WordTracker Review

Intro:
Alright, it used to be that you'd never hear the word, "keywords"
without the word, "WordTracker" used in the same sentence. 
Wordtracker used to be, without a doubt, the tool you needed to
make the 'college try' for the right keywords.  It's a U.K.-based
company and product, proving that the Brits know their stuff.  But
is it still the only tool to have?  Read on...

Price:
Since WordTracker is subscription-based, the prices vary from one-
day access for around 8 bucks to a week for $27, a month for $55,
and a year (best deal) for $275.

Cons:
The subscription-based pricing.

Pros:
The subscription-based pricing, for one.  If you plan a project or
three ahead of time, you can do your keyword research and save the
results.  Then, using your saved results, work on the 3 or 10 sites
that you have researched throughout the year.  (During which time
you're not paying the WordTracker subscription--'cause you signed
up for only a week, for instance.)
 
As long as the websites you're working on aren't built around a
temporary theme--like Madonna's new movie, for instance, your
saved keyword research results should be good for at least a year--
probably more.

The screenshot below shows the depth of functions you get with your
WordTracker subscription.  (And remember, you can subscribe only
long enough to knock out your research.  Then cancel and spend
the next however-many months building your profitable website(s).)

More:
Also, the reason why WordTracker is subscription-based is because
they are continually doing keyword research themselves, updating
their database so as to provide you with the latest and greatest
info.  And, let's face it, in the web business world, the selection
of keywords can make or break your business.  You can get away
with somewhat shoddy-looking websites or ad copy that isn't perfect,
but if you neglect to put your best foot forward on your keyword
research, you will be finished before you even get started.
 
It's that critical.

WordTracker is still the go-to source for keyword research for many.
Although it's marketed as a "tool," it's also the number one "source" in
the same way that Google is a search source as much as a search tool. 
With that in mind, a focused keyword research tool--like Keyword Elite--
will benefit greatly from being able to query WordTracker's database. 

As a matter of fact, WordTracker and Keyword Elite form an awesome
combination with no equal.  (Keyword Elite is designed to query
WordTracker's database...it's not required, but it's designed to make
full use of any good keyword database--including its own.)

But, like any combination of tools in your garage, you still have to
know how to use them in order to get the results you're shooting for;
if Keyword Elite represents a gun, then WordTracker is the bullet...
You--the shooter--have to know how to use and aim the gun to hit
your target...

Which means doing something that may be totally against your nature:
Following the directions! ;)

Personally:
Get Keyword Elite and subscribe to WordTracker.  But you can first
just sign up for WordTracker's Free trial, before committing any bucks.
Don't skimp on this area of your online career.  This is the area that
will pay your bills and allow you to quit your day job. (Along with linking
strategies if you're looking at organic search results--but start with
good, quality keyword research.)
