Google to drop the old Keyword Tool by month end

Google has posted in their Adwords blog that they are taking the new keyword tool out of beta. Now, they are saying their ‘new’ keyword tool, which basically has been there since September 2009 when Google phased out the old keyword tool for this new one.

The old keyword tool that is currently accessible will be available through the end of the month. From September 1, 2010 onwards, the old keyword will start redirecting to the new keyword tool. Google has also stated that they will give the updates once the switch happens and they will also drop the ‘beta’ label from the current tool.

Based on early feedback, Google has also added and removed some features. The new feature includes removing duplicate keywords as well as negative keywords and other additions.

The new keyword tool has got numerous benefits over the old one. It offers flexible search options like search by any keyword combination, category, website/URL and receive one set of results. It also offers easy filter results either by word or keyword match. You can view statistics for the mobile search and use the data filter based on the local searches, ad share and lots more.

Google has also commented that they will continue to improve their updated keyword tool to make it more useful for the users.
