Google’s Keyword Tool Gets Real Volume Data
On July - 9 - 2008
Someone on the WickedFire forums pointed out that Google’s Keyword External tool now had actual search volume data. Before all it had was a green bar, which didn’t give any useful information. Now it gives the actual number of searches per month (estimate), which is exponentially more valuable. Take a look:
This is definitely one of my favorite keyword/research tools and is listed in the research section of my Internet Business Guide. If you haven’t used this tool yet I highly suggest taking a look. You can get everything from keyword suggestions to CPC prices and now relatively accurate search volume.

That is totally awesome. It makes the tool much more valuable. Thanks for the heads up. I also like to use the free version of gtrends at http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends it estimates the number of visitors to the number one spot in google.
wordtracker is cool. had an account for a while but let it expire.
Yeps! Have seen this one just yesterday and been waiting for someone to confirm it. Does it really make that much of a difference mat?
Thanks!
hey kirby,
yea it makes a big difference. instead of an irrelevant green bar that doesnt give any valuable information, we can now see the exact (rounded to the thousand) number of searches a specific term gets.
