Where is the traffic data coming from ?

All Wordsfinder results comes from real search queries in Google, Yahoo and MSN as we have spent months collecting words from Google AdWords Keyword Tool and the now dead Overture Keyword Selector owned by Yahoo. The source of the data is updated every 3 weeks.

How do I use the API?

You can call the Wordsfinder Traffic API http://www.wordsfinder.com/api_traffic.php with either HTTP GET or POST, along with your API Key and the word desired.

For example, here's a sample GET query (use with your API Key):

http://www.wordsfinder.com/api_traffic.php?user=DEMO&word=MY_KEYWORD

PHP example

If you know how to use cURL, here's a sample POST in cURL command-line syntax (use with your API Key):

$ch = curl_init();
$value = 'http://www.wordsfinder.com/api_traffic_code.php';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $value);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'country=US&user=YOUR_API_KEY&word='.$word);
$xml = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

 

How do we spit the search traffic.

Our tool currently assumes Google having 60.9% of the search traffic where Yahoo! having 22.3%, MSN 10.6% and ASK 4.3% of the entire search volume. Stats are based on a 2006 Hitwise survey. Depending on your topic and your geographic location the search engines may have vastly different search volumes. The tool can only possibly offer approximations. Exact search volumes are hard to find due to vanity searches, click bots, rank checkers, and other forms of automated traffic. Exceptionally valuable search terms show far greater volume than they actually have due to various competitive commercial forces causing greater automated search traffic.

 

Traffic Example: how to read results

The following example it is for the query: Cheap House. Related search terms like Cheap House Insurance and Cheap House for Sale are shown with an estimated traffic of 21,589 and 74,107 monthly searches in the US alone. Therefore if you are working on an Real Estate website you might want to have a section on Insurance as people have an interest on the subject.

traffic example

All our results could be downloaded into a CSV file and studied later.

This issue related to "invalid argument supplied for foreach() in" has now been fixed!

tom

this is a great tool, do you get the data from Google?

frank from Wordsfinder

From Google "AdWords API users can access our trove of historical keyword and bid data via the Traffic Estimator Service, which gives detailed estimates of how much traffic a keyword may generate at various CPC values. The service is not only useful for new products or campaigns, but it can also estimate the impact of changing the Max CPC of existing keywords as well."
