I took it one step further after learning that WT did not really give real results and was based off irrelevant evidence. I began to browse the web for other peoples problems with WT. To view some of the articles I read on WT please click on the below links:

As you can clearly see WT gives false results and does not provide the researcher with correct results. This can be very frustrating and I do not want anyone to go through the trouble I went through and then see lack of results once listed on Google. Also, I would like to stress that you do not need to waste any of you money on any kind of keyword research tool. There are ones that are free and accurate.

Ever since Google started showing the actual numbers, I've noticed that all the numbers are over inflated. Google would show 6600 hits and Wordtracker about 600. Can't really believe either one.

I think it's important to get your keyword research from a few sources. Many times Google has 'no data' or shows me the price of a keyword is low - and these values don't help me. So even if WT is inaccurate, it's still results - we just don't know who's truly correct - and does it matter? I check quoted results to see how popular a term is too :)

Wow! I've been using Wordtracker's free keyword tool for quite some time now. I have noticed that there is a difference between WT's results and Google's. I'll just stick with the Google tool from now on. Thanks!
