So I just went and checked it out really quick and that is simply AMAZING!!!! I'm by no means a google expert of even a SEO expert, but this will help greatly when I have ghostwriters write articles for me, I can see the keywords I really need! Thanks again so much!

This is a one of several great tools from Google. I use this to find new and upcoming trends in everything - not just real estate. Their keyword tool is excellent too. Marco Santarelli Norada Real Estate Investments <i>Your Premier Source for Turnkey Investment Property</i>
