Wordtracker Keyword Tool Scraper
I’m sure you know by now that WordTracker released a free keyword tool just a few days after Yahoo put their free keyword tool in the ground.
This should give Wordtracker some good publicity and also increase awareness of their paid services.
Anyway, here is a PHP cURL script that will scrape the results of the Wordtracker keyword tool. Right now it just prints out the results, but if you know what you’re doing you can store them in a file, database, or do whatever you like.
Then again, if you know what you’re doing you wouldn’t need me to tell you that.

Aren’t Wordtracker’s results really off-base though, when compared to the actual # of keyword searches on Google?
Wordtracker always seems to have a lower daily search count, than what I get when running an Adwords campaign.
That may be true, but the counts should be relative. In other words, you should be able to compare the popularity of two keywords in Wordtracker and know which one is more popular, even in Google.
Your tool scrapes Wordtracker on what level: like their free tool or like their paid service?
Thanks!

It scrapes their new, free service.
Thanks cdc.
[…] When the overture keyword tool broke, I tried both Wordtracker and Wordze. I hated Wordtracker and loved Wordze. More on this […]
I can’t figure out how to make the script work? I renamed it to .php, put my keyword in the script, and uploaded it, but it just puts out a blank page when I load it. I’m feeling stupid today.
Wordtracker made a slight change which broke the script. Try downloading it again and it should work.
I re-dl’ed but still no dice. I must be really off the ball today because this should be incredibly simple.
It’s working for me…I just copied the .txt to a .php and it worked fine. Are you sure you have cURL installed?
