This is the second article in our "NicheFinder vs. Others" series.

WordTracker is the oldest, and by far, the most famous keyword research tool. It uses the requests database collected by MetaCrawler and other Infospace meta search engines.

WordTracker's most useful feature is that, unlike most other tools, it counts different word forms (singular / plural, etc.) separately. It makes it a good addition to other tools.

Unfortunately, WordTracker charges their customers repeatedly, and it costs hundreds of dollars annually. So, it is probably only reasonable to use for professionals who earn their living on keyword research.

With NicheFinder, you pay once, and can do an unlimited amount of keyword research for years to come. Plus, you receive free upgrades, as we add more features.

WordTracker has the smallest number of additional features, compared to any other keyword research software. You can't do much more than see the 3 basic figures for each keyword.

NicheFinder allows you to see the number of paid listings in Overture and Google, and find creative keywords at many different sites, to name a few advanced features. We are continuously adding new ones, and remember, the upgrades are free.

There are different opinions about which database is better for keyword research. Some experts argue (and we agree) that Overture database, which we use in NicheFinder, has a larger market reach, and thus, more precise and useful results.

Keyword lists generated by NicheFinder are bigger and more creative than you can get with WordTracker. You must see this for yourself - download the free demo and try.
