Death of the Most Popular Keyword Research Tool

Ever since about 2010 changes have gradually been made to the Adwords Keyword Tool, most likely because access and use of the tool is being restricted to people who are actually paying for advertising. It has gotten to the point that this tool is pretty much completely useless for keyword research of any kind, including search volume of keywords.

• The accuracy of keyword search volume with the Adwords Keyword Tool has always been in question where as the Bing data is more on point.
• The Bing keyword tool has so many features that Adwords Keyword Tool has gradually done away with.
