    Hi All;

    Why are the results between google keyword tool and word tracker(free version) so different
    "Business loans" in Word tracker has only 161 counts over 160 days but the word in Google keyword tool has 550,000 counts in one month

    Regards
    SEOX

    It's been said that Google calculates the amount of click's from it's partners and sums everything up. Make sure you tick EXACT search on Google keyword tool if you want to look at more realistic results.

    No - actually he is right... These days free version of Wordtracker really sucks... it's showing v.pathetic results that are NOT accurate... especially competition figures are really messed up...

    I recommend that you use only google keyword tool - or paid version of wordtracker or micro niche finder or IBP :)

    They use different databases. Google of course uses their results, but Wordtracker uses the results from the meta searchengines. Another reason is that Wordtracker is organic, while Google's tool is for their Adwords advertisers and probably combines the search and content network. Wordtracker is also daily while Google is monthly.

    google keywords tool is the best keyword research tool out there. I mean look at your keyword, it is a HUGE keyword ! I doubt that it only got searched 161x in 160 days. That keyword probably gets more searches than that per month because remember that the Google keywords tool only shows the amount of searches per month performed on the Google search engine.

    Google keyword tool is based on Google data. Wordtracker gathers its data from meta search engines, so its like comparing apples with oranges.

    Try working on both the tools for a period of time. You will find the difference yourself over a period of time. Each tool has its own benefits and its just like you are provided an option to choose which suits to best of your needs. I had a similar confusion during earlier stages. But now i feel comfortable with both and ya i use them according to my needs

    Well, I use SerpAnalytics and it is working fine for me in terms of accuracy, I would say it is better than Google Adwords tool.

    Goolge Keyword Tool and also Google Insight Search both are nice tool to find keywords but when you find keyword in another tool like word tracker so you show different result with this tool.

    There are many different tools out there that are used to determine the best keywords for your site as well as judge their competition and monthly searches. These tools are built keeping in mind different factors so a difference in the results can be expected. No tool is perfect and no tool is worthless. It pays off if you listen to the results of every tool.
