GOOGLE has one based on the enormous Google database; it shows the number of actual searches for a particular keyword or phrase. It's called
Google Suggest: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en.
Wordtracker and Overture both have similar tools -- though their results are derived from vastly smaller samples, and both seem much less reliable than Google's.
http://www.wordtracker.com
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion
Here's a page that generates a table comparing Wordtracker and Overture results for your search terms, and for similar and related terms: http://www.123promotion.co.uk/ppc/index.php
Good Keywords is a small software program, available to download at no charge, which shows how many web pages are registered by different search engines, for any keyword or phrase you enter
Domain Name Analyzer is a small program, from the same people, designed to help in choosing and registering domain names
Keyword-Density Analyzers: http://www.gorank.com/analyze.php
Search-Engine Keyword Search (tells whether a specified web page appears in the top 3 results pages of each of 9 major search engines, for any chosen search term): http://www.marketleap.com/services/freetools/default.htm
L I N K Analyzers:
To see how many pages in the database of a given search engine are linking to a particular URL:
ENTER IN SEARCH ENGINE of your choice: link:www.domain.com or link:domain.com;
link:www.subdomain.domain.com
or link:subdomain.domain.com;
link:www.subdomain.domain.com/blahblah.html
or link:subdomain.domain.com/blahblah.html
Some search engines will include all subdomains in the results, if you enter:
link.all:www.domain.com or link.all:domain.com
Each of these 3 will show results for 6 major search engines (though you may find that their results don't always agree : ^ ): http://www.submitexpress.com/linkpop/

Search-Engine Optimization: 77 free SEO tools: http://www.seocompany.ca/tool/seo-tools.html
Google Sitemap Generator and Editor: http://www.sitemaps.blocklayer.com/Default.aspx
-- a superb tool for creating Google sitemaps! Nothing to download; just enter the URL of your site, click a button, and the sitemap is made!! (Unfortunately, just days after I discovered this, it disappeared from the web!! ... leaving nothing but a "404 Not Found" message.)
Google Sitemap Generator #2: http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp
-- a poor replacement for the above; more elaborate and complex, and requiring a lengthy download ... but still preferable to making the sitemaps by hand.
To see how many (and which) pages of a given domain are listed by a chosen search engine, enter: site:www.domain.com or site:domain.com
To see how many (and which) incoming links are listed by a chosen search engine, enter: link:www.domain.com or link:domain.com
This page -- http://www.uptimebot.com/ -- will show a comparison of results for multiple search engines, both for pages listed and incoming links.

(Something funny here: I plugged-in the URL of my page to be checked, and the result was a BLANK page! Then I looked at the source-code for the blank page, and saw, "The file <b>http://blah-blah-blah.xml</b><br />Validated Successfully without Errors"!! There was a JavaScript, intended to perform a "document.write" function, writing that result to the web page -- but the JavaScript was apparently not written properly! Initially, seeing "w3schools" in the URL of the validator, I had assumed this was a site connected with "w3.org", the World Wide Web Consortium. NOT the case, however: it's registered to an individual in Hommersak, Norway! : ^ )
Many of these links came from Michael Low, Chief Editor of www.HostAZ.com - "the definitive A-Z guide to cheap web hosting." (You can visit that website for inexpensive-hosting recommendations -- CAVEAT EMPTOR: though Mr. Low gives a 5-star recommendation to HostingU.com, my own experience, and that of many others, is that HostingU.com does not deliver what it advertises! [Mr. Low has been informed of this, and continues to give a 5-star recommendation.] -- and www.SitePub.com for more information and resources regarding website publishing.)
