Overture Keyword Selector predictions are bad?

[Prookle]

Hi,
Im currently #1 at yahoo for a keyword that the keyword selector, at overture, tells me that gets 21k monthly searches per month.

For some odd reasons, I do not get any traffic from that keyword, from yahoo.

Anyone knows why? Is the predictions of Overture keyword selector tools wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

Check that keyword here, how many searches/day it gets so that you get your doubt cleared ;)

According to that tool, my keyword gets 696.7 /day from Overture, but it has no data found for Wordtracker?

I still have no traffic from yahoo even if Im still #1.

Anyone knows what could be happening?

Overture has been bad sometimes for me. To clear the doubt i use WordTracker, Google Trends and above all my common sense.

Yeh I really don't recommend it, and I agree with idiot in the trends.

Have you tried the Google adwords keyword tool? The link is https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Overture will combine similar terms into one.
