best, most accurate keyword tool?

26 replies
Hey Warriors,

I've noticed recently that many different keyword research tools have had scattered and totally different results as far as the search count for keywords goes.

Does anyone know what keyword tool is best and which one has had the most accurate results for you?

Thanks, Corey

    I am also interested in this topic. I have been using google's own since I started IM but switched to SEO book keyword tool on the advise of a warrior I respect but I have this feeling that google's own may be the best

    I was using SEO Book, but I find it hard to trust now, because I'm ranked 1st in Google for a term that supposedly gets around 2000 searches a day and yet today I've only had 8 clicks through all day. Sounds fishy

      I agree - Google's keyword tool would have to be where the most accurate keyword data comes from at the moment.

      (Google has the lion's share of searches, so is able to give the most accurate picture of which keywords have the most searches)

      It's where traffic data comes from inside Market Samurai too.

    Since the rollout of Google's key word tool and the new features, nothing else even comes close.

    Market Samurai all the way for me....The data is accurate but it offers so much more. I don't use anything else anymore....

    I say the combination of Google Keyword and Market Samurai. Use all the other free ones too like Seo Book Tool and Wordtracker.

    I agree completely.

    Since we are primarily interested in Google, why would we need any other stats which have such a vast sampling anyway?

    A few years back I would use services such as Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery to download large lists of keywords to run through the page creator scripts, but that strategy is now dead.

    All we are interested in is very detailed and accurate keyword analysis, without sampling errors, deviations, distortions etc, and Google Keywords Tool provides that.

        I personally use bothMarket Samurai and Google's Keyword Tool.Previously I used to use wordtracker and SEO book but I find that both of these tools i.e. Google Keyword tool and MS are very comprehensive in their results as compared to any other tools out there.

    Definately Adwords. Add your keywords, create an advert and monitor over a period of time. That's pretty much as close as you are going to get as acurate. Of course it does cost you money, but you said acurate, no?

    I really don't know who to trust, sometimes different tools give similar results, sometimes they give wildly different results.

    In the end I've just defaulted to the Google tool, just because it's from Google. I mean, if they provide it to their Adwords users for the purpose of building profitable ads, they must be making some effort to keep those statistics and search numbers relevant. Providing their clients with faulty data would just mean non-performing Adwords ads and less money for Google.

      I use a combination of google keyword tool, micro niche finder and market samurai. I think they all work hand in hand with each other and each helps add up to each other's flaw..

    I don't think that there will be any best tool available other then Google Keyword Research tool. Because if you want to get data about search queries about google than only google can provide you most accurate data.

    the difference is that many KW tools actually dont use google, but they use the free Wordtracker and therefore *estimate* the real search results in google.

    Very few KW tools (Market Samurai is one of them) use actual google data.

    As SaSeoPete already mentioned - Adwords would be the most accurate method. You actually get real data to work with (so long as your ad is showing on 1st page).

    For Yahoo... use Yahoo's PPC system.

    For Bing... you get the idea.

    I'd say use those tools mentioned above to get a ball park figure. Then if you're serious about tackling a keyword, seek real feedback as quickly as you can (Adwords).

    I'd also vouch for the Google Keyword Tool. People are always trying to overcomplicate keyword research. Go with who has the data...
