          Hello,

          I'm relatively new to SEO and looking to find a good tool for estimating the search traffic volume of different keywords in order to focus efforts on higher yielding terms. Right now I'm using Google's traffic estimator but it doesn't seem to have much data for long-tail keywords. Is anything else out there better or more accurate?

          Thank you!

            Thank you for the suggestion, but did you ever tried it by yourself. I had tried their service and the research tool didn't show me any results. Moreover I am targeting Latin America(separately each country...) and they targets only a few country..... Thanks for the response, Anyone else, any option...

              Have you tried WordTracker? They offer "Search Count":

              “Search Count (new tool):
              For the Wordtracker data, the Search count is the number of times each keyword appears in our database of searches over the past 365 days. This constitutes just under 1% of all US search, and the data is gathered from metacrawler.com and dogpile.com.

              The database is updated every day, and new data is between 15 and 30 hours old when it hits the live servers. If you’re searching using the Google data, the information presented is from the Google AdWords API. It’s Exact Match data by default, and the search volumes are from the last available month (in real terms this normally means the last calendar month).

              There’s currently no indication from Google about their sample size for this data, or what kind of extrapolation may be applied to the data before it’s presented. There is a limit of 1,000 searches per month on the Google data – this is to ensure we can give an even service to all of our users.”

              -https://keywords.wordtracker.com/help/metrics_explained

              They offer a pretty good tutorial on how to use their tool to find profitable niches: http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/finding-profitable-keywords-just-got-easier

              You can get the basic "WordTracker Count" (WT) metric for free from several different tools online, SEOBook.com's Keyword Tool among them: http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/

                  I don't know of a better source for long-tail keywords (though I sympathize, there's not a whole lot of traffic data out there for rc model warship combat related keywords!). Would love to see anyone chime in.

                  There have actually long been complaints about the accuracy of the Adwords keyword tool. For some interesting discussion, see http://www.davidnaylor.co.uk/google-adwords-keyword-tool-the-difference-explained.html and the previous posts he links to. A speaker on AdWords at a conference last year said that the AdWords Keyword Tool should be on a Fiction bestseller list somewhere.

                    With Google traffic estimator / keyword Tool you get the data from the SE itself.

                    Which is all the more reason not to trust it! 😄

                    if you don't have data for long tail keywords that is probably because the search for those terms is very low as far as volume.

                    Because Google only now reports on keywords that make them money 😉

                    There can't / won't be another better source for this kind of data.

                    Your own analytics are the only thing that will give you a truly accurate data set, however I appreciate that it's not predictive for the most part 🙂 For future reference as well, once you have top rankings for something always compare it against what you thought you would get and judge for yourself how accurate the tool is.

                    Anyway, yes, use the tool it's still one of the best resources you have access to.

                      I personally use this tool alone for this type of work.

                      if you don't have data for long tail keywords that is probably because the search for those terms is very low as far as volume.

                      ..just my opinion but again, even if you find a source that can show you other # i think it's practically impossible to be accurate.

                      Hope it helps at least to enforce what you are using and put your mind to ease. 🙂

                        A Solution to Keywords Being Grouped in Google Keyword Planner

                        Hi guys, I am trying to get search traffic for a list of keywords which I put together a few years ago for one of my clients, this was before Google made changes to their Keyword Planner. When I am adding the list into Google Keyword Planner it is "grouping" a number of the keywords/phrases together, and therefore removing 13 of the keywords from the original list of 59 keywords. Is there a way around this so I can get search volume for the original list, and not the cut down one? I am specifically using Google Keyword Planner as I want to get search volume for a number of specific locations in the UK. Any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jack. I19Op

                        Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(

                        So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

                        The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.

                        Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

                        Where to start with keyword research for a telecom company?

                        Hey, I'm a brand's person with no SEO experience, yet I'm in a position where I have to carry out an SEO audit of our telecom company's website. Though our website is up and running for some years now, nobody bothered to undertake keyword research. From the little I've read over months on SEOmoz, I've just done the following: took out keywords bringing organic traffic on to our website and checked our rankings for those keywords on major search engines. My observation is that most of these words are long-tail keywords. Since we only have product/service information related to our offerings, most of the head terms we've used for packages/offers/services pages are branded keywords. My understanding is that we need to rank top for our branded keywords (a must) and try to rank as high as possible for long tail. In addition, we can use those keywords in our copy so that the right page ranks top for the respective keyword. Am I missing anything here? What else do I need to do?

                        How do you optimize for compound keywords

                        What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s  but I think this is diluting them all.  Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter
