The new SEO Book keyword tool operates like the old one, but with the following improvements
- We now have a CSV export option at the top of the results. And it is pretty sweet! It lists keyword, WordTracker count, daily estimates for the big 3 engines, and broad and phrase match versions of each keyword :)
- Because Wordtracker's business model relies on selling keyword data, they have a vested interest in keeping it as clean and reliable as possible, and are unlikely to pull a Yahoo
- Wordtracker does not tokenize plural words into their singular versions, so you get to see volumes for both singular and plural to know which is more popular. In fact, if you search for the plural they will still return the singular
- Wordtracker does not arbitrarily alter the word order like the Overture did
- Wordtracker's API is much more reliable than grabbing the data from Overture was
- Wordtracker's API allows you to filter out adult keywords.
Yahoo! Search Marketing offers a developer API, but given how rough their transition away from their old keyword tool was, I would much rather use a reliable market leading tool like Wordtracker. Please give it a spin and let me know what you think.
Recommendation: If you don't mind investing a couple bucks into in-depth keyword research, make sure you try the paid version of Wordtracker with all the added features and benefits they offer.
Many Thin Affiliate Sites Look Real

Assume I am only skimming your page. Assume the little things matter.
