sex as the number one searched word, not suprised.. but number 2 and 3 did! Interesting for me since i taught english for two years here in china.

Also travel asia, and travel china are at the top, more interesting words for me. Mayhap ill be making some sites around these soon.

Thanks to adamovic for the great infos. Keep up the good work

this thread made me remember i have a huge database (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=131269) to help learn chinese laying around. I saw that "learn chinese" was in the top 50 most searched phrases and remembered. Hopefully i can use this to make some nice mula :)

"Learning English" surprised me a bit too, would be interesting to see where all of these searches came from (which countries)

That's a really great list. Thanks!

I'm actually surprised some of those keywords/phrases are even in the top 1,000.

I compared some of these terms on Google trends and their data is very different. For example, compare the terms download, free, and sex and you'll see a very different view. Language school and learn english were practically non-existant in comparison. Maybe it all comes from the different demographic of users, not sure...

I think it is due to screw in Overture data.
Have you noticed entry "buy lvivhost.com online viagra viagra"???
It seems that SEOs are generating a lot of requests which are presented in Overture data.

I dont think Google Trends is working correctly or maybe not stable yet, I have tested millions of time on sime specific words It allways give different results how come ?

I haven't known that Google trends is skrewed also. It means all is not completly correct : Overture keyword suggestion, Google trends, Wordtracker, Recent AOL Data...

Aug 29th 2006, 4:17 am

"The terms are generated using Overture information." like some kind of overture bruteforce?

hextraordinary

Aug 29th 2006, 4:23 am

This is a key here:
The list is not official and is not completly correct, but it gives an overview.

Frankly I don't think it's correct at all!!!

Beside the fact that a lot of data is missing like demographics, search through what service, timeframe, etc...

I don't think this list is correct or mean anything. Here is why:
According to Digital point Keyword Suggestion Tool (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/), here is the results for just three words.

language school
Wordtracker : 251.0 /day
Overture: 158,953.8 /day

language school
Wordtracker : 97.0 /day
Overture: 167,452.5 /day

transfer money overseas:
Wordtracker 17.0 /day
Overture: 100,946.4 /day

Does it make any sense to you? Am I interpreting wrong?

Yeah, there are some strange data in both Wordtracker and Overture. Wordtracker has small sample so it is not much accurate. AOL data also has specific and small sample to be good. Somebody mentioned that Google trends gave him different results for same queries on different dates. It seems that there are no really reliable data.

Out of curiosity, has anyone here signed up to the full version of wordtracker before, are you still signed up? and does it justify the charge?

As far as im aware, even the full version of wordtracker provides results that are 3 months old, i understand with keywords lists that they cant be up to the minute like some things can.

Im curious of anyones opinions on wordtracker in general.

I did some keyword research for a project and had a 7 day subscription to it. It was *useful* but not something I will do again.

I actually had a much better experience with Keyword Country - it was much easier to identify niches etc. I tried that for 7 days as well, for $35, and will probably try that again over Wordtracker.

Anyway, from the initial post there is this:

google search 1191993

Always makes me wonder...why would people actually search for such a term... :confused:

Those numbers fluctuate. You could query 10 times Overture keyword suggestion and you could get different numbers :(

BTW, I also used Overture data to try to find free domain names with 3 keyword in it. Those keywords should have at least 10000 monthly searches on Overture. I develop my own domain registration robot. Guess what - other people do the same with Overture data so I wasn't able to find any decent free domain.

Anyway, if some of DigitalPoint memebers want Overture data I have, just send me an email request and I will send you.

Maybe the numbers are different because the different data is filtered, like for the word sex. Something like "safe search" is enabled or activated.

Maybe.
