8.    Long Tail Pro

Google is one of the best ways to get consistent traffic to your website. It’s free (kind of), consistent, and long term.

It’s also difficult to rank for competitive keywords because everyone is working on it. LongTailPro helps you find long tail search terms that can drive a huge amount of cumulative traffic.

Instead of going up against a huge brand like Mens Fitness, you’ll be ranking search terms that make you money before you know it.

Their tool uses a few simple metrics like keyword competitiveness, competition, and ranking value to give you a better idea of the keywords to target.

An interesting feature is the ability to see the search results breakdown. Google has started to introduce things like featured snippets and local search results which push the organic results further down and reduce traffic.
