IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT KEYWORD DEMAND SEARCHES:

The current version of the Good Keywords program is temporarily not functional because Yahoo have discontinued its Overture search tool which has till now been the search feature used by Good Keywords and many other keyword tools available.

However, this is not a train smash. There are good alternatives that can be used until the Good Keywords program has been updated.

Here's an extract from the Good Keywords blog - dated 3 July:
 
The Yahoo (previously Overture) search suggestion tool has been dead for quite some time. However, the URL remained alive. Finally it has been given a silent burial by Yahoo.

The link at
inventory.overture.com now redirects to the Yahoo Small Business website.

The Overture based keyword suggestion tool in Good Keywords has not been working ever since the Overture tool went dead. Now that it is fully buried we will be updating Good Keywords and replacing the keyword suggestion tool in it with a basic version derived from our Keyword Strategy Studio.

OUR SUGGESTIONS FOR KEYWORD DEMAND SEARCHES

Check The principles covered in our Chapter 2 of our book are still totally valid. Until Good Keywords has been updated, simply use any of the other tools available for collecting 'keyword demand' statistics, including those mentioned in the TIP box at the bottom of page 22 in the book. Here are some other useful tools that can be used too:
  Dot  Keyword Discovery
  Dot  SEO Tools
  Dot  Wordtracker
Check We'll update these notes once Softnik have made the necessary changes to their Good Keywords program.
Check You can also visit the Good Keywords website blog at http://blog.softnik.com for more information and ideas.
Check Read the posts, particularly the one dated July 9, 2008 referring to the Google Keyword Tool.
Check Take a tour of the Good Keywords website at http://www.goodkeywords.com to see what else is available from Softnik.
