Whilst it has been slated as having a bit of a cumbersome interface, The Dowser has always been one of my favorite keyword research tools.
I don't use it exclusively, I also own The Keyword Bible (great for fast keyword list generation), Keyword Locator, and a number of other tools I use, free, purchased, and even a couple I wrote myself while learning some PHP.
I just received a most welcome email from the guys at The Dowser... it was long overdue
They have been keeping users equiped with additional tools over the last few months, and they have proven to be useful.
But there hadn't been a Dowser Update...
Until NOW!
Here is the email...
