Keyword Elite Review - How Good Is It?
In spite of all the good things that most affiliate
marketers mention in their reviews of Keyword Elite,
I would like to strike a balance by giving a more
realistic review of this piece of software. No doubt,
Keyword Elite is a piece of excellent software that
can be run on your desktop to help you carry out a
more extensive keyword research. It surpasses every
single free tool in the market, which many people
are using. However, there are two major caveats you
need to bear in mind before you buy Keyword Elite.
1. The Problem of Current Database
Keyword Elite does not generate keywords by itself.
In fact, keywords are pulled from various sources
such as Overture and Google. This means that in most
of the time, accuracy and speed are depending on these
external sources. If the sources are not reliable
or their servers are slow to progress, you will have
a hard time in using Keyword Elite. For example, at
this time Overture database are having problem of
speed and stability. Therefore, if you choose Overture
as one of the sources to retrieve a list of keywords,
you will spend many hours before you can finish the
search. Because of this, you may find some users complaining
about the slowness of the software and even sometimes
they will get N/A results from their research. Another
good example is taken from Wordtracker. For instance,
the recent update for Wordtracker will cause a captcha
appears for every single keyword in Project 2 of Keyword
Elite. A captcha is a kind of test adopted by much
internet technology to fight spamming. The most commonly
used captcha is a gimmick that requires you to put
in certain numbers or letters given in a distorted
image. It will definitely annoy you if you need to
key in repeatedly hundreds or thousands times just
to get rid of the captcha for a long list of keywords.
To be fair, these are external factors that fall out
of control of Keyword Elite. Any keyword tool that
depends on these external sources will face a similar
problem.
2. The Accuracy of High Paying Keywords
One of the commercial baits that seems very attractive
in Keyword Elite is that it enables you to find Adsense
high paying keywords. If you are using Adsense on
your website to generate income, surely this feature
seems to be a killer. How does it work? The answer
is simple. Keyword Elite can retrieve those high paying
keywords based on the estimation of Adwords cost-per-click
(CPC). However, this is one of the features that disappoints
a lot of users. The truth is that the CPC retrieved
from Adwords only reflects the Google regular search,
but not the content search network. In most cases,
the Adwords advertisers will bid much higher in Google
regular search than the content search network. This
means that you may see $5 bid price in CPC that you
obtain from Keyword Elite but in real picture, the
same advertiser may have a bid price of $0.03 for
a similar keyword, thus causing you to get a much
lower CPC for your Adsense. This is the main reason
why I heard so many users complaining the inaccuracy
of Keyword Elite. In reality, this is not a fault
that belongs to the software per se, because this
is the limitation imposed by Google itself. Be that
as it may, Keyword Elite is still a time saver and
many of its features can still earn Keyword Elite
one of the best keyword research tools in the current
internet enterprise.
