Well it took a little longer then we first anticipated but it is finally done. Announcing…
KeywordCorral BETA

For those of you that have followed along with the “How to Build a Business Not Just a Blog” ebook, you will immediately see the advantages that this tool has to offer.
This is the first Beta release of this tool and we will be using this blog post as the testing grounds. If you have any comments, issues or upgrade ideas please post them below

IMPORTANT –> If you have any technical difficulties, please be as descriptive as possible and provide…
- Your operating system version
- What you did that caused the issue
This will help us quickly squash any issues that might arise.
Once this BETA test is over, we will be adding this tool to the affiliate system and creating a separate KEYWORD TRAINING guide that you can give away and in he guide you will be able to change the link to get the reader to download this tool with your affiliate link.
Check out this tool now and then register for your license above to download your copy.

Nice tool. I’m a Mac user but I have parallels installed
Will give it a try
Seems to be a cool tool and the price is deffinately right.
I was wondering though, is there a way to bypass some of the steps in your book and just manually enter a handfull of keywords/phrases instaed of importing a list?

It’s a pity it doesn’t work on Macs, as I don’t have Windows. *sigh*
P.S. Mac users don’t need Parallels to use Windows on their Macs, just to run both operating systems at the same time (so they don’t have to reboot every time they want to switch)
Thanks. I love getting free toys. I will check it ou this weekend and come back to give some feedback.
I’d install it except that it wants me to also install the .net framework from Microsoft and that’s not something I want to install. I guess I’ll pass and come back when it’s out of beta.

Does it normally take a long time to retrieve the information?
no, but check you spam filters. Give it 20 minutes max but shoudl be a few seconds.
Hi, John.
I don’t have any spam filters in place.
I went to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, did a search on a set of keywords, downloaded them as a TXT file, opened it with the program, and…
Nada.
It’s just dead.
Hope this works soon.
As usual, your gifts are high quality, generous and much appreciated. Already have your site on my blog role, but will blog a post this weekend about your ebook (again) and new tool. Hopefully you’ll get some link love back to ya!
You are one of the leaders in the new wave of IM - perfect example of pull rather than push marketing. Thank you.
Together, we are stronger!

I have missed you around here lately, you are also very encouraging
thanks for making it free, will try asap.
Uhhhh yeaaaaaaaah! Lol, I’m searching my inbox for the link, I’m already subscribed , thanks for this…awesome stuff for free man!
Normal Joes last blog post..Blog Flipping Gone Wild Contest
Thanks for the free tool! I didn’t even know you had one until I saw my email today. Anyway, I’m checking it out right now.
I installed it & everything, definitely has a nice easy to use interface - Any plans to release a PDF/txt read me file with directions? (My ADHD is flaring way too much to watch the video right now!)
Also, what do you recommend to use for getting a text file? Do I have to go Adwords keywords and export their info? Or is their an easier way I am missing?
Chelles last blog post..After He’s Been Caught: Should You Stay or Should You Go?
I click on the “Click To get It Now” link up the top and all that happens is that this page comes up again. Even when I rightclick and save.
I came here from the link in my email so I’m subscribed.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
Tamar
did you get the download in your email. If you are already subscribed you shoudl have recieved an email with the link to download.
Hi,
I’ve got the download link now since your last email. Thank you. (It did say up the top not to re-register again if you were already registered!)
My next question is: Is there anyway you can specifiy a particular region of the world. For instance,my Googleadwords campaigns just cover Australia. So when I put my Keyword List into this tool it said under Search Volume-”false”-for all keywords. Or have I missed doing something?
I’m not meaning to sound ungrateful btw! Just giving feedback
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Ta
It is very kind of you to be giving this for FREE. I love Free kick-ass tools. Thanks man.

