Wow - big news from Google for Marketers
Jul 10th 2008
I just got this email from my friend Ewen Chia. Pretty big news.
Hi Harris,
Thanks for being my joint venture partner!
I’ve more good products coming up for you to promote
and make money with and will update you soon…
Today I just want to tell you about a new change in adwords which will be good news to most of us.
Something big happened in the internet marketing world this morning and you need to know about it…
Google have done something which they said they’d never do, and it probably spells the “end” for services like Wordtracker.
Here’s the summary…
- If you’ve ever used Google Adwords you’ll know they always represented search volume for a keyword by a rating out of 5.
This morning they scrapped that, and started showing ACTUAL SEARCH VOLUME for keywords.
Now Wordtracker keyword volumes have always been accused of being wildly inaccurate because they make predictions from only 2-3% of actual search activity.
So now that Google has made a change, more accurate search volume is finally available.
Go try it out here, enter a keyword and you’ll see Google’s estimate of actual search volume - and
this is great news for us internet marketers!

How does this affect your keyword and market research?
Now you can be absolutely sure of the size of a niche because there’s no more need to make wild guesses about search volume
Hope you find this useful.
Talk soon Harris.
To Your Success!
Ewen
