    Google used to have really robust tools for keyword research. They were even useful for finding overlooked niche subjects that paid well as an AdSense publisher. But as far as I can tell, they’ve completely removed those tools, instead pushing ignorance and “trust us” messages.

      They still have a relatively good keyword research tool within the Google Ads interface, but I think I recall the stats are nuked unless you’re actively paying money for an ads account.
