Wordtracker Adds UK Keywords Option To Keyword Tools

Feb 13, 2007 at 9:12am ET by Barry Schwartz

Wordtracker, a very popular keyword tool used by search marketers, has added UK keywords to their existing tools. This means, those wanting to target the UK region, will have an option to specify UK keywords only and will be shown related keywords based on that data.

How does Wordtracker gather such information? Wordtracker’s Andy Mindel said: “We collect uncompressed log files from the ISPs. From these we extract the keywords from the major engines including Google, Yahoo, AOL and MSN amongst others, leaving just over 4% of the original files.” They then go through these log files, extract data and clean it up.

Now, if they’d just take a larger view of the world – like 365 days or so…

I spoke with them today and they did mention that they hadn’t expected to launch it this early and the UK inventory is very small.

As with WordTracker you can also try the KeywordDiscovery – Keyword Research Tool which had last year released a much bigger UK keyword database.

So if you are after more UK keyword data with historical trends from June 2006 onwards check out KeywordDiscovery.

Cheers
