Wordtracker – It Just Doesn’t Get Any Better!

I logged into my Wordtracker account the other day and found a nice surprise.
Previously, there were five different ways to search: Simple, Exact/Precise, Compressed, Comprehensive and Misspelling. While I like being given options, I need to know which one to use to get results!
Now, the five of them still exist, but there’s a new tool, too. It’s called “Keyword Researcher.” It makes searching multiple keywords much easier and, depending on its popularity, may someday replace the three different searches.
I was surprised when I used it. The ability to add multiple keywords and get the same results as inputting them separately saves a LOT of time. Before, I had to do separate searches on my keyword, then on keyword phrases, etc.
While there were new words presented each time, a lot of them were redundant. When doing searches for words within a particular niche, I would just see the same words over and over again. Using the tool makes makes it much simpler. In fact, the whole process with Wordtracker is really simple.
I use it when I build web pages, as well as when I make blog posts. If you want to be at the top of the organic search results, it pays to know which words to concentrate on when your writing – otherwise, you’re just writing, and there may not be anyone reading. I can now quickly find the words I need to concentrate on, and input them immediately into what I’m doing.
With Wordtracker, I originally got off to a quick start on my research without having to go through a big tutorial. (Although, they do have one, if you want to get extra hints on searching properly.)
If you’re not using it as a tool to help you find the words that will get you at the top of the search results, you may be missing out on a lot of business. There is a free trial if you want to take a limited look, or you can test it with full access for a day for less than 8 bucks!
You can do a lot of research in a day I bet.

I have used the free version of ceo for years now. It has a cei I believe it is called that actually suggests the best words based on how much compatition versus the use of the word.
I have found it very good for giving me the keywords that are at top of google. Question is if you go head to head with others who are using the same word and paying for them in a pay per click are you at an advantage?
I strongly believe that just because a word is strong on all these different keyword helpers dose not mean you will be up there as well. There is a lot more to the equasion.
My example is the word free. It is the strongest or one of the strongest of all words for selling, but in saying that it is also one of the most competative. Not sure what it would take to get a blog or a website up to the top with the word free.
Keep up the excellent work my friends. I watch your blogs all the time and have picked up a lot of good hints along the way.

I think you are missing one important function of the tools. The point is not to find the strongest keyword, it’s to find a strong keyword with less competition.
In your example, you would want to find a phrase that is more targeted, and less popular than the general phrase “free” — like “free music” or “free games.”
These will help you to better reach the market you are selling to — or find out what market you should target in your next campaign.
Good Luck!
