I find that the market leap link tool is really addictive to me but I do wonder exactly what Morten was talking about with the quotes and I’m not using the quotes any more because it really doesn’t tell you if your on the first page or does it?

I don’t get it – great post by the way,
Using Wordze for a keyword string (using exact search) I get about 6000 searches a month – not a lot I know, but anyway. The KEI says 0.01 which would indicate strong competition on the string compared to the number of searches – right?
But when I search Google – the same string WITH quotes – I only get 1 (one) result!
Searching Yahoo and MSN shows a little more (300 or so).
How does that add up? Why is the KEI so low? What am I missing (apart from money and the love of my life)?

hi guys, nice post.
Chanya, i was alarmed at GTrends’ figures too! It says for example 2,000 people a day search for a particular term, but then that position #1 at google would only give you about ~5 visitors a day! (almost enough to make me throw all my website development away).
But Mark’s figures made me feel better – it seems he was getting about half or a quarter of Wordtracker’s total search numbers being on position 1-2.
Which makes me wonder – are they way underestimating the number of searches in the first place? Or is it true that 1995 out of 2000 people don’t click on the first google response?

Hi Chanya

i’ve been using it in conjunction with the Adwords tool – i can’t compare it to seo elite (which I really should get) – but it works for me.

as Vic mentioned in his last vlog about backlinks, he now looks at his competitors backlinks, PR, & other info and if he thinks he can compete with them, he goes for it. I think thats really important too.

MARK: Are you using the regular free Wordtracker tool or the free GTrends tool from Wordtracker? GTrends provides 2 bar graphs:

1. Google Competition
2. Actual Visitors From #1 in Google Per Day

I just started using it and have found the “Actual Visitors” chart to be somewhat accurate.

Here it is: Wordtracker’s GTrends Tool. Enter the keywords, press Enter, and then click on the multi-colored bar graph to the right of the keyword.

I’d be interested to know if others have used this tool and how accurate they think it is.

Thank you for posting this as I hate keyword research, it seems to take up so much time and then you still mightn’t have a hungry niche. and relate closely to what Colin is saying.

If there is a simple way let me know
