Most people now these days are using the overture keyword tool. Because of their big success the website is most of the time down. When you are busy with a new project you don’t want to wait, to research and discover new keywords. Again most webmasters like the overture keyword tool, because it is completely free. But there are other keyword suggestion tools out there, but most webmasters stay with overture keyword tool because of their habits.
So let me convince you not to use overture keyword tool anymore, there are other great free keyword suggestion tools out there. Webmasters will try to identify the most searched keywords with overture. But the data the overture keyword tool uses is not from the search engine where you are doing keyword research for. Maybe people are searching for different keywords on google than on overture. Most experienced webmasters (like me! ) only use google, while ordinary people with minimal computer and internet experience are using other search engines. So possibly the overture keyword tool is giving you a bad picture about what people are searching for on google. With google as number one search engine your starting point, overture keyword tool for keyword research is bad.
Google has his own keyword tool which is based on the data of themselves. With the google adwords keywordtool, you can do good keyword research based on the search queries from the google searchers. Another great advantage of the google keyword tool is that it’s always online! Overture keyword tool is almost always dead…
Google keyword tool gives you more information about keywords and synonyms than overture keyword tool does. If you enter a keyword in google keywordtool it gives you a list of relevant keywords also basic on the search engine algorithm. When you use this relevant keywords on your webpage or article, your website will receiving more value, so maybe higher ranking. The overture keyword tool possible will give you bad relevant keywords.
Better synonyms are another nice feature of the google keyword tool in comparison with overture keyword tool. With these synonyms I maybe get a better long tail keyword from my keyword, with less competition. Which means easier high ranking on a long tail keyword.
I don’t want to kill the whole overture keyword tool, but it is being killed by his own success. And my experience is that it is a better idea to use google tools to rank on google, than using third party tools like overture keyword tool. Google know what it wants to see on your website, and knows what people are searching for, and what is relevant. The overture keyword tool doesn’t know all this information.
