Keyword Traffic Estimator Tools
-
Hello,
I'm relatively new to SEO and looking to find a good tool for estimating the search traffic volume of different keywords in order to focus efforts on higher yielding terms. Right now I'm using Google's traffic estimator but it doesn't seem to have much data for long-tail keywords. Is anything else out there better or more accurate?
Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion, but did you ever tried it by yourself. I had tried their service and the research tool didn't show me any results. Moreover I am targeting Latin America(separately each country...) and they targets only a few country..... Thanks for the response, Anyone else, any option...

Have you tried WordTracker? They offer "Search Count":
“Search Count (new tool):
For the Wordtracker data, the Search count is the number of times each keyword appears in our database of searches over the past 365 days. This constitutes just under 1% of all US search, and the data is gathered from metacrawler.com and dogpile.com.The database is updated every day, and new data is between 15 and 30 hours old when it hits the live servers. If you’re searching using the Google data, the information presented is from the Google AdWords API. It’s Exact Match data by default, and the search volumes are from the last available month (in real terms this normally means the last calendar month).
There’s currently no indication from Google about their sample size for this data, or what kind of extrapolation may be applied to the data before it’s presented. There is a limit of 1,000 searches per month on the Google data – this is to ensure we can give an even service to all of our users.”

They offer a pretty good tutorial on how to use their tool to find profitable niches: http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/finding-profitable-keywords-just-got-easier
You can get the basic "WordTracker Count" (WT) metric for free from several different tools online, SEOBook.com's Keyword Tool among them: http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/

I don't know of a better source for long-tail keywords (though I sympathize, there's not a whole lot of traffic data out there for rc model warship combat related keywords!). Would love to see anyone chime in.
There have actually long been complaints about the accuracy of the Adwords keyword tool. For some interesting discussion, see http://www.davidnaylor.co.uk/google-adwords-keyword-tool-the-difference-explained.html and the previous posts he links to. A speaker on AdWords at a conference last year said that the AdWords Keyword Tool should be on a Fiction bestseller list somewhere.

With Google traffic estimator / keyword Tool you get the data from the SE itself.
Which is all the more reason not to trust it!
if you don't have data for long tail keywords that is probably because the search for those terms is very low as far as volume.
Because Google only now reports on keywords that make them money
There can't / won't be another better source for this kind of data.
Your own analytics are the only thing that will give you a truly accurate data set, however I appreciate that it's not predictive for the most part For future reference as well, once you have top rankings for something always compare it against what you thought you would get and judge for yourself how accurate the tool is.
Anyway, yes, use the tool it's still one of the best resources you have access to.

I personally use this tool alone for this type of work.

..just my opinion but again, even if you find a source that can show you other # i think it's practically impossible to be accurate.
Hope it helps at least to enforce what you are using and put your mind to ease.

I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?
For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

Optimizing for close keyword variants
I am planning my seo project using Moz tools. I am finding keywords that are close to each other. What is the best way to optimize? If I made a page for each of the close words, it would pretty much be duplicate content. Is it best to go ahead and make a page for each and try to make content a bit different? How different does it have to be? Or, would i try to use the different versions of the keyword on one good page. Thank you!

Google keywords
I'm having trouble understanding how google determines out of my text what are the keywords and what aren't. Is there somewhere I can go that will tell me what google sees as my dominant keywords and I'd like to see my total keyword list too. We are running eCommerce and I don't think it is picking up on everything we expected it to see as keywords. I'm pretty new to this SEO stuff but I'm trying to learn. Any help would be appreciated. I understand I'm suppose to include important words in my page titles, headers and meta description and use effective markup as well so I'm just a bit lost on how I can actually see what google counts as my keywords and their level of power/importance. If this isn't possible if anyone has any suggestions on how to gauge this, I'm open to ideas! Thanks in advance guys!
