There are dozens, if not hundreds, of decent keyword tools out there. Give 'em one or more terms, and they'll spit back a number of related phrases for which you should optimize. Only now Google's giving search volume data along with traditional Keyword Tool responses.
Real numbers, in addition to rough illustrations, will show up so long as you disable your ad-blocking software. (Adblock Plus people and/or Googlers might want to look into that.) The abbreviation "Approx" also appears, which is a little bit disheartening.
On the Inside AdWords blog, however, Trevor Claiborne states, "These approximate numbers are intended to provide better insight into keywords' monthly and average search volumes than previously provided by the tool."
If this proves to be the case - we'd recommend doing a little testing - most keyword tools that don't come from Mountain View will be of comparatively little use. Webmasters and SEOs who stick with the old favorites may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage.
Claiborne adds, "Remember, the Keyword Tool also provides several other keyword-related metrics that can help you select highly relevant keywords to improve the overall performance of your campaigns. You can easily view data on advertiser competition, search volume trends, estimated average CPCs, and estimated ad positions for keywords."

Keyword Research just got easier!
What a relief - keyword research just got easier. The old overture tool is not very accurate.
Excellent Addition
Google has resisted showing any concrete figures on search until now so people had to rely on data from place like the Overture tool which of course didn't include Google's data and therefore was horribly skewed. Now with the addition of this new tool seo's can get a much clearer perception of real figures for their keywords, especially as google has such a high percentage of the search market. Excellent addition. Tanzanite
Nice Addition to the Toolset
Many business owners and marketers have been waiting for this for a long time, It is nice to see that Google has finally gone ahead with it. It makes sense anyway for Google since it prevents even more people from leaving the program to get the raw number data. This way, more people use (and presumably trust) the tools.
interesting keyword data
Great data. Having more transparency into long tail keywords is pretty interesting, as well as seeing (however accurate they are) what the numbers reveal about regional (or locational) keywords. Nonetheless, great info to have.
not good enough
That data is pulled from PPC data not organic data and the numbers seem to be inflated just a tad, nice try Google. "A" for effort
i think this will some
i think this will some keyphrases a wee bit more competative

Very Cool
That's awsome they added that to their Keyword tool! I actualy did not think that Google would ever release that data, but I'm happy they did. This makes it much easier when going keyword research.
And I agree with you people who stick to the old keyword tools might be at a disadvantage for doing so.
Thanks for the post.
