Keyword Canine has just reached version 3.0 and is a much improved and feature-rich piece of SEO software that has, I feel, finally come of age.

The creator of Keyword Canine 3.0, Jon Leger, is a well-known name in the field of SEO tools and services and you should always take everything he produces seriously.

Although Keyword Research is very much at the heart of Keyword Canine 3.0, the system now offers so much more. Some of the features now standard within the package include a first class Keyword Rank Tracker, a Site Health Monitoring tool, a Keyword Analysis facility which gives a good idea of the ranking difficulty one might face trying to rank for a particular keyword or phrase, Search Result Analysis, Backlink Analysis, Long-Tail Keyword Mining and a very useful Keyword Optimiser.

Keywords can be sourced from a variety of sources, not just Google’s AdWords’ Keyword Planner. I was pleased to see YouTube as one of the sources since ranking for videos on YouTube is now becoming more important for many website owners.

There’s plenty of choice these days when it comes to Keywrod research tools and you certainly shouldn’t ruch into making a decision. I don’t think anyone will ever regret buying this tool but I’m not sure that everyone needs it – you may not need to pay for your keyword research if your campaigns are fairly straightforward.

Don’t forget – Google’s Keyword Planner is still free of charge if you open an AdWords account. You don’t have to run any ads or spend any money to use the Keyword Planner.

Keyword Canine is sold in two ways, as an annual subscription @ $297 or monthly @ $47, (that’s roughly £192.23 or £30 per month). There isn’t a free trial available but there is a full money back guarantee for 30 days if you are not satisfied.

See the Keyword Canine video here and judge for yourself – if you want more than just a simple keyword tool then Keyword Canine 3.0 could be just the animal for you. We’ll have a full Keyword Canine review ready in just a few days.
