Google Keyword Tool is it accurate or NOT ?

Discussion in 'Google' started by teoxy, Aug 5, 2009.

    I am targeting a 35,100,000 results keyword with avg. of 250.000 monthly searches. My site is currently in the #5 position. With the #5 position , i managed to receive 460 uniques from Google within 29 days. So my question is ... is this Keyword Tool accurate? I mean , the #1 position does really get over 50.000-75.000 uniques / month from that keyword ?
    I am asking this , because i need to know if i should continue doing SEO on that keyword or not...

    The google adwords keyword tool is as accurate as you need it to be. I always use exact keyword phrases to measure impressions and not broad!

    Are you looking at broad match or exact match for the keyword?

    well adwords tool is not accurate, but you can use one more tool :
    http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/

    Just check the results from both these tools and you can get a nice idea. Though Seobook is itself not accurate but if you combine a few such tools you will get a rough idea.

    when it comes to keywords nothing is perfect. They always carry a considerable amount of error. If you ask Internet Millionaire you will get the same answer.

    I really like that SEO Book tool mentioned above, it seems to give a more accurate and realistic count of searches

    No, I'm sure that it is not 100% accurate, it will just provide you some idea, you can only estimate it yourself.

    Could be 100% accurate, but it always depends on the keywords you're targeting... might be a seasonal keyword and ranking will definitely differs from month to month ;)

    any search estimate tool can not be accurate as you are looking for because each tool data depend on last few months search data base. Google also do same. Some time google show data, which has been change in few day....up and down. we can at least find some good keywords......to do site optimization.
