I am not quite sure when exactly it happened, but it seems that Wordtracker has dropped its 1–day subscription plan.

This plan, in fact, offered you full three days of access to the Wordtracker database for as little as $8. It was great value for money – you could do very extensive research and save it for later use. Perhaps, this plan turned out to be too good, taking customers away from more profitable plans (weekly, monthly and yearly).

This may come as a rather unfortunate news for some because now, you have to shell out at least $27 to use this service. On the other hand, this may actually be beneficial to more business-oriented niche marketers. $27 is still a very little investment, but it should stop at least some people from competing against you for every possible term found in the Wordtracker database.

However, there’s also an excellent alternative, which actually led me to leave the Wordtracker service for a while. It’s called Nichebot. You can use it to get results from two databases – Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery, using a rather unique credit system instead of period-based subscription plans. It also has a wealth of other tools to get the maximum value out of your keyword research projects. I am working on a full review of this system, with videos, etc., but in the meantime, you can try it for yourself – you can sign up for a 15–day trial of the system (with full functionality) for as little as $1. If you need to conduct some keyword research right now, it’s the cheapest way to get solid data I can think of right now.
