Google has just upgraded the Adwords External Keyword Tool so that it now also shows Search Volumes for the Keywords it returns during keyword research. As Google is the biggest source of keyword search phrases, due to the fact that it is the dominant search engine used by web surfers, this news is extremely significant.
If you are an internet or affiliate marketer you will know that the tradition tools used for keyword research, like Wordze, Keyword Discovery, Keyword Elite and Wordtracker have always been thought of as inaccurate when providing estimated search volumes. They can only collect a very small fraction of the data that Google has access to. The Google keyword database must be massive when you compare it to those of the tools above.
The traditional keyword research tools use a their owns methods to predict search volumes, but what they display is only really a best guess estimate and each tool can give very different and probably inaccurate results. However as they have been the only tools available to try and predict these numbers they were what we had to use.
With the new release of the updated version of the Adwords external keyword tool Google has changed the game, because the search volumes it displays are are taken from real keyword phrase search entered by real people into the Google search engine. Thus from now on Google can give you everything you want for keyword research and there will be no need to use the paid for keyword services any more.
The best part of this news is that Google now provides all this new information for free! Although the external keyword tool is provided for affiliate marketers using Adwords to promote products and services, it is available free to everyone. If you know the link URL then you can use this tool for free.
Many top internet marketers in the industry are claiming this as the biggest thing that has happened to internet marketing for a very long time. For once it seems that Google is giving something back. Of course there are also many cynics out there who question why Google has done this and there are others who question the accuracy of the search data Google has revealed. Early checks have shown that in may cases the data is fairly accurate, but only time will tell as more analysis on these new results is completed.
The other major aspect of what Google have just done is that there is a different free version of the tool so that geographically related data can now be discovered, enabling internet marketers to do keyword research specifically for individual countries such as the UK, France or even New Zealand. Thus this is now the best UK keyword research tool for keywords search for in only the United Kingdom.
Apart form the fact this new tool for Google is free this is also very significant and the paid keyword research services never provided any really useful keyword data for country locations.
