Overture does not differentiate between plural and singular word forms. All the results are singular. If you type in vitamins or vitamin you get the same results.
However, Google does differentiate, so when bidding on keywords in Google AdWords you should bid on both forms.
2. Google AdWords Keyword Suggestions
This Search Tool allows you to enter a keyword and receive alternative keyword phrase suggestions. While it doesn't tell you how often a word is searched for, it does gives you combinations and alternatives.
3. Google Sets
Though still in its infancy, "Google Sets" is a useful keyword research tool. For example, imagine you are researching keywords for a jewelry Merchant. You enter 3 keywords such as: ring, diamond, and necklace. Google then finds more relevant keywords. In this example Google Sets returned a long list including: bracelet, pendant, pearl, pin, gold, platinum, etc.
Enter some keywords of your own and add any new relevant keywords to your master keyword list.
4. Wordtracker
This tool works better than the previously mentioned tools, but it costs some money. You can, however, get a free trial. Click Here or look for the Wordtracker link on the resource website.
Wordtracker compiles a database of terms and expressions that people use while searching. When you enter keywords, Wordtracker tells you how often people search for them. Wordtracker will also tell you how many competing sites use those keywords.
Wordtracker also helps you identify all keyword combinations in their database that bear any relation to your business or service - many of which you may never have considered.
5. Keyword Research Tool - BrainFox
Enter a keyword and Brainfox will show you related phrases, and bidding history for those keywords.
6. Webmaster Toolkit - Keyword Research Tool
This tool allows you to enter a keyword and specify a search engine. It suggests alternative keyword phrases.
7. Keyword Suggestion Tool - 7Search.com
This Keyword Suggestion Tool allows you to query the number of times related keyword phrases were searched at 7Search during the previous month. Type in a keyword and 7Search will show you keyword combinations and the number of times they were searched.
This tool was released in August, 2003. It is an excellent tool that helps you find untapped niches.
Here is how it works. You enter a keyword into the Analyzer. It automatically shows you:
1. A comprehensive list of all RELATED keyword phrases!
2. The number of searches that were conducted throughout the previous month for each keyword phrase!
3. The number of advertising campaigns that currently exist - for both Google AdWords AND Overture!
4. "Supply and demand" by giving you the ratio between the number of any given keyword search and the number of related websites so you can make more money in any niche!
I have added a screen shot and more information about the AdWord Analyzer to the end of Google Cash in the "Important Updates - Latest Tips" Section on p. 85
