Free Keyword Tools: Wordtracker vs Google Adwords Keyword Tool
I am starting this thread to gather opinions from all on the above mentioned keyword tools. Also, I would like to clarify some keyword research here too.
Call me a cheapo, but as of now I prefer to stick to free keyword tools first for my keyword research!
Now my question is: Which tool is more reliable? Which tool is more accurate? Which tool is more efficient and finally, which tool do you use most for your keyword research?
I know that wordtracker shows searches per day, while google keyword tool displays searches per month for local and global(?).
However, there seems to be inconsistencies with both at times.
Let's say, for the term 'dog training', I get 1 500 000 searches locally for last month (May) on Google Adwords Keyword tool. And when I key in the term to wordtracker, I get 1141 searches.
Now, does that mean for today there are 1141 searches for 'dog training' while for the past month of May, there is about 1 500 000 searches for dog training? If that is so, then it doesn't add up mathematically. 1141 x about 30 days/mth does not equals to 1 500 000 searches!
Which tool is better for keyword research then?
Next, I would like to ask if there is still a use in putting "" (quotation marks) into keyword research on Google. I understand that it shows more 'exact' terms to show your 'real competiting' sites. However, what is the use of this when very little searches are based on quotation marks? (and on this topic, with allintitle, allinurl and allinanchor?)
I ask this because recently one of my website is ranked highly on Google for the keyword term that I wanted..however, it only ranked high with the quotation marks added to it.
Last but not least, call me a newbie, but what is the meaning of 'bluefart'? :p
Cheers!
