Check the details of this story. Wordtracker are planning: much larger database of real searches; using ’allinanchor’ as a quick measure of competition for keywords (bye bye KEI); and providing a measure of ’commercial intent’. They want you to give your opinions on these ideas.
"Starting with our 365 day metacrawler dataset which will now include single searches. Did you know that adding single searches increases the number of unique keywords from 21,658,982 to 197,374,808 unique keywords? That’s 9 times as many."I really didnt realize that signle searchers were not included in the first place. I guess it makes sense not to, but considering that close to 25% or more (from Google) searches are happening for the first time and probably not again, that is large chunk of data to not include.
The biggest improvement I would like to see is accuracy in data. Or the relationship between keyword numeric value. I know you will never be able to tell me how many hits I will get from a keyword on Google, but I would hope you can get somewhere closer than you are now. Using Google Keyword Tool, their numbers are light years away from what you project as keyword volume. If you took a list a keyword from Google Tool and compared that with the traffic volume from your tool. The two dont look "relatively" the same at all. In the WT case you would have over half the keywords as getting zero clicks where in the Google example you could see 100% projected clicks for all the terms.They might as well be looking at two completely different data sets.
@Nunney Is Wordtracker moving away from using KEI, entirely? If so, why?
