How To Use Google To Do The Best Keyword Research For Free

With a recent new version of the External Keyword Tool for Adwords from Google we can now see search volumes for any keyword returned by this tool when we are performing keyword research. Because Google owns the most popular search engine they also have the biggest database of searched for keywords and this fact means this news is extremely important for all internet marketers.

Before this new release all involved in affiliate and internet marketing would have had to use a paid keyword research service, such as Keyword Discovery, Wordtracker, Wordze or Keyword Elite to create their keyword lists. The trouble with these services has always been that the amount of data they collect is small in comparison to what Google sees. On the other hand the number of searches recorded by Google is massive compared to what these traditional keyword services provide.

Up until now all the keyword research tool services available have just tried to estimate search volumes from the little data that they have, but at best these were only really best guesses and probably have never been very accurate. With no other tools showing anything any more accurate they are what have been used for years.

The Google Adwords external keyword tool has changed all this as it now displays key phrase search volumes that are not calculated, but which are taken directly from real search volume data gathered by Google from their own search engine. Now anyone performing keyword research can get all the data they need directly from Google, which will be much more accurate than that provided by the paid keyword research services.

What is more Google provides all this keyword data for free! Although designed originally for use just with Adwords by affiliate marketer this external keyword tool, as it is known, is available for anyone to use totally free. Once you know the link or URL you can just go straight to the tool and use it whenever you want.

Many top internet marketers in the industry are claiming this as the biggest thing that has happened to internet marketing for a very long time. For once it seems that Google is giving something back. Of course there are also many cynics out there who question why Google has done this and there are others who question the accuracy of the search data Google has revealed. Early checks have shown that in may cases the data is fairly accurate, but only time will tell as more analysis on these new results is completed.

The fact hat this free keyword tool also now has different versions for each country means that you can now do accurate keyword research, with search volumes included, for countries such as the UK, Canada or Australia. This now makes the Adwords external keyword tool the best tool for accurate UK keyword research.

This is extremely useful as the paid keyword research tools are not good at providing this localized information and remember again that it is free!
