Wordtracker release free version of keyword tool


Aaron Wall has just posted that Wordtracker have launched new free version of their keyword tool.

Mike Mindel from Wordtracker commented about this to confirm that “We’re offering 100 results free, adult filtered with drill down into the long tail.”

This is excellent timing as the Overture keyword tool has been regularly unavailable for the last couple of days, although Yahoo! have confirmed that this has not gone but “the responsiveness of this free tool is diminished due to the sheer volume of hits it receives each day, therefore browsers may time out and error pages may appear but it doesn’t mean that this tool has been removed.”

Here is the Wordtracker keyword tool, this looks to be an excellent way to quickly find the popularity of search terms, based upon Dogpile.com and Metacrawler.com figures, and I especially like the way you can easily drilldown to the long tail results, as Mike said.

Kevin Gibbons is Founder/Director of Strategy at SEOptimise. Kevin is well known within the search industry as a blogger for sites such as Search Engine Land, Econsultancy and Search Engine Watch. Kevin is also a frequent SEO speaker at a number of conferences including Search Marketing Expo (SMX), Search Engine Strategies (SES), a4uexpo, SAScon and BrightonSEO.

    Hey there everyone,

    Just thought I would pop in here and
    share real quick.

    All the thoughts, tools and ideas
    presented are absolutely terrific.

    There is just ONE big huge gaping
    hole with all the free keyword tools
    that services have created to fill
    the void of the disappearance and
    then reappearance of the Overture tool.

    And that is . . . (drum roll please)

    Every single FREE keyword tool has
    NO capability of saving your keywords
    in a basket and managing your projects.

    Well — since July of 1994,
    NicheBOTclassic.com has been
    providing its constantly growing
    userbase (currently 13,847 users)
    the ability to save their keyword
    searches that are done for free. ;o)

    I know — it’s okay to feel your
    heart pitter-patter and get excited
    like a kid in a candy story.

    And I’m sure you would agree…

    That’s not only what I call
    “useful” — but I call that a
    solution!

    Plus — you also get access to
    the Overture tool (while it’s
    still alive) at…

    =====> NicheBOTclassic.com

    You ALSO get to save your
    Overture searches. Again, that’s
    only until the Overture tool is
    taken off the digital shelf.

    You can easily create an account
    right here:

    Time to manage your FREE keyword
    searches better, don’t ya think? ;o)

    And don’t be surprised if you find your-
    self telling your friends and business
    acquaintances about this clearly
    useful and superior resource.

    Best wishes,

    Stu Miles, Strategic Partner Coordinator
    NicheBOTclassic.com and NicheBOT.com

    P.S. If you ever have any questions
    that I, or my team, can handle, please

  4. I believe that when doing keyword research you fundamentally must first get a keyword phrase that isn’t too competitive and receives an satisfying number of monthly searches. A good keyword software will make things easier. It also facilitates if the niche you are researching is one that you are passionate about.
