Any good niche keyword tools out there?

[MarkHamilton]

I am trying to do some keyword research. I have used Google Keyword tool and it is great - it just seems to take me a long time to get to some keywords that I think are worth using.

I have seen other keyword tools and some of them seem great (at least that is what the sales pages says) for speeding up the process of finding profitable keywords and long tail keywords.

I want to know if anyone has actually used some of these tools and do they actually do what they say they do. Are they worth the investment? Would they be understandable and useful for a newbie like me?

Please let me know as I could stand to speed up this keyword research stuff and know that I got it as right as possible.

I've been using Micro Niche Finder for almost 2 years now for amazon niche sites and I love it!

Thanks for that data. I will check that out.
I thought I would get more answers from folks as I have seen
a LOT of keyword tools advertised - but I am not sure of there effectiveness.
Maybe that are not used that much and people just use Google Keyword tool.

Keyword scout - for seo
Keyword elite by Brad C - for ppc
Market samurai - Swiss Army Knife, facing issues atm. Hope everything will be fixed
Micro niche finder - not as good as KS
Niche finder from Brad C - A stripped down MNF
Wordtracker - online-based best tool.
Semrush - My personal favourite

Tools that I missed are either not worth-mentioning or not used by me.
