it does not have a search limit.<\/p>\n<p>While on the flip side, AnswerThePublic has only 3 search limits per day on the free plan.<\/p>\n<p>However, like most of the free tools, it also has a drawback.<\/p>\n<p>On the free plan, it will not show you the full keyword list. Instead, it will only show you 50 keywords for free.<\/p>\n<p>To use this tool, enter any topic or seed keyword around your niche and click on <strong>\u201cgenerate\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/QuestionDB-1.PNG\" alt=\"QuestionDB\"

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Keyword_Sheeter\"><\/span>12. <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordsheeter.com\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Keyword Sheeter<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keyword Sheeter uses Google\u2019s autocomplete database to fetch hundreds and thousands of untapped keyword ideas that most keyword research tools normally can\u2019t find.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so powerful that it can generate up to 1000 keyword ideas within a minute.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s quickly look at how this tool actually works\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To get started, enter your head keyword (you can put more than one keyword at a time) and click on <strong>\u201cSheet keywords\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyword-sheeter-1.PNG\" alt=\"Keyword Sheeter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As an example, I\u2019ve searched for the keyword <strong>\u201cdiet plan\u201d<\/strong> and as you can see the tool has generated thousands of new keyword ideas for me related to the term \u201cdiet plan\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyword-sheeter-2.PNG\" alt=\"Keyword sheeter keyword ideas\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can even filter out the keyword-based on any negative or positive word.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want, you can also export the keyword data as a CSV file with just a single click.<\/p>\n<p>But one disappointing thing about this tool is that it has a very old design and the search volume is also unavailable on the free plan.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Keyworddit\"><\/span>13. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highervisibility.com\/free-seo-tools\/keyworddit\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Keyworddit<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keyworddit is a pretty unique keyword research tool.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of scraping keywords from Google\u2019s database, it pulls out keywords from Reddit threats and comments.<\/p>\n<p>But is it reliable?<\/p>\n<p>Definitely yes because Reddit has a huge community and most probably your ideal customers are also using Reddit on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>And by pulling out keywords from Reddit, you\u2019ll exactly know what your ideal customers are searching for and discussing about.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing that you have to keep in mind while using this tool is that you can\u2019t just type in any keyword you want.<\/p>\n<p>There have to be an existing subreddit around your keyword from where the tool will pull data from.<\/p>\n<p>For example, If you type <strong>\u201cblog\u201d<\/strong> on the search bar, you\u2019ll see the tool will suggest you two subreddits to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyworddit-1.PNG\" alt=\"Keyworddit\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And if you choose the <strong>\u201cblogging\u201d<\/strong> subreddit, you\u2019ll get a result like this:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyworddit-2.PNG\" alt=\"Keyworddit keyword ideas\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, since it only pulls out data from Reddit, you\u2019ll get very limited keyword ideas.<\/p>\n<p>But still, it\u2019s not a bad option either if you\u2019re just starting out.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Keyword_Tool_Dominator\"><\/span>14. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keywordtooldominator.com\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Keyword Tool Dominator<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keyword Tool Dominator is a pretty easy-to-use tool for finding new keyword opportunities for your business.<\/p>\n<p>It has a separate keyword tool for almost all major websites like Amazon, Google, YouTube, Bing, eBay, and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you specifically want to find keywords for your Amazon product or eBay listing then this tool can work like a charm for you.<\/p>\n<p>But how it actually works?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To use the tool, enter your seed keyword, select the country, select the language and click on <strong>\u201csearch\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyword-tool-dominator-1.PNG\" alt=\"Keyword Tool Dominator\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then it will extract the data from the web and give you a stack of keyword ideas to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Keyword-tool-dominator-2.PNG\" alt=\"Keyword Tool Dominator keyword list\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It also has a wonderful filtering option that will allow you to filter out the keywords ideas effortlessly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most keyword research tools are pretty expensive.<\/p>\n<p>And for a newbie, it becomes quite difficult to invest in those tools.<\/p>\n<p>However, you don\u2019t have to worry about it now.<\/p>\n<p>Because these days, there are many powerful free tools that can help you to get started with your keyword research.<\/p>\n<p>The tools that I\u2019ve listed in this post are some of the best free keyword research tools that can help you to find untapped and low-competitive keywords very easily.<\/p>\n<p>And most importantly, all of these keyword research tools are 100% free to use.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you got some value out of
