Google KeywordToolExternal and SEOBook keyword-tools

learningbase · 07-05-2009, 09:42 PM

Hi,

I was looking at the number of searches on some keywords but there seems to be differing results by Google KeywordToolExternal and Aaron Well's SEOBook keyword-tools.

I understand that the mechanism or logarithms behind these 2 are different.

What intrigued me was that the differences of quite off between these 2 keyword tool.

Logically speaking, any user who, for example keyed in "soccer shoes" in the Google should be consider as 1 search whether in SEOBook or Google.

Or rather, which is more accurate?

Thanks,

Patrick

Not really positive on this, but they use different searchengine results, and I think Google uses both search and content results, so impressions (Adsense) are added in their results. So even though most people swear by Google's tool I tend to use SEO book and wordtracker results.

Google is its database (and other things nobody knows), while wordtracker use dogpile and a few other search engines, and meta tags.

That's why it's different.

In fact, you should use wordtracker numbers as an indicator of the popularity to compare between your projects or different keywords.

I gave up on paid keyword providers a while back. They just aren't accurate. Google's own KW Tool is sufficient, if you know how to apply the volumes.

Search the forums for the word GTEF and you'll find several very lengthy posts from me on the subject, and the actual formula I use and teach.

I agree with Steven.

I use the search volume and competition numbers as a general guideline and nothing more. I have used many, many keyword tools and find they all return very different numbers.

Of all the keyword tools I have used (both free and paid) the one I like and continue to use on a pretty consistent basis is Micro Niche Finder.

It's not free, but it organizes everything I generally need in one nice place and makes research more efficient (for me, at least).

MNF is the only paid tool I use, too.
