Just two days after I was venting my frustration with the Overture keyword selector, SearchEngineWatch posted about Wordtracker’s new free keyword suggestion tool.  Though the tool provides hard numbers on keyword search volume, the calculation is somewhat crude (I don’t think the searches done on dogpile and metacrawler are a very good representation of searches done on more popular search engines).   

That being said, I think this was a smart move by Wordtracker.  Thousands like me used overture’s (Yahoo’s) tool and miss it.  Wordtracker’s tool will now be the go-to tool for keyword volume and many of those users will signup for a paying account.
