I wonder if it's accurate. And is there anyway we can check its accuracy. Who would trust KD or WT when they get it second hand and Google publishes it first hand?

Well, this is a welcome addition. Those little green bars used to drive me nuts. I always wondered why Google was not forthcoming with better numbers. Others like Wordtracker were.

This is fantastic news. Do you think this will hurt paid tools like Keyword Discovery?

Google just keeps 'em coming! This is definitely a step up, third party keyword research tools are going to feel the squeeze with this new functionality added to the free Google keyword tool.

Just make sure that you use Match Type: Exact and you will get very accurate data compared to organic clicks for 1-2 spots.

Adwords can be a bear to figure out, so hopefully the accuracy of the analytical tool is right on!

About time indeed. It's getting closer to what a marketer needs, which is near real-time data. But that obviously would take quite a bit of server time.

For those getting into it, it makes a little more sense now though.

Has anyone noticed if their bars match up and make sense across the board?

Thank goodness! I've been waiting for this data for years. Vague, part-filled-in bars don't cut the mustard when trying to pitch stuff to clients.

Great stuff. I am happy to see that Google is addressing what the market wants. It should only serve to make them more dominant. Great post.

Nice addition but it would've been so useful to have it available in the 'edit keywords and CPC' view as well, along with the potential clicks/day. Still, a step forward to better campaign planning.

I agree that you shouldn't abandon you favorite keyword research tool David. It will be interesting to see the numbers side by side. I've always looked at them as relative and not absolute anyway so this will be a great additional tool.

Good! Google updated the tool but not the help icon. Try to mouse-over the help icon or take a look at the screen-shot below, it still describes about the previous shaded bar...

I've been reading, and hearing, these are more than approximate, they're pretty darn accurate.

bout time.

Thanks for the post.
