Absolutely NOT RECOMMENDED! It is absolutely useless. Some time ago my coworker purchased it and today I decided to test this much talked about Keyword Elite. After downloading the most up-tp-date version I ran Project 4 and it never (NEVER) exported created report. Why would anybody want a software that doesn't work?!
Off hand I would suspect that you don't know how to configure it properly, or you coworker didn't. If you don't know how to turn a light switch on, don't blame it on a bad bulb. Did you read the documentation? Watch the videos? We need to be fair about this. I purchased it a long time ago. Back when Google did not give numbers, just graphs for the search results. In fact, it was back when Overture (Yahoo) had a search engine Since Google started posting figures I found I did not need it anymore. If you watch the videos, and read the manual, you will learn that this tool is basically a time saver. A serious marketer will have (and need ) a tool like this. This tool will do with a click of the mouse what it takes someone an hour or more to do by manually creating ad groups. Again, a time saver. It needs to be configured and told what to do. To be honest, the Google Search results have been so over inflated it is unreal. Compare the Google results with other free keyword tools and you will see that google results are normally tripled compared to other tools. Can't really trust any of them. Zeek Toe--No offense intended etc. It just sounds like you "borrowed" your friends tool and did not bother to learn how it works. It makes it difficult to offer a fair assessment if you haven't given it a fair shot..
I not only did this, but had some conversations with their support. By the way, the need to learn how to talk to users, because the answer for my email was: "we are sorry, but neither I, nor our programmer, nor Brad know how to fix the problem". Great, isn't it?
