Keyword Suggestion Tool based on AOL data

by DazzlinDonna 

Similar in vein to Overture’s and Wordtracker’s keyword suggestion tool, Bad Neighborhood gives us a keyword suggestion tool based on the AOL search data recently released to the public. The tool is interesting in that it estimates the number of searches each of the 3 major engines would have produced during one month, based on those engines’ market share. In addition, the numbers in the Google column are hyperlinked to Google Trends for that phrase during the month of May. Oh, and despite the large size of the database, the tool is FAST. Sweet!

    This leak by AOL was one of the greatest things to affiliate marketers. The leak itself was both humorous and scary, when you look at some of the queries that people search for…

    [...] SEO Scoop spotted a new keyword suggestion tool that estimates the volume of traffic you can expect for a given query based on the AOL data slip up. Basically, the tool has data from March to May of this year, it then takes the market share figures of Google, Yahoo and MSN and multiples that by the AOL search volumes for those queries. Of course, you have the issue of people searching differently at different engines. AOL users are typically less tech savvy, when compared to Google users. So I wonder how accurate the estimates are?

    [...] The release of the AOL data last week caused quite a stir, particularly when the NYTimes did a bit of research to identify a woman, prompting some to speculate that laws could change in the near future. Luckily, some good also came of it, as Donna pointed out this nifty tool which uses the data to predict search query volume. My personal feeling is that companies like Yahoo! and Google shouldn’t be storing this data after 90-120 days. As protected as they believe it might be, if the NSA comes to the door with a court order, any "protection" is null+void. [...]

    [...] SEO Scoop nos anuncia una nueva herramienta de sugerencia de palabras claves (keywords) que calcula el volumen de tráfico que se puede recibir basado en datos de AOL. Básicamente la herramienta toma información de Marzo a Mayo de este año, luego toma el volumen de resultados para ese keyword en Google, Yahoo! y MSN y lo multiplica por el volumen de búsquedas en AOL. Queda aún así el hecho de como la gente busca en diferente forma dependiendo del motor de búsqueda, por ejemplo los usuarios de AOL son menos “técnicos” al buscar con respecto a los de Google. Así que queda en tela de duda lo acertado de los resultados. Archivado en: SEO – Herramientas, AOL   |   Etiquetas: servicios, tips. [...]
