On July 8, Google did something we’ve been hoping to see for a very long time. They added search volume data to their keyword research tool. Instead of those very general bars, we now have numeric search query data to compare last month’s and an average search volume on specific keywords. This pulls data from Google and their search network. It’s not a universal tool because it doesn’t pull search query volumes from other engines like Yahoo, Live and Ask but it does give us a quick glance at Google – and best of all it’s free.
