New Google Keyword Tool - SKTool
I just noticed this one and I assume it's new. I like it ... oh shit I like and and what I like most is the lack of captcha. I'm digging into it now and so should you. First thing I noticed is that raw output is much lighter then the old captcha tool used to generate. That had 250KB - 1MB outputs per query but this one is light hence easier on their servers. The digg down categories are also superb. Look into them as they will help a lot. This will be the Mecca of niche discovery.
I like how things are going with Google. They seem to open up more and more. I will find some evilness in this move but not right now. I'm currently enjoying it!
well, it’s not a replacement .. it’s something entirely different
Yeah! But combining keyword lists from this one and traffic details from the old one… a lot can be done.
But you’re right. It’s not a replacement.
yep, thats the way it should be used I guess.. but the categories are indeed nice, especially if you’re working with those semantics :)
Tool’s a nice find - matching pages with the ‘extracted from webpage’ column is a good feature, as is category drill down, might set the niche wolves out on this one see what a days hunting finds.
The tool looks very promising and has been released one month ago (see website).
@Marchionni: Probably. I don’t read the Google Blogs. Too much FUD! It’s like bad news. You feel better when you’re not exposed to them.
On the other hand I use the Captcha one very successfully ;) I do like the categories on this one though.
The old one needs an initial seed/site but with this one you can start from scratch.
Thanks for finding this new tool, it’s absolute dynamite for new product I’ll be launching soon.
I’ve extracted all 52,000 keywords with data from the categories listed on the SKTool and put the CSV for download on my blog if anyone wants it. I’ll try and keep it updated regularly, doesn’t take long to run.
Go easy on them. We don’t want a captcha … do we? :)
