GOOGLE KEYWORD TOOL REPLACED BY KEYWORD PLANNER

Google has officially killed off their Keyword Tool and replaced it with their new Keyword Planner. However, the Internet marketing world has not quite embraced the change. Common complaints include: access is only available through AdWords, lack of match type data, zero device targeting info and no comparison between global vs. local searches. Nonetheless, there are some positives like: keyword search volume data on a city level and ability to upload keywords (up to 10,000) from your own list.
