Wordtracker Free and Paid Keyword Tool Review
As promised, this post will be all about the Wordtracker keyword research tools. Let’s start with the free one.
Free Wordtracker Tool
If you’ve been doing this for a while, you may remember the old overture/ yahoo keyword tool. Once it stopped working, wordtracker stepped up with their own free version. It can be found here. You simply enter your keyword and click the “hit me” button. Here’s what it looks like:
Wordtracker will then go out and give you the top 100 searches that include your keyword as well as how often the term is searched per day. I used crockpot cooking in the search I did for the the picture above. If this is a niche you may be interested in, take a look at my crockpot niche pack.
Use the steps outlined in the Google keyword tool post to research your competition for each keyword.
Or if you don’t want to do all this by hand, consider using the ….
Paid Wordtracker Tool
What I like best about this particular tool is the fact that it does the analysis for me and presents me with a list of keywords that I can sort by how hard it will be to rank for them. More on that in a second.
By the way you can check out and try wordtracker here. They offer a free 7 day trial that I highly recommend you take them up on. Set some time aside during those 7 days to run some keyword reports for your niche. You can export them and save them to use them later.
Where the free version of wordtracker only gives you the 100 most popular terms and the Google keyword tool about 150, the paid wordtracker version gives you 1000 keywords. In other words, you get a lot more long tail keywords to work with.
You can also save your keyword lists and organize them by project right within the software interface. This makes it easy to spend some time doing keyword research one day and end up with a huge list of terms to go after by creating website pages, blog posts and articles.
As I mentioned, my favorite part of this software is that it does the competitive analysis for me. I don’t have to check each and every keyword by hand. Instead I click a button and it does it for me. I can then pick the best keywords at a glance.
Here’s what a wordtracker keyword report looks like:
As you can see, you simply enter your keyword (we’re using crockpot cooking again as our example) in the box at the top, and click search. This will result in a list of up to 1000 keywords as well as the amount of searches (in other words how often that particular term is searched for in 24 hours).
Next you can click “Select All” and “get additional metrics”. It will take a few seconds and the end result is the data you see in the last three columns. I like to use keywords that give me a high KEI value, while also paying attention to the “In Anchor and Title” column.
If you are serious about attracting a lot of search engine traffic, and your website or blog is already making more than $100 a month, I would recommend getting a wordtracker subscription. If you’re not quite at that point yet, use one of the free tools, but also consider signing up for the free 7 day trial and make sure you sit down and generate quite a few keyword lists during that time. Then be sure to use all that data (no matter how you collect it) to great more optimized content for your blog or write some more articles that rank high in the search engines.
