Yes all Enterprise API users can specify what database they wish to access. So yes they both, plus a few of the regional ones as well.

As for usership, yes that is the plan, we have been heavily advertising on various PPC engines, content sites and networks in order to increase our usership numbers. Since we have many custom toolbars, the reach is diverse and is not limited to SEO users, which Alexa is commonly used.

Cheers

Oh, and could you something to the statement that your user base will increase from 4 million to 12 million by the end of the year, if you can? Thanks.

Thank you for the clarification David,

So the big Database remains updated as usual?

Is it also accessible through the API via modified requests that indicate that you want the big database vs the default?

Just a clarification on the above if I may.

The service has not really changed. Both the Premium and Global databases are still available. We simply only changed the default database to the far more accurate database as per our users requests.

The premium database has over 4 billion searches of the past 12 months, when comparing that to wordtracker which only has 300 million.

Users can still use and access the larger 33 billion dataset, which is still updated and maintained.

At the same time we release many new regional databases including:
Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, UK, with Canadian and Australian not far behind.

Cheers
David

I’m finding that some of the numbers from KeywordDiscovery with the new database change are way off. In some cases they report lower numbers for keywords than sites I work on get without even ranking number 1. Still, it’s a good tool for estimating interest and volume especially relative to other terms.
