NicheBOT switches to Keyword Discovery


by Paul Flyer

I noticed that Nichebot has recently switched from Wordtracker to Keyword Discovery. I have heard other rumblings about others making a similar switch. I am currently re-reviewing Keyword Discovery and hope to have something posted within the next two weeks.

I have written about the limitations of keyword tools in my keyword popularity research and keyword suggestion tools articles. It will be interesting to watch to see if this is the beginning of the end for Wordtracker unless of course they can reinvent themselves. It will be also interesting to see if the rest of the keyword analysis world goes through fundamental (and hopefully beneficial) changes.

UPDATE 2/9/2006: Nichebot retains Wordtracker. See comment below and this post.

    Hey Paul,

    Thanks for letting your subscribers know about
    Keyword Discovery being switched on the front end
    of NicheBOT.com.

    Actually, this was NOT a switch out, but rather,
    a miscommunication between NicheBOT and WordTracker.

    Apparently, a day after I sent out notice about
    the Keyword Discovery update, WordTracker wrote
    us and told us that NicheBOT’s connection to
    WordTracker was faulty and they gave us proper
    instructions to fix it, which has now been done.

    If you are on our update list, you would have
    received this important update.

    We then restored the WordTrackerr tool to
    the following URL right here:

    http://www.nichebot.com/wt/

    So everything is alive and well with both
    WordTracker and Keyword Discovery, and the
    Overture tool is there as well.

    In fact, I think WT and KD are two separate
    distinct type of keyword services. One is good
    for short term cycles of keywords while the
    other is good for long term cycles of keywords
    that reflect results over the the past 12 months.
    Each service has its highlights and advantages,
    so it really depends on the type of keyword research
    an individual wishes to conduct as to which flavor
    of keyword service to use.

    Either way, I think both keyword services are
    still very viable in today’s keyword research
    market.

    Best,

  2. » NicheBOT offers Keyword Discovery and WordTracker :: Recommended Web Tools comments:

    [...] I just received a comment on my post about Nichebot switching to Keyword Discovery from Jim Morris, owner of Nichebot. In short, NicheBOT is not switching but adding! They will now offer analysis from three tools: Keyword Discovery, Wordtracker and Overture. I will blockquote the pertinent parts of his comment here for easy reference. It explains the whole matter. I think his comments are right about using both Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery. Each serves a particular function and purpose. [...]
