Which Keyword Difficulty Tool Is More Accurate ?

Nick Flame said:
It's very hard for any keyword research tool to find the perfect formula for Keyword SEO difficulty (I should know since i launched the new tool in my signature), because they usually use one formula/algorithm for all queries and all type of keywords.

But if you have done keyword research for some time, you know that depending on the type of queries you use, there are nuances to how you evaluate your competition. An ecommerce based keyword, will be evaluated different from an informational keyword, and you evaluate a seasonal keyword different than just looking at the seo metrics.

That's why I think the best way is to look at the top 10 results individually when you make your evaluation, and not rely just on Keyword Difficulty score to filter through a bunch of keywords, as they may miss something.

I would have agreed to this, but not anymore. The site is down again and they say its cos of Moz. When every other site including moz is working fine.

Keysearch has worked fie all day for me today. I use that, KW finder, KW revealler, Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz - a mix to chec and double check anything that looks good.

@Nick Flame , thanks for the heads up, will give that a try too.

At the end of the day, use common sense and check competition etc manually.
Never rely on just one tool suggestion.

Accuracy will depend on your niche, I have SEMRush, Ahrefs, Spyfu, Keywordtool.io, market samurai and Moz. Just PM me and tell me about your niche and I'll generate some keyword research for you with my tools and you can decide which one is the most accurate :)
 
I use two tool to be sure about it One if ahrefs and other one is SEMrush.
 
Do you want to reveal keywords or evaluate difficulty?

If the latter, then the price of the kw's at adwords should be your most precise gauge. When nobody's bidding for a kw, it's an easy one. And google uses search volume data from their own SERPs so they know 100% precisely.
 
Nice discussion guys.
Thanks to all respected members sharing their precious exposure.
I am using SEO Powersuite, it's enterprise version works good for me.

Best Regards,
 
Ahrefs decent, but nothings gonna beat a manual review. Use any of the listed ones to parse down the list of possible markets, and then do the deep dive review manually.
 
Keyword research is arguably the most important step in the SEO process. It’s the perfect antidote to Google’s recent algorithm updates making it increasingly expensive, complicated, and risky to attempt to “punch above your weight” by manipulating your way to the top of the search engine results. Or at least, where the competition is weak enough that ranking won’t take every trick in the SEO book. This is why it is incredibly important to understand the accuracy of thekeyword difficulty tools your are using.
 
This post deserves a thread bump. I'd like to know opinions of more people on this. I had the same question, instead of launching a new thread, I'm bumping it here. Hope to receive more answers.
