Trying to compete in the arena of internet marketing without a good keyword research tool (not to mention a free keyword tool) is like going to slay the dragon with your everyday kitchen steak knife. Your tool is too small and you are about to get yourself hurt. Big time. Think about it like this….the army with the most guns will usually win the war. With a free keyword tool you have a single gun, and a small one at that. But what a solid paid keywords research tool will give you is an arsenal of firepower that can be wielded so many ways that most campaigns become virtually indefensible by the competition. It’s the difference between guns and bows and arrows. There is just no way to win if you are using inferior weapons.
A good keywords research tool will provide you intelligence on the competition that the free tools will never deliver. How much content has your competitor published? Where is the strongest competition on the internet for your campaign? What exactly has your competitor published and how are going to beat them? Try answering all those questions with the free tool Google provides you. You will not stand a chance and neither will your campaigns. You should have tool that gives you all this information with the click of a single button in half the amount of time it would take to track it down manually, even if you already know how to do that which is doubtful. I don’t know about you, but I need as much time as I can get. I heard they weren’t making any more of it.
Owning a good keyword research tool is being serious about internet marketing. If you are just playing and dipping your toe in the water to check the temperature, OK. But you will never make any money that way, at least no more than a dinner and movie might cost you. But if you are looking to make a living, you will never compete with the marketers who are already experiencing success in their niches. They have already learned their lesson. Free ain’t really free. There is a price to pay for being cheap and skimping on your keyword research. That price is losing profitable spots on the front page of Google by the people who own a $100 tool and are beating your pants offs at will. Information is king and his sword is a good keywords research tool.
Keywords research tools come in many forms and you can pull your hair out trying to figure out which one is for you. At some point in your search you will have to trust someone and decide to buy one. Until you do, you are no more tan a hobbyist. However, I doubt that is why you are reading this article and if you are still reading at this point, maybe you already know it is time to get serious or get to finding you a new hobby.

Latent Semantic Indexing is that cool?
1. Other than metatags, visit http://www.keywordspy.com to find out keywords of competitors.
2. Try out more segments of Internet marketing research listed on http://www.internet-marketing-consultancy.com/internet_market_research.html
There is no point on just hopping on keywords and keyphrases, to deliver value to your customers.

First of all, throw pagerank out the window, pagerank is irrelevant.
It could be a handful of things, but definitely not meta tags.
I'll give you 5 guesses at why you're being outranked…
1. Domain age. Your competitors domain is older and more trusted.
2. Anchor text. Your competitor's links have better anchor text.
3. Authority of domains linking to your competitor. Like you said. Do a Yahoo Directory/DMoz cross check.
4. # of unique and quality pages in google's index. I've found that trusted/aged websites with lots of pages in the index are very hard to pass in the search results.
5. Keywords in domain and onsite optimization. Are you using the best onsite optimization techniques like css image replacement? Do you have unique title tags for every page?
Here's a great new video from Aaron Wall on Onsite spamming..err..Optimization…

5b. Domain age again. Is your domain still new? It may take 6 months or more, but once your domain gains trust with google you may see your website leapfrog all your competitors overnight.
While you wait for trustrank to kick in. Use tools like
Link Hub

SEO for Firefox
http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html
to go out and get all the same links your competitors have. Usually if they got em, you can get em.
Good luck!
dont know in details about it but for me google adsens worksbest.
thanks

Just type your keyword in to Google and the first page that pops up is the highest ranking site. That's what a search engine is all about.
If you want to see where your site ranks for certain keywords, sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and Google analytics.
Look up "Search engine optimization" (SEO). Unless you are going to pay Google to be a sponsored link, you will struggle to do what you want unless someone searches somehting unique to your site
Contact the owner of the site and ask them very nicely whether they could possibly check their traffic stats to see how many times that page has been viewed recently.