Linky Loves last blog post..What’s the ideal link?
Hi Jason- many thanks for this KW tool- I appreciate it and it looks pretty cool.
I imported some KWs from the Google external tool in text file into it, but can’t get the competition numbers to come up.
Do you need to be getting your keywords from a different source..?
thanks guys for the great blog!
you need to make sure you use the Google Traffic Estimator results to input the data. The competition will be blank until you select the rows (keyword) you want to check and then you click “Get Competition”
I will be putting a training manual together for everyone.
der! I read the other comments and found my problem- I needed to use Traffic Estimator to import Kws. Thanks for the nifty toy! It works Beautifully
Pat
you are one of those who give away something for free that others would exploit for money. thanks!
janrafis last blog post..The best gift for less than a dollar
I was excited at first but then read no mac, I really have been looking for something just like this. If anyone has any advice on a tool that is mac friendly please do tell…
thanks jb
sorry Jason. I use a MAc but i also run windows parrallel and it makes it easy.
Hi again
Wondering if there might be comment about a competition number I got from KW Corral..
I get 1,020 as competing number of pages for “best gps unit” in KW Corral but Google says that term has over 40,000.
Is there some other way that these competition numbers are measured…?
Maybe how well the pages are optimized or something to explain this difference I wonder…?
thanks for helping on this one
the software does a competition search using teh google allintitle filter.
Hi Jason
so KW Corral gets the competition numbers using the all in title..
which would you say is a better indicator then of real competition for an affiliate..
the number of pages that have been optimized for the term like Google returns when checking with quotations…or
number of pages with the term in the title…
thanks for your input- I really do appreciate it!
Pat
This is cool. I’m became more and more interested now with site flipping
Riyannes last blog post..Make money online without owning a blog
Going to give this a shot tonight. How does this compare to keyword Elite? Does it do pretty much the same thing? I really wanted to try that program but wasn’t ready to spend $200 (or was it $300?).
Jasons last blog post..Quick Update on Trend Spike
I can answer this if you like.
Keyword Elite, while a great program, is not free. This software can essentially do the same thing, as can some other options. The software you are looking at is very good, one of the best I think. But, one can get the same thing without the cost. The software you get here for free is about the same. Google Keywords is really good as well and is also free.
Cheers,
Jeromy

Ryan McLeans last blog post..Taking a Break
Since I just got the book and the software, I haven’t had time to read the book and I don’t have a clue on how to use the program. Is there a pdf help file or a specific section of the book I can reference to use this tool?
Thanks!
As far as the competition data. Is the tool collecting it using any search operators like allintitle: or allinurl:. Or just using exact matching with quotes?
Allintitle

so what I am reading is this is a windows based application. does this mean it does not support fire fox?
you see, i cannot use windows cause i have a problem with windows . i can only use my fire fox ..
I think you might be confusing microsoft internet explorer with microsoft windows. The browser you use does not matter.
COW! I am mad at you… no Mac support?

thanks for the info .
very helpful
Mine wants a code to unlock it. Is there a standard one or are you supposed to email one to us? I need help!
enter your email address in the form in the software and if it is registered it will email you the unlock code.
Thanks for this tool. My initial results where that the sorting was not working correctly (or as expected) for the columns with money figures, the sort works fine on the Keyword list, but all other columns didn’t sort correctly.
I will keep checking. Thanks Again

