Did you know that there’s a separate Google Keyword tool for the UK? Many SEOs in the US and elsewhere are not aware of this. It looks and works identically to the standard Google Keyword Tool, but only provides keyword research for UK-based searches.

This is a great tool to use for doing anything from setting up UK-based affiliate sites, to writing UK-targeted articles or even registering .co.uk domain names.

Note that if you’re a Yank, you’ll want to research keywords in British syntax (i.e., “favour” instead of “favor”). You can research both variations and note the differences…it could provide some interesting results.

We can only hope that Google will create this tool for more countries and regions; so far, there’s only one for the US and for UK. If you need to do additional keyword research in other countries, you’re pretty much stuck beyond using Google Insights for Search. It’s nowhere near as in-depth in terms of keyword results as the Keyword Tool, but it will be a big help in providing insight into rising search terms in practically any country of the world that uses the internet.
