Greetings from Korea. Thank you for the great post!
While my intention was to test out related keywords for blogging seo in Korean with google Korea, I wanted to dedicate a blog for Koreans to understand wordtracker as well for those interested in expanding their small business abroad.
I will keep coming back here!

Thanks for this posting.

Google provides quantitative data while WordTracker provides qualitative data.

WordTracker provides niche keywords list. To come-up this list it requires more efforts in Google keywords tool.

Many keywords are not available in WordTracker but available in Google keywords.

How do you compare Wordtracker to Google Keyword Tool when the screen shot taken from Wordtracker states: “Take from all Dogpile & Metacrawler queries over the last 160 days.” Doesn’t say Google in that. So it’s almost like this post has no value now. You compare Google Keyword Tool to a service that doesn’t even mention Google as part of its results. Again I’m just going on what I saw in your screen shot above for Wordtracker. Wasted my time reading this.

Thanks for this info! I am doing a good bit of keyword research using both tools. I do find Google Keywords to be a quick and easy to find the general number I’m looking for. I haven’t gotten the hang of wordtracker so much but I do find it useful, as you’ve mentioned, in locating those daily results that Google doesn’t turn up.

Very insightful article. There tends to be a lot of confusion as to what the Wordtracker search data represents (i.e. daily, monthly,). And it has been tough getting Wordtracker to explain this in plain english. Thank you for the great article.

It cleared my doubts, I have just started doing SEO optimising and brought my first domain on a first page, but much less traffic than expected….I’ll definitely try the wordtracker!

Hello Jad,

Nope, that’s not right. Kevin doesn’t understand what Metacrawler actually is and does…

MetaCrawler is a metasearch engine that blends the top web search results from Google, Yahoo!, Bing (formerly Live Search), Ask.com, About.com, MIVA, LookSmart and other popular search engines. MetaCrawler also provides users the option to search for images, video, news, yellow pages and white pages.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Ros

Kevin –
“… I just don’t like the fact that Wordtracker leaves out 99% of searches on the web. How many of you use Dogpile and Metacrawler? I know I don’t. So think of all the thing’s you’ve searched for in Google, Yahoo, etc over the last 90 days. According to Wordtracker, your searches don’t exist…”

Is this right? WT completely ignores Google searches – about 80% of all UK searches ??
I knew about the WT 1% only, which always intrigued me as a USP …”We Ignore 99% Of The Data!!”

It is better to use google keyword tool. Because it will give your more accurate estimate then word tracker.

Word tracker looks for all SE of world while google is showing you its own results.
