Can I ask you the following questions please, fellow warriors? If you don't know all of them, I would appreciate your input on the ones you do know about and thanks very much in advance for all those who reply:

I was sorry to find out that the Google Keyword Tool is no longer publicly available and that you have to sign into an Adwords account to use it. When I went ahead and did that they took me through the process of starting an ad campaign and I don't want to get locked into one before I do my keyword research! I just opted out and am writing you all now for assistance. I just wanted to know...

1) After I give them my info, will I automatically be signed up for the campaign I selected with their keyword planner? Do I have the option to go to their Keyword Tool and not opt in to a paid Adwords campaign right away or is the tool now only for those actively paying for an Adwords campaign?

2) Is the Google Keyword Tool any good? I know it can't be an exact science, but is it relatively useful and accurate re: search volume?

3) How does Wordtracker compare with either Google Keyword Tool or Wordstream? Is it worth the cost?

4) How does Wordstream compare to either the Google Keyword Tool or Wordtracker? Is it any good?

5) How does Traffic Travis hold up vs Wordstream or Google Keyword Tool?

Again, thanks for your attention fellow warriors!

    Hi CharlesArtist,

    find here my honest answers:

    1.) I can still access the keyword planner tools in adwords without ever to be a paying adwords client.

    2.) It is "OK". However I would advice my 2-step technique, explained here: http://www.warriorforum.com/search-e...-research.html

    3.) can not say, I prefer technique @ answer 2

    4.) same here

    5.) same here

    I prefer semrush + ubersuggest way, because of many factors:
    - SR gives very good overview of main keywords
    - SR gives many additional ideas with related words
    - SR together with US works out perfectly well
    - both give perfect features for nearly any international targeting needs
    - no need for any other

    If you found this helpful, I appreciate a quick "thanks"

    Keyword Planner (Google's keyword tool) is better than most keyword tools on the Net today and you can access it without creating a campaign. Click on 'tools' in the top menu and select keyword tool.

    NSA, Thanks! I never heard of those sites. They didn't show up on the search engine. I will try your method out.

    SEO Power, thanks. that's a relief! I figured as much but when I tried to sign up for Adwords, they were taking me through the motions to plan and pay for a campaign before I could do and keyword research to make sure it would work out.

  • Google adword and Market Samurai are the best tool for keywords research.
