SEO MotionZ Forum

In my early days of marketing I used keyword planner extensively. They were free to us, gave detailed information about any kw entered, gave kw ideas and much more. Over the time I started using paid tools such as wordstream as because paid tools its is easier to send and file reports.

I haven't used the kw planner in the recent years. Now a couple of days earlier I tried to use it. I am just speechless how bad it has gotten now. I mean you can't even do a proper search without google asking you to search a campaign. And the searches they are the worse ones. The thing I noticed that if you don't start a campaign then  it will probably show you wrong the results of kw's entered.

Actually its been quite some time now.

We have switched from it a while back. Yeah, its disappointing but can you blame google??

They are just trying to make money for them, their employees and share holders.

Its just an earning tool for Google now.

Google will require a campaign before you can use keyword planner but from the good old days you can directly access GKP with your all in one account in Google.

Earlier it was easy to use keyword planner but now everything has changed. Google just want to earn money now.

You can use 'keyword everywhere' tool for keyword research.

You can also use the Google trend to find out the Keywords.

I think one of the best tools for keyword research is Ahref keyword explorer.

Wordstream is the best. Ahref can be messy for newbies.
