Keyword Discovery changes effect Keyword Discovery 9-in-1, WordTrend Visual Keyword charts and The Count Collector

As I had indicated back earlier in April, there were some inevitable changes coming with Keyword Discovery and a database switch they were going through.

You should definitely read that post in the hyperlink above before you move on with reading about these changes. This will add on to what was already said.

Keyword Discovery has swapped out their main Global database that used to give off huge count totals in place of a different type of database.

They call it the Premium database and that is NOW the default database that is used at their main service as well as what is given to their API users, like NicheBOT.

This means that there has been a serious shift in the COUNT numbers that used to be displayed by The Count Collector and the WordTrend Visual Keyword charts.(fully detailed below)

You can still get the older (higher) numbers (if you want) from the Global – Historical selction in the Keyword Discovery 9-in-1 tool (2nd option down). However, there is no way to get the MONTHLY breakdown of the search count totals displayed in the WordTrend Visual Keyword Charts tool.

So just to be absolutely clear, the WordTrend Visual Keyword Charts tool and The Count Collector now both report the Keyword Discovery search counts from their Premium database that is called Global – Premium at NicheBOT 2.

So what does this mean in plain English and what is the Keyword Discovery Premium database anyways?

That’s a really good question — and curiosity may lead people to want to know the guts of what this database is all about.
