Great news! As of a couple of days ago, Google’s External Keyword Tool now finally shows actual numbers rather than just the relative search volume.

Take a look:

You will see that the approximate search volume for the previous month and the average search volume will change if you change the keyword matching options from broad to phrase to exact match.

This data will provide more insight for internet marketers who want to assess a niche before entering it. It is also a good way to scope out new keywords for either SEO or PPC.

Another thing you can do is target a specific country’s searches. This can provide good insight if you are selling to a specific country.

Other Google tools you can use for research include their Ad Planner (ask for a beta invite), Google Trends, and Trends for Websites. Ad Planner looks like a tool that will let you research content network ad placement. There’s also speculation that someday it will get integrated into AdWords.
