest based search (ie it will pull from google's suggested terms - those real ones from when you type in searches in google boxes but it will run through full alphabet/numbers... ie keyword a, keyword b, keyowrd 1 - this can generate a huge quantity of longtail keywords and is awesome.... you can also paste up to 800 terms at a time into a project and it will generally take about 2 minutes to run a full analysis (which yes includes info as to availability of EMDs - at least for the 3 main TLDs as we SEO guys benefit from EMD keyword matches with those 3 com net org much more than others - this is still true).
anyway - there is more to this tool it is amazing and indispensable - i love the power i have to play with large amounts of keyword data quickly and do things that just arent possible unless you want to wait 10 hours on a home machine....
but when it comes to BIG - really BIG digs for terms - my absolute favorite new tool is termexplorer.com
here i can paste into the seed entry more than one - however many terms i want (even domains to bring back terms they relate to or rank for).
the point here is BIG and expandsive runs - with my plan i can do 2 x 25,000 results digs daily, 10 x 10k digs etc
so you can really move through and generate masses of results and then filter them down - YES again for instance for available domains (this is checked as it searches but again just for the top 3 tlds...)
Term Explorer also has a fantastic keyword analyzer once you filter down the best terms it will do a hardcore analysis of competition and score each etc.
game changer of a tool for those who use this data in many ways (including but not only domains) like i do....
hope that is helpful
