Digital Point Keyword Suggestion Tool Review


by Paul Flyer

Digital Point’s Keyword Suggestion Tool combines data from both Wordtracker and Overture in one tool.

Enter a keyword phrase.
Enter the security code they provide. (This is to prevent spamming. Only need to enter this once per browser session.)
Digital Point returns two columns of data. The first column is Wordtracker and the second column is Overture. Each column is made up of the searched term plus alternative search terms. Next to eacch search term is the potential count. The count is the number of times a term is searched for per day.

Understanding the numbers:

Wordtracker and Overture use different data, thus their numbers are often different. Read my article on keyword popularity research to understand the difference. See also my article on keyword suggestion tools and my review of Wordtracker.

If, for a given keyword, the Wordtracker and Overture data match or are close, then the results are probably accurate. However there is one caveat. Is the Wordtracker data truly per day? A Digital Point Forum post indicates that it is indeed a per day number. However, Wordtracker’s own website indicates that the number is for a two month period. Who to believe? I don’t know as of yet.

Given the anomalies with the numbers, the Digital Point Keyword Suggestion Tool is extremely helpful for finding keywords with traffic. Finding keywords with traffic is a first step in search engine optimization.
