Legacy Google Keyword Tool now Gone?

[Brassneck]

Looks like the legacy version of the Google keyword tool has gone. Not sure if it is for good or just a temporary thing.

Good riddance and an end to annoying confusion hopefully.

As suspected...

"In addition to these improvements, we’ve also changed how we calculate Global Monthly Searches and Local Monthly Searches. Statistics in these columns are now based on Google.com search traffic only. Previously, they also included traffic from search partners. We've updated these statistics based on advertiser feedback, and hope you find them more helpful for keyword selection."

Would be nice if you could just get results for the keywords you enter as per the old tool rather than getting suggestions as well though.

Well, since they changed legacy to the new tool this evening, it no longer works on Opera browser, and I can't be arsed downloading FireFox just so I can use it, so bye bye keyword tool.

The old keyword tool you could garner a lot of info concerning domain names. The new one doesn't allow me to do the things I used to do. Shame.

Most browsers redirect from https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?forceLegacy=true to the new tool, I'm not sure if their is another link out there that works for the old keyword tool?
