[baronig]

I have received an email from wordtracker "When Google gives you keywords for free, why pay for a subscription to Wordtracker's premium Keywords tool?"

do you use wordtracker?is it worth it to invest 350$/year?

Wordtracker used to be really good and I was using it but now I use nichebot which gives me the WT results at $10/mo. Keyword Discovery has a much larger database and I use it a lot now. Google keyword tool is the best service. Also, it is free for your use.

Hi there,

My name's Mal, and I work for Wordtracker Customer Support. It would be easy to get into a sales pitch here, but I'd rather not do that on a public forum - feels a bit rude!

All I would say is that we have thousands of customers who return to Wordtracker because they are able to find keywords that help their SEO or PPC campaigns. Something that's fairly new to Wordtracker is the facility to offer very focused competition information which no other tool has access to - telling you how many pages have been directly optimized for each keyword in the database, showing actual competition rather than just the amount of pages a search engine has indexed for each term. We're also working on providing this metric for keywords that don't appear in our database. Our CTO Mike Mindel wrote an article about this that explains it in more detail, which can be found in the Keyword Research section of the Wordtracker Academy - it's called "Finding Profitable Keywords Just Got Easier" - I'd post a link, but I don't have enough posts on here to be able to do that!


Like I said, I'm not going to go into a sales pitch, but we do have a free 7 day trial which can be easily found on the home page - this can give you the time to assess for yourself how useful you feel Wordtracker can be for you.

I hope this is of some use, but please do contact us (details are easily found from our home page) if you have any questions.

All the best,

Mal

I am a Wordtracker User/Customer in my 3rd year of membership.

Their research tool is much easier and quicker to use than it used to be. It also returns far more keywords that are useful than the free keyword tool.

I sometimes use the google tool and end up thinking "what am I doing here" then go onto wordtracker. The cost is large in IM terms but for those of us who run offline businesses it is a minor business expense that I must have at my disposal.
