How to get back the old pattern of avg. monthly searches on Google

The Google keyword planner has changed a lot in the past few years. Previously it was the Google keyword tool. Then it changed to the Google keyword planner and it is running updates so that no one cannot use it for free.

So, if you are new to keyword research then Google keyword tool was the best free keyword research tool in the market a few years ago. But now it is now the same situation anymore.

If you have an AdWords account only for doing keyword research by using the keyword research tool then you are not going to get the accurate results. It was inaccurate in the past. But now it has become more inaccurate. Especially for the free users.

If you are not running any AdWords campaign then you are not going to see the average monthly searches data as past. Now it show ranges in the multiple of 10 like 1-10,10-100,100-1000,1000-10K,10K-100K etc. So, it really becomes a pain to find the actual number of searches for a particular keyword. Previously it showed the data more specifically like -214,5000,81000 etc.

So, how are you going to solve this problem? Well, If you are using AdWords to run ads then you don't need to worry much just run a campaign and it will show it to you.
