new google adwords tool

buttontop · 28-09-2010, 01:13:58 PM

Hi i have been using the old adwords tool for a rough idea on exact searches, i redid a number of searches and all seem to be coming up ALOT lower than it said before. it is me? is it the new tool? whats going on? does anyone have a link to the old site that i could use? Thanks

The old tool used to be here https://adwords.google.com/select/Ke...rceLegacy=true but a few days ago Google killed it completely so only the new keyword tool to use now.

I had a look at the new tool last night and I can't work it out, prefer the old drop down menus on the old tool and can't figure out how to get it to serve up results for only the terms you enter, without it giving loads of other related keywords, anyone know how to do that?

[edit]

Advanced options > Ideas containing my search terms

Although even this seems to serve up a few more keywords than it did a few days a go...

Something has got to be up with it, everything has dropped by like 20k

New one is pants from a usability point of view... slow and very unwieldy when you want to find results for a handful of keyphrases - cos you can't do that! (unless someone can tell me you can... I tried the Advanced - but that only reduces to phrases with the [exact] in which for 'used cars' / 'motorbikes' etc. is silly... ).

I can't even use the new keyword tool because my pc freezes when I visit the site

I'm working blind at the moment.

Tell you what though, it forces me to concentrate on the quality/saleability of a name rather than getting wrapped up in the "exact" search figures.

So instead of regging thishasloadsofexacts.org.uk I am more likely to
reg shortncool.co.uk.
I'll save money though because I'll end up with a few duff .co.uk's
rather than loads of duff .org.uk's
