Google Keyword Tool is Being Sunsetted
-
I was reading this article http://adwords.blogspot.de/2013/05/introducing-keyword-planner-combining.html that says that Google is going to be sunsetting it's popular keyword tool. As an SEO specialist, I use this tool daily, so I'm concerned about it's impact on my keyword research efforts.
I reviewed the keyword planner (albeit quite quickly) and it doesn't seem to work as efficiently for SEO keyword research. I'm curious to get others thoughts on the following:
- The new keyword planner tool
- Will the new keyword planner tool be effective for SEO keyword research
- Are there other tools that you've used that have provided good keyword research data (and are they free or paid)

Hey Eric,
Try Ubbersuggest (http://ubersuggest.org/)
We use this and find it a huge time saver! We populate our list and then plug it into Adwords keyword tool for traffic and competition estimates. If you're only concerned with suggestions and if they auto-complete though, Ubersuggest will do the trick!

Thanks Andie,
I am a pro member, but the keyword difficulty tool has two drawbacks; you can only do 5 keywords at a time; two it doesn't provide recommendations.

Updating the Google Knowledge Graph....any hard answers on how to do this?
We are trying to update the Google Knowledge graph for one our clients. We would like to have company founding date, CEO's name and founder name in the knowledge graph. This information is already included in their wikipedia entry. Where else can we make changes to update this knowledge graph? Is their structured data option for founding dates, CEO/founder names? Should we include this information in their Google+ profile? We are using the publisher tag. We are not sure how to update the freebase account.

How to count number of app's installations for users who install app from https://play.google.com?
The task is to find out which banner on my site provides more installations of the game. The banners' urls link directly (refferal source in the url is specified) to the game page on https://play.google.com. Google Analytics and Google Play are connected but I've faced the problem that Google Analytics counts only visitors who install app via Google Play app so visitors from the banners to play.google.com aren't counted at all. That's the question, is there any way to count visitors to the app page on play.google.com and to count the number of installations by these visitors ?

How Popular is Google Image Search?
Are there any stats on the volume of searches through Google's Image Search? My assumption is that more users are turning to image search to shop but I haven't found any supporting data. I know that click-throughs to site have fallen after Google's recent changes to the UI but still just interested in initial search volume.

Google Places Citation Differences
Hi All... I know its important to get citations the same in terms of company name, address, phone number and URL but how dissimilar can they be before this causes problems with Google Places? One of my clients has citations with very minor differences to the correct address i.e.: 2a such and such a road when it should be: 2 such and such a road I cannot see duplicate listing for the company. Anyone got any ideas / experience of this? I don't want to suggest changing them all if its not nessasary? Cheers in advance. Justin

International Competitive Research Tool
We were recently tasked with finding out the traffic information for international versions of a particular website. We use tools such as Compete and SEMrush, but these are only based on US visitors to those international sites. Is there a tool out there where you can actually see competitive search data in specific countries?
