Looks like Google has shifted it’s position. Here’s the description I got

today from my friend Ewen Chia:

“Something big happened in the internet marketing world this morning and you need to know about it…

Google have done something which they said they’d never do, and it probably spells the “end” for services like Wordtracker.

Here’s the summary…

- If you’ve ever used Google Adwords you’ll know they always represented search volume for a keyword by a rating out of 5.

This morning they scrapped that, and started showing ACTUAL SEARCH VOLUME for keywords.

Now Wordtracker keyword volumes have always been accused of being wildly inaccurate because they make predictions from only 2-3% of actual search activity.
So now that Google has made a change, more accurate search volume is finally available.

Go try it out here, enter a keyword and you’ll see Google’s estimate of actual search volume – and
this is great news for us internet marketers!

How does this affect your keyword and market research?

Now you can be absolutely sure of the size of a niche because there’s no more need to make wild guesses about search volume :-) ”

Hope you find this useful.

Do You use Adwords/Adsense to market?

Until next post….
