Make Money Online Using WordTracker.com

I am always on the hunt for finding products and services that will enable me to be more effective in my business of making money online. WordTracker.com is a service that is really capturing my interest. As many know I am an avid user of Micro Niche Finder. In fact, I have covered many articles such as an article titled Make Money With Micro Niche Finder and Pepperjam.

Just a few days ago, I discovered that Micro Niche Finder is actually powered by WordTracker.com. So I figured that it would be a great idea to investigate the source and see what it was all about. What I found will impress you. WordTracker.com is an amazing service that I feel will totally help you in your business of making money online. WordTracker.com offers a 7 day Free Trial to even prove that to you.

What I Like So Far About WordTracker.com

First off, I really like the fact that you can truly get a full 7 day trial of their service without any limitations. Here is a screen shot of my dashboard showing me that I have 4 days left:

Most “Try Before You Buy” software puts restrictions on many of their services, giving you only a sample of what the program can do. WordTracker.com does not do that. When you sign up and get a 7 day trial of their program, you get the full program without limitations.

Another think that I really like and truly appreciate about the 7 day trial of WordTracker.com is the fact that they don’t make it difficult to cancel before your credit card is billed. Most “Try Before You Buy” software stuff the cancellation instructions deep within their web site making it very difficult to find, thus attempting to thwart the number of cancellations. WordTracker.com is obviously very confident of their product as they provide the cancellation link right there on your dashboard home page.

WordTracker.com vs Micro Niche Finder

I have been using Micro Niche Finder for almost a year now. I have been extremely satisfied with the performance of the program. However, I believe that I am starting to outgrow the program slightly. While Micro Niche Finder indeed does everything its advertised to do, it does have some limitations.

At times, Micro Niche Finder acts more of a suggestive tool towards finding keyword phrases to write about, where there are times that instead of being suggested on what to do, I’d like to actually collect raw information on the actual keyword phrases. There are times when I plug keywords into Micro Niche Finder and I am not able to get exact results for that phrase. Instead Micro Niche Finder produces relevant keyword phrases based off my query.

WordTracker.com is different. So far in my three days of trying WordTracker.com I have found that it has a wider ability to give me stats on exact keywords I want. Additionally, the suggestive keyword tools built in seem to produce more related keywords to the phrase I am inquiring about.

Here are two screen shots that compare the word Debt Consolidation. As many know I am doing a competition against John Cow to see who can sell a niche blog for the most money in SitePoint within 30 days. The Niche blog that I created is a blog titled, Debt Consolidation Book.

Debt Consolidation With WordTracker.com

In WordTracker.com, immediately I have a snap shot of very relevant keywords including the one I inquired about. I know very quickly the number of searches, the strength of competition and can quickly determine whether I should write content based off these certain keywords for ranking well in the SERPs.

Debt Consolidation In Micro Niche Finder

As you can immediately see, WordTracker.com shows better results. Not only that, but the results also show the stats for each keyword phrase. With Micro Niche Finder, you have to click on each attribute to get the data you desire. This wastes time and it also sends Google a ping each time you do it. The more you ping Google the increase in risk of getting your IP address temporarily banned. This has happened to me many times. It only takes about 3 hours to have the ban released, but it’s still a pain in the butt when it happens.

Which Program Is Better? WordTracker.com Vs Micro Niche Finder

That is a tough call to be honest with you. I have used Micro Niche Finder for almost a year and I can’t begin to tell you how much that little trusty program has helped me. It’s a very simple and straight forward program, but it does require more time to use the program since you need to click on each of the keyword phrase results to get the information. Secondly, you have to do this in moderation so that you don’t get your IP address temporarily banned from Google.

The software is a very affordable. The cost is a one time $67 dollar fee and from there you get free updates for life. I purchased Micro Niche Finder at version 2 and I am now using Micro Niche Finder version 3 after downloading and installing my free upgrade.

WordTracker.com is by far more advanced and provides you with many tools that Micro Niche Finder does not. The only disadvantage I see would be cost. The cost to use WordTracker.com is $59/ month which is way more expensive that Micro Niche Finder. In fact, after one month of using WordTracker.com you could practically own Micro Niche Finder free and clear.

However, once again, in the business of making money online, it takes money to make money. While WordTracker.com is more expensive, the tools are much better. Another pro with WordTracker.com is their free 7 day trial. If anything, you’d be a fool not to take advantage of that offer. Why not? There is nothing to lose on that aspect.

The only way you’d get billed for the software is if you were too lazy to cancel your account prior to billing. Which again, I must remind you that WordTracker.com has made this absolutely dummy proof, as they have provided the cancellation link directly in your face on your account dashboard home page.

Here Is My Advice Regarding Both Programs

I would advice purchasing Micro Niche Finder for the fact that it’s cheap. One month of using WordTracker.com will practically pay for the copy of Micro Niche Finder free and clear. With that being said, I would too recommend doing the 7 day WordTracker.com free trial. If you’re too lazy to cancel your account prior to billing, that is your own fault, not WordTracker.com. During the trial period, you have full access to all the tools while will allow you 7 days to make a solid and education decision on determining if WordTracker.com is right for you and your make money online business.

I just learned about you through Bobby Revell and wanted to take the time to thank you for helping him out with his latest troubles. I like reading his blog and would have missed his wonderful posts! I’m glad you were able to help him and I figure anyone he speaks so highly of is worth visiting. :)

MicroNicheFinder does not have a subscription to wordtracker. It is using amoung other services such as ASK and google suggest the freekeywords.wordtracker.com to get the keywords. Just look at the captcha some time :)

I actually like WordZe. More features, faster, easier to use and lower price.

Bobby is an awesome individual. I had fun talking with him last night and was very pleased that I was able to help him get his blog back up and running. It would have been terrible for the blogosphere to have lost his blog. :)

Thanks for clarifying that. Needless to say, I think WordTracker.com itself offers some amazing tools towards hunting down those keywords. However, there is nothing wrong with MNF, i have used it very successfully for almost a year. WordTracker.com is more expensive, but if you can afford it, use it. In the mean time, it would be a great idea for anyone to take advantage of their 7 day trial. That is an offer no one can refuse… at least I couldn’t. :)

I don’t know about WordZe. Can you tell us more about it?

I think you hit the nail on the head with the out growing comment…

MNF gives so much for so little but if you start to seriously make money in a consistent fashion then WordTracker may be the next step up.

I was actually upset when I found out the MNF used free services to get it’s results and then I sat down and thought about the things it actually does for me and realized that it has been more than worthwhile and will continue to recommend it.

I do have a project coming up that will benefit greatly from WordTracker’s accuracy (MNF does pee me off sometimes with that!!!)

Maybe and email to James Jones from us all may be able to push the program closer to Wordtracker…. if MNF offered similar service at half price sub, compared to WT, then I would probably take it up for a few months.