At first I had trouble, but then I went back and re-read the post and the instructions. You have to use the Google Traffic Estimator. It puts all of the data into the right format for the program.
One, “bug”. CSV was originally a format that meant “comma-seperateed-value” format. It looks like the program will only accept a tab seperated file. This is the format that Google outputs and names it .csv, but I do believe it is a misnomer to call it CSV.
When I was playing around I tried to output a Comma-seperate file from Excel and it could not load.
Anyway, great job. It would be nice to have a range for what competition you believe should be targeted. I would think a level of 500 to 2500 would be good. Above that, I would think a very large number of links will be needed. What say you?
CD Rates Blogs last blog post..EmigrantDirect Savings Rate - Updated Aug 2008
Another comment, it would be nice to be able to save the competition data, especially since as you note, Google won’t be happy if they keep seeing a request for info. As it is, it doesn’t seem like you can save any data unless you filter it.
You could always load the file and re-run if you want to refresh it.
I also just noticed that it saves in a comma,seperated format, but when I try to reload it is expecting a tab,seperated format. So that is certainly a boo-boo.
i downloaded the Keyword Corral. i just wanted to let you know about a problem i have had ever since putting it on my computer.
I opened my computer tonight, was doing a little browsing. when i got boot4ed off my windows. it was due to some error thing. so i signed back on, and again a few minutes later, got booted. since i uninstalled the Keyword Corral, i have not had this problem….
that is strange, be great if you submitted a ticket to support@johncow.com and we could trouble shoot it
well, too late to trouble shoot it cause i already deleted it from the system,so i wouldn’t keep getting booted off the system.
Have had 0 people complain about similar issues.
i just hope no one else is having the same sort of problems with it.
Hey John Cow,
Thanks for the great free keyword tool.
However, the competition numbers appear to be way off.
You say you use the allintitle tag for the results, so I tested this out on google (.com; .co.uk ; .com.au; and .co.za) and never got the same numbers your tool was spitting out.
For example, using the keyword “cheap hotel” gave me a competition of 4650 000.
In google, searching for allintitle:”cheap hotel”
gave me 3800 000.
So where exactly is your data coming from then??
Brett, I have a feeling google made a change… I will get with the programmer.. i am thinking an update is in need.

RStanley -
I was looking forward to trying this - but as a Mac user seems I’m missing out again
Mrs Ss last blog post..New York Bus Tours
Every Mac owner should buy Parallel for running windows on your mac. That is what I do and it allows me to have the best of both worlds.
Yes I agree cool tool but I’m confused-
cause anytime I see the allintitle used it’s with no quotations around the KW.
Can someone please tell me which one is the more appropriate number..?
allintitle: advertising website = 170,000
allintitle:”advertising website” =35,000 (this returned by KC)
thank you thank you!!
allintitle:advertising website is only ensuring that the term “Advertising” is in the title. It is then also looking for the other term at least present on the page. The top results will tend to have both in the title but not mandatory.
allintitle:”advertising website” however will make sure the phrase “advertising website” is in the title and this shows you exactly what competition is exactly targeting that phrase.
The phrase “advertising website” to me is too competitive a term, I generally only target phrases that have decent traffic and have no more than a 10 000 for results in google. 35 000 is pretty high. I will only go for terms like that if I am researching for a high authority site that already has lots of respect and rankings in Google and the traffic had better be good.
Personally I like to only target 3 word phrases, the reason is I can be sure the people using the phrase are looking for something specific.
Hi,
I’m using KC 1.03 and I like it very much. It’s a really helpful tool.
But when I check competition, Google sometimes gives me no data even if the keywords checked are < 10. Then that nice “<!doctype …” fills out the competition field.
It would be a great thing, if this field could be resetted to zero for a later check. Maybe it’s possible already and I just did not see it, but at the moment I have to add it manually to my saved result file.
Again, thumbs up for this software.
Peter
Hi Jason
I am not able to register KeywordCorral, I downloaded it from this site but when I try to run/register the application, it won’t accept my name and email address. What do I do wrong?
Appreciate your assistance
Thanks
Barbara
me too, i can’t register KC… it didn’t accept my email address
Hi,
I have used this piece of software and have found it useful.
I have included in my recent post of free keyword tools.
thanks for free software.
how to use this software?
there is no user guide.
video just show how to use the software with sample file, but my question is where and how to create the file similar to sample?
can u help me?
Your software is very useful. Thanks a lot!
Where can I download the pdf you mentioned?
it uses traffic estimator data you can not just import keywords
Thanks for the feedback, I am grateful for it
I will see about getting different countries added but not making any promises. I think however I could probably get the programmers to do something with a few countries.
Would you be able to email me your csv file so I can give that to the programmer?
Jason,
Where should I email it to?
That would be great!
Cheers,
Tamar
