I've also held an annual subscription to KWD. Using Wordtracker and KWD I found keywords with sky high KEI, tons of volume and no competition. I optimised, secured the rank and got very little traffic. This caused some concern for me and reinforced my view that 'guessing' search volumes based on engines hardly anybody uses was suspect. When Google started releasing numbers the AdWords tool became a whole lot more useful, KWD even words there marketing to suggest they get real data from Google IMHO. I agree they all have their merits but I don't agree the Google tool is "left for dust" but that's just my opinion ;) d<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('124','Dave Robinson'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('124','Dave Robinson','I used to use Wordtracker exclusively before the AdWords tool started showing numbers.

I don’t know about you but I would not want to miss out on nearly 12% of the market. Traffic volumes can be widely inaccurate at times using the Google tool just try using the new AdWords keyword tool then use the old external one both can show radically different data.

I would say there is no one best tool for the job. What’s wrong with an old fashioned thesaurus?
