Microsofts Commercial Intent Tool and Google's Traffic Stats

Email Updates

What's this world coming to?

Just recently there have been 2 developments that have made research and analysis better.

MS released earlier this year a tool that gives you a gravity reading of how worthwhile a keyword is for commercial use. There have already been a couple of tools that have integrated the data such as Marketing Samurai.

Google Sandbox has also decided to get rid of the graphs and replaced it with specific numbers. According to the Gurus, these are actual numbers and even if they we not 100% accurate it gives you a much better reference regarding traffic that can be expected.

I have used Wordtracker, Keyword Elite and a handful of other tools to do keyword research. Every year it seems the bar is raised and today, right now my favorite tool of choice has to be Market Samuri. It's still in BETA, I have had the privilege of previewing it before the 30 Day Challenge and it's now my favorite tool for keyword and seo research.

That means I am using SEO Elite and IBP secondary to the Samurai but then of course it may just be because I am in the 30 Day Challenge Frenzy. Either way, you owe it to yourself to check it out if your messing with Internet Marketing, SEM, SEO or just playing with Adsense and Affiliate Marketing.
